Answer:

90 N

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the charges

In this problem we have

q1 = q2 = 0.005 C

r = 50 m

So the electrostatic force is

$F=(9\cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2})\frac{(0.005 C)^2}{(50 m)^2}=90 N$

Calculate the amount of heat liberated (in kj) from 411 g of mercury when it cools from 88.0°c to 12.0°c.

Katen [24]

You should note that the melting point of mercury is -38.83°C, while the boiling point is at 356.7°C. Then, that means that there is no latent heat involved here. We only compute for the sensible heat.

ΔH = mCpΔT
The Cp of mercury is 0.14 J/g·°C
Thus,
ΔH = (411 g)(0.14 J/g·°C)(88 - 12°C)
ΔH = 4,373.04 J

Why does matter increase in volume when it heats up?

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:All three states of matter (solid, liquid and gas) expand when heated. ... Heat causes the molecules to move faster, (heat energy is converted to kinetic energy ) which means that the volume of a gas increases more than the volume of a solid or liquid.

Glycerin (C3H8O3) is a nonvolatile liquid. What is the vapor pressure of a solution made by adding 154 g of glycerin to 316 mL o

garri49 [273]

Answer:

$P_{sol}=50.4\ mm.Hg$

Explanation:

According to given:

molecular mass of glycerin, $M_g=3\times 12+8+3\times 16=92\ g.mol^{-1}$

molecular mass of water, $M_w=2+16=18\ g.mol^{-1}$

∵Density of water is $0.992\ g.cm^{-3}= 0.992\ g.mL^{-1}$

∴mass of water in 316 mL, $m_w=316\times 0.992=313.5 g$

mass of glycerin, $m_g=154\ g$

pressure of mixture, $P_x=55.32\ torr= 55.32\ mm.Hg$

temperature of mixture, $T_x=40^{\circ}C$

Upon the formation of solution the vapour pressure will be reduced since we have one component of solution as non-volatile.

moles of water in the given quantity:

$n_w=\frac{m_w}{M_w}$

$n_w=\frac{313.5}{18}$

$n_w=17.42 moles$

moles of glycerin in the given quantity:

$n_g=\frac{m_g}{M_g}$

$n_g=\frac{154}{92}$

$n_g=1.674 moles$

Now the mole fraction of water:

$X_w=\frac{n_w}{n_w+n_g}$

$X_w=\frac{17.42}{17.42+1.674}$

$X_w=0.912$

Since glycerin is non-volatile in nature so the vapor pressure of the resulting solution will be due to water only.

$\therefore P_{sol}=X_w\times P_x$

$\therefore P_{sol}=0.912\times 55.32$

$P_{sol}=50.4\ mm.Hg$

A hydrogen atom has a diameter of about 10 nm. Express this diameter in meters. Express this diameter in millimeters. Express th

Fynjy0 [20]

So, the first question is: how many meters are 10 nm?

1nm =0.000000001 m.

So 10 nanometers are 0.00000001 m!

Now, how many milimeter are those?
let's start with meters, 1 meter are 1000 milimeters.
so 
0.00000001*1000=0.00001 m!

now, micrometers .1 micrometer are 1000 nanometers.
so 10 nanometers are 0.01 micrometers! (1 nanometer is 0.001 micrometers)

Geologists use tools other than the law of superposition to help them with relative dating. Which statements describe those tool

White raven [17]

Answer: Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

Explanation:

The options include:

1. An unconformity is created when lava pours out on Earth’s surface.

2. Faults are the result of volcanic activity.

3. Intrusions and extrusions are sedimentary formations.

4. Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

5. When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

The law of superposition simply states that when there is a layers of rocks, we would see that the younger layers will lie and be on top of the layers that are older.

Other tools that can help scientist with relative dating are:

• Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

• When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.
