How do scientists use light-years?

Chemistry
1 answer:
sveticcg [70]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Scientists don't actually measure astronomical distances in light years. Rather, they measure them in a unit called the Parsec , and only convert to light years when they're talking to the general public . One light-year is the distance light travels through space in one year.

A sample of metal has a mass of 16.5916.59 g, and a volume of 5.815.81 mL. What is the density of this metal
Oxana [17]

Answer:

=> 2.8554 g/mL

Explanation:

To determine the formula to use in solving such a problem, you have to consider what you have been given.

We have;

mass (m)     = 16.59 g

Volume (v) =  5.81 mL

From our question, we are to determine the density (rho) of the rock.

The formula:

p = \frac{m}{v}

Substitute the values into the formula:

​p = \frac{16.59 g}{5.81 mL} \\   = 2.8554 g/mL

= 2.8554 g/mL

Therefore, the density (rho) of the rock is 2.8554 g/mL.

A binding protein binds to a ligand l with a kd of 400 nm what is the concentration of ligand when y is 0.25
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The answer is 7600 nm.

Explanation:

As, Y = 0.25 = [ L ÷ (400 + (L)]

0.95 x 400 + 0.25 [ L] = [ L ]

380.25  = [ L ] - 0.95 [ L ]

              = 0.05 [L]

[L] = 380 ÷ 0.05 = 7600nm

How many grams of CO₂ can be produced from the combustion of 2.76 moles of butane according to this equation: 2 C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂
Vilka [71]

Answer:

485.76 g of CO₂ can be made by this combustion

Explanation:

Combustion reaction:

2 C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂ (g) → 8 CO₂ (g) + 10 H₂O (g)

If we only have the amount of butane, we assume the oxygen is the excess reagent.

Ratio is 2:8. Let's make a rule of three:

2 moles of butane can produce 8 moles of dioxide

Therefore, 2.76 moles of butane must produce (2.76 . 8)/ 2 = 11.04 moles of CO₂

We convert the moles to mass → 11.04 mol . 44g / 1 mol = 485.76 g
