Answer:

\boxed{\text{B. HC}}

Explanation:

The blow-by gases that escape past the piston rings and get into the crankcase are mostly unburned fuel-air mixture.

The fuel is largely a mixture of hydrocarbons (HCs) .

The PCV system captures these gases and feeds them back to the cylinder for further combustion.

A. is wrong. Carbon dioxide exits through the exhaust.

C. is wrong. Most of the oxygen in the incoming air is used for combustion in the cylinders.

D is wrong. The NOx gases exit via the exhaust and are trapped by the catalytic converter.

Given the equilibrium constants for the following two reactions in aqueous solution at 25 ∘C HNO2(aq)H2SO3(aq)⇌⇌H+(aq) + NO2−(aq
krok68 [10]

Answer : The value of K_c for the final reaction is, 184.09

Explanation :

The equilibrium reactions in aqueous solution are :

(1) HNO_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+NO_2^-(aq)         K_{c_1}=4.5\times 10^{-4}

(2) H_2SO_3(aq)\rightleftharpoons 2H^+(aq)+SO_3^{2-}(aq)         K_{c_2}=1.1\times 10^{-9}

The final equilibrium reaction is :

2HNO_2(aq)+SO_3^{2-}(aq)\rightleftharpoons H_2SO_3(aq)+2NO_2^-(aq)         K_{c}=?

Now we have to calculate the value of K_c for the final reaction.

Now equation 1 is multiply by 2 and reverse the equation 2, we get the value of final equilibrium reaction and the expression of final equilibrium constant is:

K_c=\frac{(K_{c_1})^2}{K_{c_2}}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

K_c=\frac{(4.5\times 10^{-4})^2}{1.1\times 10^{-9}}=184.09

Therefore, the value of K_c for the final reaction is, 184.09

Answer:

c) Normal

Explanation:

Reflection is a phenomenon typical of light wave; it occurs when a ray of light hits the interface between two mediums, and bounces off back into the original medium, at a certain angle.

The direction of the reflected ray is determined by the law of reflection, which states that:

1) The incident ray and the reflected ray, together with the normal to the interface (the perpendicular to the interface), all lie within the same plane

2) The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection:

\theta_i=\theta_r

where

\theta_i is measured as the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the interface

\theta_r is measured as the angle between the reflected ray and the normal to the interface

Answer:

λ = 4.59 ×10⁻³ nm

Explanation:

Given data:

Energy of light = 4.33 ×10⁻¹⁴ J

Wavelength of light = ?

h = 6.626×10⁻³⁴ js

c = 3×10⁸ m/s

Solution:

Formula:

E = hc/λ

4.33 ×10⁻¹⁴ J = 6.626×10⁻³⁴ Js×  3×10⁸ m/s / λ

λ =  6.626×10⁻³⁴ Js×  3×10⁸ m/s  / 4.33 ×10⁻¹⁴ J

λ =  19.878 ×10⁻²⁶ Jm  / 4.33 ×10⁻¹⁴ J

λ =  4.59 ×10⁻¹² m

λ = 4.59 ×10⁻³ nm

Which element contains the largest number of neutrons per atom?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other.

Copper: (per atom)

Number of protons = 29

Number of electrons = 29

Number of neutrons = 35

Nickel: (per atom)

Number of protons = 28

Number of electrons = 28

Number of neutrons = 31

Iron: (per atom)

Number of protons = 26

Number of electrons = 26

Number of neutrons = 30

Manganese: (per atom)

Number of protons = 25

Number of electrons = 25

Number of neutrons = 30
