Distance traveled by the race horse=6 furlongs

Converting the distance from furlongs to rods: 40 rods =1 furlong

6 furlongs*\frac{40rods}{1furlong} =240rods

Converting the distance from rods to yards, feet and miles: 5.5 yards = 1 rod, 3foot =1 yard, 1 mile = 5280 feet.

240rods*\frac{5.5yards}{1rod}*\frac{3foot}{1yard}*\frac{1mi}{5280feet}=0.75mi

The given speed of race horse = 40.7mi/hr

Calculating the time required:

0.75mi*\frac{1hr}{40.7mi}*\frac{60min}{1hr}*\frac{60s}{1min}= 66.34s

Therefore, 66.34 s is required for a race horse to run six furlongs at 40.7 miles per hour.

A sample of calcium phosphate was found to have a mass of 125.3 g. How many molecules were contained in the sample?
Viktor [21]

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

  • <u><em>Therefore number of molecules(N) present in the calcium phosphate sample are  19.3 × 10^23 molecules.</em></u>

Explanation:

Given:

mass of calcium phosphate (Ca_{3}(PO_{4} )_{2} ) = 125.3 grams

We know;

molar mass of calcium phosphate  (Ca_{3}(PO_{4} )_{2} ) = (40×3) + 3 (31 +(4×16))

molar mass of calcium phosphate  (Ca_{3}(PO_{4} )_{2} ) = 120 + 3(95)

molar mass of calcium phosphate  (Ca_{3}(PO_{4} )_{2} )  = 120 +285 = 405 grams

<em>We also know;</em>

No of molecules at STP conditions(N_{A}) = 6.023 × 10^23 molecules

To solve:

no of molecules present in the sample(N)

We know;

\frac{m}{M} =\frac{N} }{}N÷N_{A}

\frac{405}{125.3} =\frac{N}{6.023*10^23}

N =(405×6.023 × 10^23) ÷ 125.3

N = 19.3 × 10^23 molecules

<u><em>Therefore number of molecules(N) present in the calcium phosphate sample are  19.3 × 10^23 molecules</em></u>

A researcher recorder that a chemical reaction require 2.90 gal water and raised the temperature of the reaction vessel by 57°F.
Ivan

Answer:

10.875L

Explanation:

The problem here is a simple conversion. The conversion is from gal to liters Liter is a SI unit for recording volume as stated in the problem.

Given that:

              1 gallon of water = 3.75L

              2.90 gallon will be 2.9 x 3.75; 10.875L

Valence Bond theory predicts that tin will use what hybrid orbitals in Snf5 -1​
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

sp3d

Explanation:

The ground state electronic configuration of tin is written as; [Kr] 5s²4d¹⁰5p². Hybridization is a concept used to explain the combination of orbitals of appropriate energy to produce suitable orbitals that could be used for bonding.

In forming the compound Snf5^ -1, we have to hybridize the following orbitals on tin; 5p, 5d and 6s orbitals. This gives us a set of sp3d hybrid  hence the answer.
