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.

If 45.0 mL of ethanol (density =0.789g/mol) initially at 6.0°C mix with 45.0 mL of water (density =1.0 g/mol) initially at 28.0°
Likurg_2 [28]

The final temperature of the mixture : 21.1° C  

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The law of conservation of energy can be applied to heat changes, i.e. the heat received / absorbed is the same as the heat released  

Q in(gained) = Q out(lost)  

Heat can be calculated using the formula:  

Q = mc∆T  

Q = heat, J  

m = mass, g  

c = specific heat, joules / g ° C  

∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K  

Q ethanol=Q water

mass ethanol=

\tt mass=\rho\times V\\\\mass=0.789\times 45=35.505~g

mass water =

\tt mass=1~g/ml\times 45~ml=45~g

then the heat transfer :

\tt 35.505\times 2.42~J/g^oC\times (t-6)=45\times 4.18~J/g^oC\times (28-t)\\\\85.922t-515.533=5266.8-188.1t\\\\274.022t=5782.33\rightarrow t=21.1^oC
