one parsec equals 3.26 light years, where a light year is the distance light travels in one year. if the speed of light is 18600

0 mi/s, how many parsecs does it take for light to reach Mars from Earth, which is 60 million kilometers away? (1 km = 0.621 mi) Use "E" for scientific notation.

Parsec is a unit of distance (as stated 1 Parsec = 3.26 light years, wihch is 3.26 times the distance run by light in one year).

That distance is:

1 parsec = 3.26 mi× 186,000 mi/s × 3600 s/h × 24 h/day × 365 day/ year × 1 year = 19,122,168,960,000.mi.

So, the question of <span>how many parsecs it takes for light to reach Mars from Earth does not make sense because parsecs is not a unit of time.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>You can calculate how many parsecs is equivalent to the distance between Mars and Earth, 60,000,000 km. For this you can first calculate the  equivalence of which you do in this way:
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>60,000,000 km × 0,621 mi/km  × 1 parsec / ( 19,122,168,960,000 mi) = 1.94E-6 parsecs.

What would happen to a glass of water placed in a closet for a few days? Why do you think this would happen?

What happened to the mixture as it is poured into the strainer with cloth?​
zzz [600]

Answer:

The solid particles will be trapped behind on the strainer while the liquid molecules will pass or filter through.

Explanation:

Filtration is a process of separation of mixtures involving an insoluble solid and a fluid such as liquids or gases using a filtering medium such as paper or cloth or any other material. During the process, the liquid molecules pass through the filtering medium whereas the solid particles are not allowed to pass through but are retained by the medium. The reason is that the pores on the filtering medium are only small enough for the liquid molecules to pass through but not the solid particles.

An example of a mixture that can be separated through filtration is a suspension of chalk and water. Also, a mixture of water and solid particles such as water and tea leaves can also be separated using a strainer with cloth.

In the question, if a mixture of insoluble solids in a liquid is passed through a strainer with cloth, the solid particles will be trapped behind on the strainer while the liquid molecules will pass through.

I NEED HELP!!
solniwko [45]

Carboxylic acids and alcohols have higher boiling point than other hydrocarbons due to their polarity and from the fact that they form very strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding. This is due to the large difference in their electronegativity that forms between the oxygen and the hydrogen atom.
