Answer:

The candle will give out less light if there is a lower of oxygen. This happens because a high concentration of oxygen means that there are a of oxygen molecules near the wax. With a lot of molecules - it is likely that the molecules will bump into the wax.

How many atoms of Lead are in a 62.7 g sample of Lead(II) permanganate?

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

$\large \boxed {8.48 \times 10^{22}\text{ atoms}}$

Explanation:

1 mol of Pb(MnO₄)₂contains 1 mol of Pb atoms.

1. Moles of Pb

$\text{Moles of Pb} = \text{62.7 g Pb(MnO$_{4}$)}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Pb(MnO$_{4}$)}_{2}}{\text{445.07 g Pb(MnO$_{4}$)}_{2}}\\\\\times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Pb}}{\text{1 mol Pb(MnO$_{4}$)}_{2}} = \text{0.1409 mol Pb}$

2. Atoms of Pb

$\text{Atoms of Pb} = \text{0.1409 mol Pb } \times \dfrac{ 6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ atoms Pb }}{\text{1 mol Pb }}\\\\= \large \boxed {\mathbf{8.48 \times 10^{22}}\textbf{ atoms Pb }}$

In a recent Grand Prix, the winner completed the race with an average speed of 299.8 km/h. What was his speed in miles per hour,

scoundrel [369]

Answer :

(a) The speed is, 186.287 mi/hr

(b) The speed is, 83.277 m/s

(c) The speed is, 273.22 feet/s

Explanation :

(a) We are given the speed is, $299.8km/hr$

As we know that,

$1km=\frac{1}{1.60934}mi$

By using both the conversion, we get:

$299.8km/hr$

$\Rightarrow \frac{299.8km}{1hr}\times \frac{1mi}{1.60934km}$

$\Rightarrow 186.287mi/hr$

The speed is, 186.287 mi/hr

(b) We are given the speed is, $299.8km/hr$

As we know that,

$1km=1000m$

and,

$1hr=3600s$

By using both the conversion, we get:

$299.8km/hr$

$\Rightarrow \frac{299.8km}{1hr}\times \frac{1000m}{1km}\times \frac{1hr}{3600s}$

$\Rightarrow 83.277m/s$

The speed is, 83.277 m/s

(c) We are given the speed is, $299.8km/hr$

As we know that,

$1km=3280.84feet$

and,

$1hr=3600s$

By using both the conversion, we get:

$299.8km/hr$

$\Rightarrow \frac{299.8km}{1hr}\times \frac{3280.84feet}{1km}\times \frac{1hr}{3600s}$

$\Rightarrow 273.22feet/s$

The speed is, 273.22 feet/s

Which of the following is a correct statement about water?

BabaBlast [244]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Hydrogen bonding causes water to be strongly cohesive.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The strong hydrogen bonds give water a high cohesiveness and, consequently, surface tension.

Hydrogen bonding makes ice less dense than liquid water and since ice is less dense than water, it is able to float at the surface of water.
Water is considered the universal solvent due to its ability to dissolve or dissociate most compounds, a property that results from its polarity, where oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen.
