What is specific gravity?

Physics
1 answer:
Dovator [93]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Specific gravity, also called relative density, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume

Explanation: Hope this helps also looking these questions up could help :)

A nuclear fission power plant has an actual efficiency of 32%. If 0.18 MW of power are produced by the nuclear fission, how much
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

 P₀ = 5.76 x 10⁻² MW

Explanation:

given,

efficiency of the power plant = 32%

Power produced by the nuclear fission = 0.18 MW

the power plant output = ?

using formula of efficiency

\eta = \dfrac{P_0}{P}

where P is the power produced in the power plant

          P₀ is the power output of the power plant

\eta = \dfrac{P_0}{P}

0.32 = \dfrac{P_0}{0.18}

 P₀ = 0.18 x 0.32

 P₀ =  0.0576 MW

 P₀ = 5.76 x 10⁻² MW

Power plant output is equal to  P₀ = 5.76 x 10⁻² MW

Explain why nuclear fusion takes place only in the center of stars
iVinArrow [24]
 <span>A star is born when atoms of light elements are squeezed under enough pressure for their nuclei to undergo fusion. All stars are the result of a balance of forces: the force of gravity compresses atoms in interstellar gas until the fusion reactions begin. And once the fusion reactions begin, they exert an outward pressure. As long as the inward force of gravity and the outward force generated by the fusion reactions are equal, the star remains stable. Clouds of gas are common in our galaxy and in other galaxies like ours. These clouds are called nebulae. A typical nebula is many light-years across and contains enough mass to make several thousand stars the size of our sun. The majority of the gas in nebulae consists of molecules of hydrogen and helium--but most nebulae also contain atoms of other elements, as well as some surprisingly complex organic molecules. These heavier atoms are remnants of older stars, which have exploded in an event we call a supernova. The source of the organic molecules is still a mystery. 

STAR BIRTHS are started when the interstellar matter in gas clouds, such as the Eagle Nebula shown here, compresses and fuses. Irregularities in the density of the gas causes a net gravitational force that pulls the gas molecules closer together. Some astronomers think that a gravitational or magnetic disturbance causes the nebula to collapse. As the gases collect, they lose potential energy, which results in an increase in temperature. As the collapse continues, the temperature increases. The collapsing cloud separates into many smaller clouds, each of which may eventually become a star. The core of the cloud collapses faster than the outer parts, and the cloud begins to rotate faster and faster to conserve angular momentum. When the core reaches a temperature of about 2,000 degrees Kelvin, the molecules of hydrogen gas break apart into hydrogen atoms. Eventually the core reaches a temperature of 10,000 degrees Kelvin, and it begins to look like a star when fusion reactions begin. When it has collapsed to about 30 times the size of our sun, it becomes a protostar. When the pressure and temperature in the core become great enough to sustain nuclear fusion, the outward pressure acts against the gravitational force. At this stage the core is about the size of our sun. The remaining dust envelope surrounding the star heats up and glows brightly in the infrared part of the spectrum. At this point the visible light from the new star cannot penetrate the envelope. Eventually, radiation pressure from the star blows away the envelope and the new star begins its evolution. The properties and lifetime of the new star depend on the amount of gas that remains trapped. A star like our sun has a lifetime of about 10 billion years and is just middle-aged, with another five billion years or so left.</span>

Find a) molar fraction, b) concentration in mol / and c) concentration in mol / kg of an aqueous solution with 25% alcohol: the
igor_vitrenko [27]

Explanation:

Answer

( 58.3 mL ) (

0.789 g

1 mL

) (

1 mole

46 g

) = 1 mole C2H5OH

( 500 mL H2O ) (

1 g

1 mL

) (

1 mole

18 g

) = 27.8 mole H2O

The total moles = 1 mole C2H5OH + 27.8 mole H2O = 28.8 moles

The mole fraction =

moles C2H5OH

total moles

=

1 mole C2H5OH

28.8 total moles

= 0.035

The mole percent would be 3.5%.

What is the weight fraction?

Answer

( 58.3 mL ) (

0.789 g

1 mL

) = 46 g C2H5OH

( 500 mL H2O ) (

1 g

1 mL

) = 500 g H2O

The total mass = 46 g C2H5OH + 500 g H2O = 546 g

The mass fraction =

mass C2H5OH

total mass

=

46 g C2H5OH

546 total grams

= 0.084

The mass percent would be 8.4%.

What is the molarity?

Answer

The molarity =

moles C2H5OH

L of solution

=

1 mole C2H5OH

.5583 L

= 1.79 M

What is the molality?

Answer

The molality =

moles C2H5OH

kg of solvent

=

1 mole C2H5OH

0.5 kg H2O

= 2

An electron microscope is usually used for microorganisms that are _____. too small to be seen with the unaided eye too small to
GaryK [48]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>too small to be seen with an optical microscope </em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>An electron microscope is a type of microscope that is used to observe very tiny specimens whose features can not be observed by other types of microscopes.</u></em> It uses a beam of electrons to generate an image of a given specimen whose features can be clearly observed and studied.
  • <em><u>Electron microscope has very high resolution and magnification as compared to other optical microscope </u></em>hence can be observed in the study of micro-organisms such as viruses which would be difficult to study their features using optical microscopes.
