A small hole in the wing of a space shuttle requires a 15.9 cm2 patch.
1 answer:
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:
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:
Have a nice day!

Answer:
Described by a redox reaction below
Explanation:
Iron(III) oxide is an ionic compound, since it consists of a metal, iron, and a nonmetal, oxygen.
Ionic compounds are formed when metals lose their valence electrons in order to have an octet in their previous shell and donate them to nonmetal atoms, so that nonmetals fill their outer shell to have an octet.
As a result, positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions) are formed. When iron reacts with oxygen, the following reaction takes place:
This is a redox (oxidation–reduction) reaction, since we have electron loss and gain. Four iron atoms lose a total of 12 electrons to obtain a +3 charge in the final compound, while 3 oxygen molecules gain these 12 electrons to become 6 oxide anions with a -2 charge.
Answer:-
Water is highly ordered. In water each oxygen atom is connected to others around it through hydrogen bonding via bridging hydrogen atoms. When a salt like NaCl is dissolved, some of these Hydrogen bonds break.
When a salt like NaCl dissolves in water, the NaCl breaks in to ions Na+ and Cl-.
The water molecules now surround these ions.
The slightly negative oxygen end of water molecule gets near the Na+, while the slightly positive Hydrogen of water molecule gets near the Cl-.
So before salt sample dissolve, the water molecules were highly ordered due to hydrogen bonding. Now after salt dissolve there is a decrease in order and thus an increase in disorder of the water molecules.
Due to increase in disorder, entropy which is a measure of disorder increases. Since entropy increases, delta S for the process is positive.
