Because the earth turns on a tilted axis (23.5° to be exact) Sometimes the top of the earth is facing the sun, and in December it's farthest away from the sun as it can be.

Which of the following oils would consume the greatest number of equivalents of hydrogen when subject to catalytic hydrogenation
Murljashka [212]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a fatty acid contains high number of double bonds then its unsaturation will also be high and hence, it will consume greater number of equivalents of hydrogen.

In corn oil, there are no unsaturated sites are present.

In olive oil, there is one unsaturated site with majority of oleic acid. In olive oil, there are more than 70% of total unsaturated oils.

In lard oil, there are around 60% of unsaturated oils.

In herring oil, there are highest number of saturated fatty acids and lowest polyunsaturated acids.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, olive oils would consume the greatest number of equivalents of hydrogen when subject to catalytic hydrogenation.

Un deportista de 72 kg trepa por una cuerda hasta una altura de 12m. Calcula el incremento de energía potencial gravitatoria que
Oxana [17]

A 72 kg athlete climbs a rope to a height of 12m. Calculate the increase in gravitational potential energy it has experienced.

Answer:

8467.2J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the athlete = 72kg

Height of the climb  = 12m

Unknown:

Increase in gravitational potential energy it has experienced = ?

Solution:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. It is mathematically expressed as;

  Gravitational potential energy  = m x g x h

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

h is the height

   Insert the parameters and solve;

  Gravitational potential energy  = 72 x 9.8 x 12

  GPE = 8467.2J

An unknown gas Q requires 2.67 times as long to effuse under the same conditions as the same amount of nitrogen gas. What is the
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is 199.66 grams per mole.

Explanation:

Based on law of effusion given by Graham, a gas rate of effusion is contrariwise proportionate to the square root of molecular mass, that is, rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of mass. Therefore,  

R1/R2 = √ M2/√ M1

Here rate is the rate of effusion of the gas expressed in terms of number of mole per uni time or volume, and M is the molecular mass of the gas.  

Rate Q/Rate N2 = √M of N2/ √M of Q

The molecular mass of N2 or nitrogen gas is 28 grams per mole and M of Q is molecular mass of Q and based on the question Q needs 2.67 times more to effuse in comparison to nitrogen gas, therefore, rate of Q = rate of N2/2.67

Now putting the values we get,  

rate of N2/2.67/rate of N2 = √28/ √M of Q

√M of Q = √ 28 × 2.67

M of Q = (√ 28 × 2.67)²

M of Q = 199.66 grams per mole

worty [1.4K]
While most constellations are only visible to us in different seasons, some are always there 24/7/365 because they are positioned close to the Polar Axis, or the Polaris.
