Answer:

240 seconds

Explanation:

Data Given:

Distance Radio travel to earth = 7.19 ×10⁷ km

Speed of this radio signal = 3.00 ×10⁸ m/s

Solution:

First convert Km to m

1 km = 1000 m

7.19 ×10⁷ km = 7.19 ×10⁷ x 1000 = 7.19 × 10¹⁰m

Formula used to calculate time

            Speed (S) = distance (d) / time (t)

rearrange above equation for time

            time (t) = distance (d) / Speed (S) . . . . . . . . .(1)

Put values in equation 1

            time (t) = 7.19 × 10¹⁰/ 3.00 ×10⁸ m/s

            time (t) = 240 s

So 240 seconds it take for the signal to reach the earth

Vesna [10]

Answer:

VH2SO4 = 145.3 mL

Explanation:

Mw BaO2 = 169.33 g/mol

⇒ mol BaO2 = 53.5g * ( mol BaO2 / 169.33 g BaO2) = 0.545 mol BaO2

⇒according to the reaction:

mol BaO2 = mol H2SO4 = 0.545 mol

⇒ V H2SO4 = 0.545 mol H2SO4 * ( L H2SO4 / 3.75 mol H2SO4 )

⇒V H2SO4 = 0.1453 L (145.3 mL)

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

boiling point decreases in denver

Explanation:

in higher places

theres less atmospheric pressure

it takes less energy to bring water to the boiling point.

Less energy means less heat

which means water will boil at a lower temperature
