Answer:

The length of the fence is 22.5ft and the width of the fence is 7.5ft.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will turn this question into an equation.

The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2l + 2w = perimeter.

In the question we were given the perimeter so we can go ahead and plug this in.

2l + 2w = 60

In the question we are also told that the fence is 3 times as long as it is wide. This means that 1l = 3w. We can now subsitute l for 3w so that we only have one variable.

2(3w) + 2w = 60

Now we can simply use algebra to solve for w.

6w + 2w = 60

8w = 60

w = 7.5

Now that we know the value of w we can find the value of l since we know 1l = 3w.

l = 3w

l = 3(7.5)

l = 22.5

The length of the fence is 22.5ft and the width of the fence is 7.5ft.

decameters - meters: multiply by 10

meters to meters: multiply by 1

centimeters to meters: divide by 100

millimeters to meters: divide by 1000

For the rows at the bottom:

hectometer row: 100, multiply by 100, 4500

decameter row: 10, multiply by 10, 450

meter row: 1, multiply by 1, 45

decimeter row: 0.1, divide by 10, 4.5

centimeter row: 0.01, divide by 100, 0.45

im guessing theres a millimeter row at the bottom:

millimeter row: 0.001, divide by 1000, 0.045


hope this helps!

In an experiment magnesium ribbon was heated in air. The product was found to be heavier than the original ribbon. Potassium man
KatRina [158]

Burning a magnesium ribbon in the air is an addition reaction while heating potassium manganate 7 is a decomposition reaction.

<h3>Addition and decomposition reactions</h3>

Magnesium burns in air to produce magnesium oxide as follows:

2Mg + O_2 --- > 2MgO

Potassium manganate 7 burns to produce multiple products as follows:

2 KMnO_4 --- > K_2MnO_4 + MnO_2(s) + O_2

Thus, the MgO will be heavier than Mg. On the other hand, MnO_2 will be less heavy than KMnO_4.

How much<br>much hydrogen gas evolved<br>when 1.5 current is passed through water for 1.5 hours?​
evablogger [386]

0.042 moles of Hydrogen evolved

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

I = 1.5 A

t = 1.5 hr = 5400 s

Required

Number of Hydrogen evolved

Solution

Electrolysis of water ⇒ decomposition reaction of water into Oxygen and Hydrogen gas.

Cathode(reduction-negative pole) : 2H₂O(l)+2e⁻ ⇒ H₂(g)+2OH⁻(aq)

Anode(oxidation-positive pole) : 2H₂O(l)⇒O₂(g)+4H⁻(aq)+4e⁻

Total reaction : 2H₂O(l)⇒2H₂(g)+O₂(g)

So at the cathode H₂ gas is produced

Faraday : 1 mole of electrons (e⁻) contains a charge of 96,500 C

\tt mol~e^-=\dfrac{Q}{96500}

Q = i.t

Q = 1.5 x 5400

Q = 8100 C

mol e⁻ = 8100 : 96500 = 0.084

From equation at cathode , mol ratio e⁻ : H₂ = 2 : 1, so mol H₂ = 0.042
