Earth is approximately 1.5x10^8 km from the sun. The speed of light is 3.0x10^8. How many minutes does it take for light to reac

h earth from the sun?

1.5 x 10^{8} mm = 1500 x 10^{8} m

1500 x 10^{8} / ( 3.0 x 10^{8} ) = 500 s

500/60 = 8.3 

So approximately it takes 8.5 minutes 


Hope that helps, Good luck! (:<span />

C (graphite) is used as a lubricant, whereas C (diamond) is used as an abrasive. Why is this?
zysi [14]

Answer:

Carbon atoms in graphite and diamond are arranged in different ways. Hence, the two allotropes of carbon have different physical properties.

Explanation:

Both graphite and diamond are both made of only carbon atoms. However, their physical properties differ from each other. Hence, they are called allotropes. Think about how these carbon atoms are arranged in each of the allotropes.

<h3>Graphite</h3>

In graphite, each carbon atom is bonded to three other carbon atoms. These carbon atoms will be located in the same plane. A chunk of graphite can contain many of these planes.

Each carbon atom has four valence electrons. Three of these electrons will be used in the bonds. The other electron will be delocalized. These electrons would flow between the sheets of carbon atoms. That keeps the sheets separate and allow them to slide on top of each other.

<h3>Diamond</h3>

In diamond, each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms. These carbon atoms will form a tetrahedral network.  

In graphite, there's a significant separation between two adjacent sheets of carbon atoms. The force between the two sheets is rather weak. When a piece of graphite is between two objects that move over one another, the layers in the graphite would also slide over one another. Since the attraction between two adjacent sheets isn't very strong, there wouldn't be much resistance. Hence the graphite acts as a lubricant.  

In contrast, most of the carbon atoms in a piece of diamond would be connected to each other. Unlike the sheets in graphite, in a diamond there are almost no moving parts. Also, the forces between neighboring carbon atoms are very strong. When an external force acts on a chunk of diamond, the carbon atoms would barely move. Hence, the structure appears to be very rigid. That gives diamond its abrasive properties.

Calculate the moles and grams of solute in each solution. D. 2.0 L of 0.30M Na2SO4. I already have A, B, and C. Thanks!
e-lub [12.9K]
Find the number of moles
C = n / V
C(Concentration) = 0.30 moles / L
V ( Volume) = 2 L
n = ??
n = C * V
n = 0.30 mol / L * 2 L
n = 0.60 mol


Find the molar mass
2Na = 23 * 2 = 46 grams
1S   = 32 * 1 = 32 grams
O4   = 16 * 4 = 64 grams
Total =            142 grams / mol

Find the mass
n = given mass / molar mass
n = 0.06 mol
molar Mass = 142 grams / mol
given mass = ???

given mass = molar mass * mols
given mass = 142 * 0.6
given mass = 85.2 grams. 

85.2 are in a 2 L solution that has a concentration of 0.6 mol/L

When a mixture containing cations of Analytical Groups I–III is treated with H2S in acidic solution, which cations are expected
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Analytical Groups I and II

Explanation:

Precipitation reactions happen when anions and cations in aqueous solution mix together to form an insoluble ionic solid which is now referred to as a precipitate.

Whether or not a type of reaction like that takes place can be determined by utilizing the solubility principles for common ionic solids.
