The length of daylight on the moon is about 29.5 days.

From the earliest days, the Moon has been there in the Solar System and there has never been a period when we couldn't gaze upward in the night sky and either observe the Moon hanging there, or realize that it would be back the precise one night from now (i.e. a New Moon).

A day on the Moon keeps going as long as 29.5 Earth days. We can say that it would take 29.5 days for the Sun to move the distance over the sky and come back to its unique position once more.

Why is magnesium the limiting reactant in this experiment

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnesium is being oxidized by the oxygen in the air to magnesium oxide. This is a highly exothermic combustion reaction, giving off intense heat and light. The reaction of the combustion of magnesium in oxygen is given below:

2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s)

The stoichiometric factor is 2 moles of magnesium are burned for every 1 mole of oxygen (2mol Mg/1mol O2). If the magnesium strip weighs 1 gram, then there is 0.04 mol of magnesium (1 gram divided by 24.3 grams/mol Mg) available in the reaction. The amount of oxygen required to completely react with the magnesium strip is:

0.04 mol Mg x (1 mol O2 / 2 mol Mg) = 0.02 mol O2 x 16 g/mol O2 = 0.32 gram O2.

The magnesium will burn until consumed entirely. There is much more oxygen available in the atmosphere than needed to consume the magnesium. Thus the magnesium is the limiting reactant because it determines the amount of product formed.

Suppose there was a star with a parallax angle of 1 arcsecond. How far away would it be?

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer: 3.26 light years

Explanation:

Each star has a parallax of one arcsecond at a distance of one parsec, which is equivalent to 3.26 light years.

so the parallax of 1 arcsecond will be at a distance of 1/1 × 3.26 light years

When measuring the diameter of a cylinder the following measurements are obtained.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

a. 1.80 %

b. 0.60 %

c. 1.20 %

d. 0.60 %

e. 0.60 %

Explanation:

In order to calculate percent uncertainties in each case, we forst need to calculate the average value:

Average Diameter = (16.4 mm + 16.8 mm + 16.9 mm + 16.6 mm +16.8 mm)/5

Average Diameter = 16.7 mm

Now, the formula for percent uncertainty is:

% Uncertainty = (Uncertainty/Average) * 100 %

where,

Uncertainty = |Value - Average|

For Each Case:

a. 16.4 mm:

Uncertainty = |16.4 mm - 16.7 mm| = 0.3 mm

Therefore,

% Uncertainty = (0.3 mm/16.7 mm) * 100%

% Uncertainty = 1.80 %

b. 16.8 mm:

Uncertainty = |16.8 mm - 16.7 mm| = 0.1 mm

Therefore,

% Uncertainty = (0.1 mm/16.7 mm) * 100%

% Uncertainty = 0.60 %

c. 16.4 mm:

Uncertainty = |16.9 mm - 16.7 mm| = 0.2 mm

Therefore,

% Uncertainty = (0.2 mm/16.7 mm) * 100%

% Uncertainty = 1.20 %

d. 16.6 mm:

Uncertainty = |16.6 mm - 16.7 mm| = 0.1 mm

Therefore,

% Uncertainty = (0.1 mm/16.7 mm) * 100%

% Uncertainty = 0.60 %

e. 16.8 mm:

Uncertainty = |16.8 mm - 16.7 mm| = 0.3 mm

Therefore,

% Uncertainty = (0.1 mm/16.7 mm) * 100%

% Uncertainty = 0.60 %
