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.

Distinguish and give example for homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture​
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Through combining two or more substances, a mixture is produced. A homogeneous solution tends to be identical, no matter how you sample it. Homogeneous mixtures are sources of water, saline solution, some alloys, and bitumen. Sand, oil and water, and chicken noodle soup are examples of heterogeneous mixtures.

How many grams of glucose are needed to prepare 400. ml of a 2.0%(m/v) glucose solution?
tatuchka [14]
8 grams

A <span>2.0%m/v</span> (mass/volume) solution is 2 grams of solute in 100 mL of final solution.

So for 400 mL of solution, you require
