What kind of chemical bond is an insulator most likely to have? A. covalent bonds B. ionic bonds C. hydrogen bonds D. metallic b
mars1129 [50]

Answer is:  A. covalent bonds.

Insulator most likely has covalent bonds, because it must have low electrical conductivity.

1) Substances with covalent bond not conduct an electric current in liquid and solid state, because they not have free ions or electrons.  

2) Substances with ionic bond conduct an electric current in liquid, but not in solid state, because in liquids ions are mobile, contrary to solids where ions are fixed.

3) Substances with metallic bond conduct an electric current in liquid and solid state, because they have mobile electrons.

(4.1357 x 10^-15) x (5.4 x 10^2) Answer must be in scientific notation
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

22×10⁻¹³

Explanation:

Scientific notation:

Scientific notation is the way to express the large value in short form.

The number in scientific notation have two parts.

The digits (decimal point will place after first digit)

× 10 ( the power which put the decimal point where it should be)

for example the number 6324.4 in scientific notation will be written as = 6.3244 × 10³

When we multiply or divide the values the number of significant figures must be equal to the less number of significant figures in given value.  Thus, in given value,

(4.1357× 10⁻¹⁵) × (5.4×10²)

22×10⁻¹³

Why wouldn't the concorde travel lower
Alika [10]

Supersonic flight over land is typically forbidden to minimize disruption to people on the ground. This meant that until it was over open water, Concorde could not operate at its maximum Mach 2 capability.

<h3>What is Concorde?</h3>
  • The Concorde is a tailless aircraft with a drooping nose, an oval delta wing, and a narrow fuselage that allows for seating for 92 to 128 passengers.
  • It's improbable that Concorde will ever fly for an airline again in a commercial capacity. The economics of reactivating Concorde and incorporating it into the fleet of a contemporary airline would be challenging to justify, even if the technical and regulatory concerns could be handled.
  • Supersonic flight over land is usually not allowed to minimize the impact on people on the ground. This meant that Concorde could not operate at its maximum Mach 2 speed until it was over an open body of water.

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer: When using 645 L /s  of O2 in a temperature and pressure of  195°C,  0.88 atm  respectively, we will get 0.355Kg /s NO

Explanation:

  • First we review the equation that represents the oxidation process of the NH3 to NO.

4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) ⟶4 NO(g) +6 H2O(l)  

  • Second we gather the information what we are going to use in our calculations.

O2 Volume Rate = 645 L /s

Pressure = 0.88 atm

Temperature = 195°C + 273 = 468K

NO molecular weight = 30.01 g/mol  

  • Third, in order to calculate the amount of  NO moles produced by 645L/ s of O2, we must find out, how many moles (n) are 645L O2 by using the general gas equation PV =n RT

Let´s keep in mind that using this equation our constant R is 0.08205Lxatm/Kxmol

PV =n RT

n= PV / RT

n= [ 0.88atm x 645L/s] / [ (0.08205 Lxatm/Kxmol) x 468K]

n= 14.781 moles /s of O2

  • Fourth, now by knowing the amount of moles of O2, we can use the equation to calculate how many moles of NO will be produced and then with the molecular weight, we will finally know the total mass per second .

14.781 moles /s of O2 x 4moles NO / 5 moles O2 x  30.01g NO / 1 mol NO x 1Kg NO /1000g NO = 0.355Kg /s NO
