Answer:

  • <u><em>Tau Ceti, 11.9 light years from the Sun</em></u>

Explanation:

The table is:

<em>Star                           Light Years from the Sun</em>

<em>Chara                        27.3 light years</em>

<em>Tau Ceti                    11.9 light years</em>

<em>Zeta Leporis            70.2 light years</em>

<em>Epsilon Reticuli        59.5 light years</em>

<em>Light years</em> is a unit of distance. It is the distance that the light travels in one year.

Since the speed of light is a constant, c ≈ 300,000,000 m/s, one light year is equal to the product of c by the number of seconds in a year (about 31,540,000‬ seconds).

Thus, the smaller the number of light years a star is from the Sun the closer the distance between the star and the Sun.

Rank the distances in increasing order:

  •  11.9 light years < 27.3 light years < 59.5 light years < 70.2 light years

Then, Tau Ceti, with 11.9 light years is the closest to the Sun.

1. (8pt) Using dimensional analysis convert 600.0 calories into kilojoules
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

1. 2.510kJ  

2. Q = 1.5 kJ

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information for this calorimetry problem, we can proceed as follows:

1. Here, we consider the following equivalence statement for converting from calories to joules and from joules to kilojoules:

1cal=4.184J\\\\1kJ=1000J

Then, we perform the conversion as follows:

600.0cal*\frac{4.184J}{1cal}*\frac{1kJ}{1000J}=2.510kJ

2. Here, we use the general heat equation:

Q=mC(T_2-T_1)

And we plug in the given mass, specific heat and initial and final temperature to obtain:

Q=236g*0.24\frac{J}{g\°C} (34.9\°C-8.5\°C)\\\\Q=1495.3J*\frac{1kJ}{1000J} \\\\Q=1.5kJ

Regards!

A piston chamber filled with ideal gas is kept in a constant-temperature bath at 25.0°C. The piston expands from 25.0 mL to 75.0
larisa [96]

Answer : The work done by the system is, 2.2722 J

Explanation :

The expression used for work done in reversible isothermal expansion will be,

w=nRT\ln (\frac{V_2}{V_1})

where,

w = work done = ?

n = number of moles of gas  = 0.00100 mole

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole K

T = temperature of gas  = 25^oC=273+25=298K

V_1 = initial volume of gas  = 25 mL

V_2 = final volume of gas  = 75 mL

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

w=0.00100mole\times 8.314J/moleK\times 298K\times \ln (\frac{75}{25})

w=2.722J

Therefore, the work done by the system is, 2.2722 J

What is the pressure inside a 750 mL can of deodorant that starts at 15 degrees Celsius and 1.0 atm if the temperature is raised
Sonbull [250]

The answer is: the pressure inside a can of deodorant is 1.28 atm.

Gay-Lussac's Law: the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

p₁/T₁ = p₂/T₂.  

p₁ = 1.0 atm.; initial pressure

T₁ = 15°C = 288.15 K; initial temperature.

T₂ = 95°C = 368.15 K, final temperature

p₂ = ?; final presure.

1.0 atm/288.15 K = p₂/368.15 K.  

1.0 atm · 368.15 K = 288.15 K · p₂.  

p₂ = 368.15 atm·K ÷ 288.15 K.  

p₂ = 1.28 atm.  

As the temperature goes up, the pressure also goes up and vice-versa.

How to round significant figures
marissa [1.9K]

Explanation:

To round to a significant figure:

  1. look at the first non-zero digit if rounding to one significant figure
  2. look at the digit after the first non-zero digit if rounding to two significant figures
  3. draw a vertical line after the place value digit that is required
  4. look at the next digit
  5. if it's 5 or more, increase the previous digit by one
  6. if it's 4 or less, keep the previous digit the same
  7. fill any spaces to the right of the line with zeros, stopping at the decimal point if there is one
