When the surface of moon reflects light from the sun, it results in shining of moon and regardless the fact that sometimes moon seems to shine brightly, the moon reflects between 3 to 12 percent of the sunlight which hits it. The moon brightness depends upon the position of the moon in orbit around the planet from the earth.

Hence, the correct option is A that is the Moon reflects the light produced by the Sun.

How can equilibrium of a closed system chemical reaction be disturbed? Select all that apply.

charle [14.2K]

The correct answers are :

Changing the volume of the system.

Changing the temperature of the system.

Equilibrium will remain unaffected if the concentration of products and reactants are kept the same, and the temperature of the system is kept constant.

As the system is closed, we cannot add or remove products or reactants.

Change in temperature will shift the chemical equilibrium towards the reactant or product depending on whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic.

Also change in volume will shift the chemical equilibrium of a chemical reaction if the reactants or products or both are gases.

mezya [45]

Answer: Hydrogen molecules will have greatest average speed.

Explanation:

The formula for average speed is :

$\mu_{av}={\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M}}}$

R = gas constant

T = temperature

M = Molecular Mass

Now putting all the values:

$\frac{\nu_{H_2}}{\nu_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M_{H_2}}}/{\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M_{O_2}}}$

$\frac{\nu_{H_2}}{\nu_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{16}{2}}$

$\frac{\nu_{av}_{H_2}}{\nu_{av}_{O_2}}=8$

Thus average speed of hydrogen is 8 times the average speed of oxygen. Thus hydrogen molecules will have greatest average speed

The mass percent of carbon in a typical human is 18%, and the mass percent of 14C in natural carbon is 1.6 × 10-10%. Assuming a

Tema [17]

Answer:

4066 decay/s

Explanation:

Given that:-

The weight of the person is:- 190 lb

Also, 1 lb = 453.592 g

So, weight of the person = 86182.6 g

Also, given that carbon is 18% in the human body. So,

$\%\ Carbon=\frac{18}{100}\times 86182.6\ g=15512.868\ g$

Carbon-14 is $1.6\times 10^{-10}\ \%$ of the carbon in the body. So,

$\%\ Carbon-14=\frac{1.6\times 10^{-10}}{100}\times 15512.868\ g=2.48\times 10^{-8}\ g$

Also,

14 g of Carbon-14 contains $6.023\times 10^{23}$ atoms of carbon-14

So,

$2.48\times 10^{-8}\ g$ of Carbon-14 contains $\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}}{14}\times 2.48\times 10^{-8}$ atoms of carbon-14

Atoms of carbon-14 = $1.07\times 10^{15}$

Given that:

Half life = 5730 years

$t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}$

Where, k is rate constant

So,

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac{ln\ 2}{5730}\ years^{-1}$

The rate constant, k = 0.00012 years⁻¹

Also, 1 year = $3.154\times 10^7$ s

So, The rate constant, k = $\frac{0.00012}{3.154\times 10^7}$ s⁻¹ = $3.8\times 10^{-12}\ s^{-1}$

Thus, decay events per second = $K\times atoms decayed$ = $3.8\times 10^{-12}\times 1.07\times 10^{15}\ decay/s$ = 4066 decay/s
