You are on an alien planet where the names for substances and the units of measures are very unfamiliar. Nonetheless, you obtain

9 quibs of substance called skvarnick. You can trade this skvarnick for gold coins, but the vendors all measure skvarnick in units of sleps; not quibs. 12 sleps is equal to 9 quibs. If you have 9 quibs of skvarnick, how many sleps do you have? Round your answer to the nearest tenth (one decimal place). Type only the number; not the number and unit.

Answer: 12


Explanation.


This problem was recently posted and deals with the conversion of units,so I give the same answer.


You need to convert the 9 quibs of skvarnick to sleps, to determine how many sleps you have.


The conversion of units is easily undertaken once you build your conversion factors.


Conversion factors are ratios (fractions) equivalent to one, which permits use the identity property of the multiplication to change one unit to a different equivalent one.


Remember that the identity property of multiplication states that any amount multiplied by 1 remains unchanged, i.e.

               a.1=a

Then, build your conversion factor from the definitions given:

  •    12 sleps is equal to 9 quibs.
  •    12 sleps = 9 quibs
  •    in virtue of the division property of equality, you can divide both sides by 12 sleps and get:

                                       1 = 12 sleps /  9 quibs ← conversion factor

Now you can multiply the amount 9 quibs by the conversion factor, which is equal to 1, to find the equivalent amount of sleps:


  •    identity property: 9 quibs = 9 quibs × 1
  •    substitution property: 9 quibs = 9 quibs ×  12 sleps/  9 quibs

You can see that the unit quibs appear in the numerator and the denominator so it cancels out, and the result will be in sleps.


So, all you have to do now is the operations with the numbers:

       9 quibs = (9 ×  12 / 9) sleps = 12 sleps ← answer

Lynna [10]

Answer:

3.861x10⁻⁹ mol Pb⁺²

Explanation:

We can <u>define ppm as mg of Pb²⁺ per liter of water</u>.

We<u> calculate the mass of lead ion in 100 mL of water</u>:

  • 100.0 mL ⇒ 100.0 / 1000 = 0.100 L
  • 0.100 L * 0.0080 ppm = 8x10⁻⁴ mg Pb⁺²

Now we <u>convert mass of lead to moles</u>, using its molar mass:

  • 8x10⁻⁴ mg ⇒ 8x10⁻⁴ / 1000 = 8x10⁻⁷ g
  • 8x10⁻⁷ g Pb²⁺ ÷ 207.2 g/mol = 3.861x10⁻⁹ mol Pb⁺²

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Because if I said its 35 degrees outside that has nothing to do with climate maybe if I said its usually 35 degrees in the month of December but just saying what temperature it doesn't tell you anything about climate

Well, the definition of climate is the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period so I don't really know

So maybe it is d

I need help answering numbers 8-10
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

The correct answer:

8)- e)2, 2 dymetilpropane

9)-  b) 2-chloropropane

10)-  b) hydroxyl

See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

In the cases of exercises 8 and 9:

Correspond to alkanes, having 3 carbons are named with the prefix prop and suffix anus. In 8 it has 2, 2 methyl groups in carbon and 9 in a 2-carbon chlorine group.

In the case of 10, it corresponds to a 3-carbon alcohol: suffix prop, and prefix ol: 2- propanol; in group 2 it has an OH group corresponding to alcohol (hydroxyl).

Write the pressure equilibrium constant expression for this reaction. 2CO2 (g) + 4H2O (g) → 2CH3OH (l) + 3O2 (g)
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The pressure equilibrium constant (Kp) = (P O₂)³/(P CO₂)²(P H₂O)⁴.

Explanation:

  • For the reaction:

<em>2CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g) → 2CH₃OH (l) + 3O₂ (g).</em>

<em></em>

The pressure equilibrium constant (Kp) = the product of the pressure of the products side components / the product of the pressure of the reactantss side components.

each one is raised to a power equal to its coefficient.

<em>∴ The pressure equilibrium constant (Kp) = (P O₂)³/(P CO₂)²(P H₂O)⁴.</em>
