<u>Answer:</u> The speed of light in miles per minutes is 1.117\times 10^7miles/min

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given the speed of light is 6.706\times 10^8miles/hr and we need to convert it into miles/min. So, we use the converion factor:

1 hour = 60 minutes

Converting that quantity into miles/minutes, we get:

(\frac{6.706miles}{1hr})(\frac{1hr}{60min})=\frac{1.117\times 10^7miles}{min}

Hence, the speed of light in miles per minutes is 1.117\times 10^7miles/min

An aqueous solution of methylamine (ch3nh2) has a ph of 10.68. how many grams of methylamine are there in 100.0 ml of the soluti
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

3.4 mg of methylamine

Explanation:

To do this, we need to write the overall reaction of the methylamine in solution. This is because all aqueous solution has a pH, and this means that the solutions can be dissociated into it's respective ions. For the case of the methylamine:

CH₃NH₂ + H₂O <-------> CH₃NH₃⁺ + OH⁻     Kb = 3.7x10⁻⁴

Now, we want to know how many grams of methylamine we have in 100 mL of this solution. This is actually pretty easy to solve, we just need to write an ICE chart, and from there, calculate the initial concentration of the methylamine. Then, we can calculate the moles and finally the mass.

First, let's write the ICE chart.

       CH₃NH₂ + H₂O <-------> CH₃NH₃⁺ + OH⁻     Kb = 3.7x10⁻⁴

i)            x                                      0            0

e)          x - y                                  y            y

Now, let's write the expression for the Kb:

Kb = [CH₃NH₃⁺] [OH⁻] / [CH₃NH₂]

We can get the concentrations of the products, because we already know the value of the pH. from there, we calculate the value of pOH and then, the OH⁻:

The pOH:

pOH = 14 - pH

pOH = 14 - 10.68 =  3.32

The [OH⁻]:

[OH⁻] = 10^(-pOH)

[OH⁻] = 10^(-3.32) = 4.79x10⁻⁴ M

With this concentration, we replace it in the expression of Kb, and then, solve for the concentration of methylamine:

3.7*10⁻⁴ = (4.79*10⁻⁴)² / x - 4.79*10⁻⁴

3.7*10⁻⁴(x - 4.79*10⁻⁴) = 2.29*10⁻⁷

3.7*10⁻⁴x - 1.77*10⁻⁷ = 2.29*10⁻⁷

x = 2.29*10⁻⁷ + 1.77*10⁻⁷ / 3.7*10⁻⁴

x = [CH₃NH₂] = 1.097*10⁻³ M

With this concentration, we calculate the moles in 100 mL:

n = 1.097x10⁻³ * 0.100 = 1.097x10⁻⁴ moles

Finally to get the mass, we need to molar mass of methylamine which is 31.05 g/mol so the mass:

m = 1.097x10⁻⁴ * 31.05

<h2>m = 0.0034 g or 3.4 mg of Methylamine</h2>

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

             70.15 cm³

Solution:

Data Given;

                  Mass  =  55 g

                  Density  =  0.784 g.cm⁻³

Required:

                  Volume  =  ?

Formula Used:

                  Density  =  Mass ÷ Volume

Solving for Volume,

                  Volume  =  Mass ÷ Density

Putting values,

                  Volume  =  55 g ÷ 0.784 g.cm⁻³

                  Volume = 70.15 cm³

Gravitational potential energy is a function of the _____ and the ________ of an object.
babymother [125]

Answer:

B = mass, height

Gravitational potential energy is a function of the mass ans the height of an object.

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is

GPE = mgh

m = mass in kilogram

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height in meter above the ground

Formula:

GP.E = mgh

Consider the following example:

A crane lifts a 75kg mass a height of 8 m. Calculate the gravitational potential energy  gained by the mass:

Formula:

GP.E = mgh

Now we will put the values in formula.

g = 9.8 m/s²

GP.E = 75 Kg × 9.8 m/s²× 8 m

GP.E = 5880 Kg.m²/s²

Kg.m²/s² = j

GP.E = 5880 j

What is the idea behid boyles law​
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Explanation:

For a fixed mass of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional. Or Boyle's law is a gas law, stating that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship. If volume increases, then pressure decreases and vice versa, when the temperature is held constant.
