Answer:

Water is a polar molecule

Explanation:

The general solubility rule is that like dissolves like. In short, polar solutes would dissolve in polar solvents. Non polar solutes also dissolves on non polar solvents.

NaCl is an ionic molecule which forms as a result of transfer of electrons from one atom to another. The transfer of electrons makes the atoms oppositely a charged ions and they become polar.

Water is made up of Hydrogen H⁺ ions and hydroxy ions OH⁻. Water is an heteronuclear covalent molecule. Here, there is an unequal sharing of electrons as one atom pulls the shared electron more closer. This leaves a partial negative charge on the more electronegative atom and a partial positive charge on the other.

This polar nature of water NaCl makes dissolution easy.

Astronomers have no theoretical explanation for the ""hot Jupiters"" observed orbiting some other stars. (T/F)
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Astronomers have no theoretical explanation for the ""hot Jupiters"" observed orbiting some other stars.

False

Explanation:

The “hot Jupiters” joint word startes to be used to be able to describe planets like 51 Pegasi b, a planet with a 10-day-or-less orbit and a mass 25% or greater than Jupitere, circling a sun-like star planet in 1995, which was found by astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz, who were awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize for Physics along with the cosmologist James Peebles for their “contributions to our understanding of the evolution of the universe and Earth’s place in the cosmos.”

Now  we know a total of 4,000-plus exoplanets, but only a few more than 400 meet the definition of the enigmatic hot Jupiters which, tell us a lot about how planetary systems form, and what kinds of conditions cause extreme results.

In a 2018 paper in the Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, astronomers Rebekah Dawson of the Pennsylvania State University and John Asher Johnson of Harvard University reviewed on how hot Jupiters might have formed, and would be the meaning for the rest of the planets in the galaxy.

How many cubic feet are in a 55-gallon drum?
san4es73 [151]
1 gallon = 231 cubic inches
1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches

                       (55 gal) x (231 in³/gal) x (1 ft³/1728 in³)

                   =    (55 x 231 / 1728)  ft³

                   =         7.352 cubic feet       (rounded)
