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.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

2Cu2S + 3O2 + 2C -------> 4Cu + 2SO2 + 2CO

Explanation:

Equation 1 should correctly be written as;

2Cu2S + 3O2-----> 2Cu2O + 2SO2

Equation 2 should be correctly written as;

2Cu2O + 2C -----> 4Cu + 2CO

The overall reaction equation is;

2Cu2S + 3O2 + 2C -------> 4Cu + 2SO2 + 2CO

Note that species that are intermediates are cancelled out .

Metals react with oxygen to give oxides with the general formula MxOy. What is a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of
katovenus [111]

Answer: 4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

Here iron is having an oxidation state of +3 called as Fe^{3+} cation and oxide O^{2-} is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral Fe_2O_3.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

2Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

How many grams of MgCl2 (molar mass = 95.20 g/mol) will be formed from 25.6 mL of a 0.100 M HCL solution reacting with excess ma
lorasvet [3.4K]
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
Mg + 2HCl ---> MgCl₂ + H₂
stoichiometry of HCl to MgCl₂ is 2:1
we have been told that Mg is in excess therefore HCl is the limiting reactant 
number of HCl moles reacted - 0.100 mol/L x 0.0256 L = 0.00256 mol
according to molar ratio, number of MgCl₂ moles formed - 0.00256/2 
Therefore number of MgCl₂ moles formed - 0.00128 mol
mass of MgCl formed - 0.00128 mol x 95.20 g/mol = 0.122 g
