The Average Speed of the orbiting space shuttle is

Chemistry
1 answer:
maxonik [38]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

It is given that, the Average Speed of the orbiting space shuttle is  17500 miles/hour.

We need to convert the speed in kilometers/ second

We know that,

1 mile = 1.609 km

or

1 km = 0.621 miles

1 hour = 3600 seconds

17500\ \dfrac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}=17500\ \dfrac{\text{miles}}{\text{h}}\times \dfrac{1\ h}{3600\ s}\\\\=17500\times \dfrac{\text{miles}}{3600\ s}

Now cancel the miles in numerator.

17500\times \dfrac{\text{miles}}{3600\ s}=17500\times \dfrac{\text{miles}}{3600\ s}\times \dfrac{1.609\ km}{1\ \text{miles}}\\\\=17500\times \dfrac{1.609}{3600}\ km/s\\\\=7.82\ km/s

So, 17500 miles/hour is equal to 7.82 km/s.

In the Energy and Specific Heat lab, what temperature should be recorded as the final temperature of the water when measuring th
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

B. The temperature of the water when the food sample has finished burning completely.

Explanation:

Heat or thermal energy is a form of energy that transfers from one object to another due to a temperature difference between the objects. The units for heat are joules or calories.

Calorimetry is the measurement of heat energy released or absorbed in a chemical  reaction. A calorimeter is used in calorimetry. The calorimeter operates on the Law of Conservation of Energy which states that energy is never created or destroyed but is transformed from one form to another or between objects.

In food calorimetry, the energy released when food is burned is measured by recording the rise in temperature of water in a calorimeter when a given mass of a food sample is burned completely.

Energy can be calculated using the formula: Q = mc ∆T

where Q = the energy in joules or calories, m = the mass in grams, c = specific heat and ∆T = the change in temperature (final temperature - initial temperature).

The temperature of the water when the food sample has finished burning completely is taken as the final temperature of the water. The sample is allowed to smolder for sometime before recording the final  water temperature. This is because the water temperature will continue to rise after the  flame has gone out.

A particular sample of air is 2.5% water vapor express the concentration of water vapor in parts per million
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

                     25000 ppm

Explanation:

<em>Parts Per Million </em>is defined as the number of parts of a solute per one million parts of a solution.

                  ppm  =  (Weight of Solute / Weight of Solution) × 10⁶   ---(1)

Let us suppose that the air (solution) weights 100 grams, then 2.5 % of water vapors will have following mass,

Mass of Vapors g / 100 g × 100  =  2.5

Or,

Mass of Vapors = 2.5 × 100 / 100

Mass of Vapors  =  2.5 g

Hence, mass of water vapors is 2.5 g.

Now, putting mass of water vapors and air in eq. 1,

                  ppm  =  (2.5 / 100) × 10⁶

                 ppm  =  25000

If you had 6H2 molecules and 4O2 molecules, how many H2O molecules could you produce?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

As , 2H2 + O2 = 2H2O

with 6 H2, 4O2 is excess.

H2O molecules formed = 6

A certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.02 × 1014 Hz. What is the energy of exactly one photon of this light?
ruslelena [56]
 <span>The energy (E) per photon is expressed by Planck's equation: E = hf, where f is 
the frequency and h is Planck's constant, experimentally determined to be 
6.625 * 10**-34 joule-seconds. So to find E, we multiply h by the frequency 
and obtain E = hf = (6.625 * 10**-34)(7.0 * 10**14) = 46.375 * 10**-20 joule 
or in standard notation, E = 4.6375 * 10**-19 joule per photon. 

Hope this answers your question.Sorry if I calculated wrong.</span>

Methanol, CH3OH, is the simplest of the alcohols. It is synthesized by the reaction of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Write chemi
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The limiting reactant is H₂

Explanation:

The reaction of hydrogen (H₂) and carbon monoxide (CO) to produce methanol (CH₃OH) is the following:

2H₂(g) + CO(g) → CH₃OH(g)

From the balanced chemical equation, we can see that 1 mol of CO reacts wIth 2 moles of H₂. So, the stoichiometric ratio is:

2 mol H₂/1 mol CO = 2.0

We have 500 mol of CO and 750 mol of H₂, so we calculate the ratio to establish a comparison:

750 mol H₂/500 mol CO = 1.5

Since 2.0 > 1.5, we have fewer moles of H₂ than are needed to completely react with 500 moles of CO. In fact, we need 1000 moles of H₂ and we have 750 moles. So, the limiting reactant is H₂.
