The patch area in square kilometers is 1.59*10⁻⁹ km₂

Why?

This is an unit conversion problem. We have to convert from cm² to km². We can do that by knowing that there are 100 cm in 1 m, and 1000 m in 1 km, so 100000 cm=1km. Knowing that we can apply the following conversion factor:

$15.9 cm^{2} * (\frac{1 km}{100000 cm} )^{2}=0.00000000159 km^{2}$

Now to convert this value to scientific notation, we have to move the decimal point to the right until we get a whole number, and the exponent of the number 10 is going to be the number of spaces we moved to the right (negative), so the final answer is:

$0.00000000159 km^{2}=1.59*10^{-9} km^{2}$

Have a nice day!

There are a couple of ways in which you can express the concentration of a solution, and here they are: gram per liter (g/L), molarity (M), parts per million (ppm.), and percents (%).
As you can see, only M appears in your answers, which means that the correct option should be (2) 3.5 M.

Ideal He gas expanded at constant pressure of 3 atm until its volume was increased from 9 liters to 15 liters. During this proce

kkurt [141]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

P = 3 atm

= $3 atm \times \frac{1.01325 \times 10^{5} Pa}{1 atm}$

= $3.03975 \times 10^{5} Pa$

$V_{1}$ = 9 L = $9 \times 10^{-3} m^{3}$ (as 1 L = 0.001 $m^{3}$ ),

$V_{2}$ = 15 L = $15 \times 10^{-3} m^{3}$

Heat energy = 800 J

As relation between work, pressure and change in volume is as follows.

W = $P \times \Delta V$

or, W = $P \times (V_{2} - V_{1})$

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

W = $P \times (V_{2} - V_{1})$

= $3.03975 \times 10^{5} Pa \times (15 \times 10^{-3} m^{3} - 9 \times 10^{-3} m^{3})$

= 1823.85 Nm

or, = 1823.85 J

As internal energy of the gas $\Delta E$ is as follows.

$\Delta E$ = Q - W

= 800 J - 1823.85 J

= -1023.85 J

Thus, we can conclude that the internal energy change of the given gas is -1023.85 J.

30 its ASAP!!!! What is the volume, in liters, occupied by 0.485 moles of Oxygen gas at 23.0 oC and 0.980 atm?

USPshnik [31]

Use the universal gas formula

PV=nRT
where
P=pressure ( 0.980 atm)
V=volume (L)
T=temperature ( 23 ° C = 23+273.15 = 296.15 ° K)
n=number of moles of ideal gas (0.485 mol)
R=universal gas constant = 0.08205 L atm / (mol·K)

Substitute values,
Volume, V (in litres)
=nRT/P
=0.485*0.08205*296.15/0.980
= 12.0256 L
= 12.0 L (to three significant figures)
