<u>Answer:</u> The value of a is 2.955 and value of b is 8.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Scientific notation is defined as the notation in which a number is expressed in the decimal form. This means that the number is always written in the power of 10 form. The numerical digit lies between 0.1.... to 9.9.....

If the decimal is shifting to right side, the power of 10 is negative and if the decimal is shifting to left side, the power of 10 is positive.

We are given:

Speed of light in vacuum = 299,500,000 m/s

Converting this into scientific notation, we get:

\Rightarrow 295,500,000=2.955\times 10^{8}m/s

As, the decimal point is shifting to left side, thus the power of 10 is positive.

Comparing the calculated value to the given number, which is:

Number = a\times 10^b

Hence, the value of a is 2.955 and value of b is 8.

Pls help me will mark brainliest, chemistry equilibrium!!!
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

See attached => LeChatelier's Principle

Explanation:

LeChatelier's Principle => If a stress is applied to a chemical reaction, the reaction chemistry will shift away from the applied stress and establish a new equilibrium having new concentration values different from the original concentration values.

There are three (3) principle stress factors that will cause disturb a chemical reaction and cause it to shift to establish a new equilibrium. These are ...

=> concentration effects,

=> temperature effects, and

=> pressure-volume effects.

The attached notes explain in general terms how to evaluate a chemical reaction under an applied stress factor and determine direction of shift to establish a new equilibrium stability. Compare and apply to the worksheet problems.

_______

Answers to worksheet (compare to attached notes)

1a. => increasing wt to product side => tilts right => shifts left

1b. => removing wt from reactant side => tilts right => shifts left,

1c. => increasing wt to product side => tilts right => shifts left

2a. => tilts left (excess wt from Hg), shifts right,

2b. => Increase pressure shifts toward lower molar gas volume side (right) Note: apply only to gas phase substances, Hg is in liquid phase.

3a. exothermic rxn => cooling => tilts left, rxn shifts right

3b. endothermic rxn => cooling => tilts right, rxn shifts left

3c. exothermic rxn => cooling => tilts left, rxn shifts right

_____________

don't forget => brainliest :-)

What was the significance of Thompson’s Plum Pudding model of the atom?
Pani-rosa [81]

The Plum Pudding Model is a model of atomic structure proposed by J.J. Thomson in the late 19th century. Thomson had discovered that atoms are composite objects, made of pieces with positive and negative charge, and that the negatively charged electrons within the atom were very small compared to the entire atom.

Given the following Fischer projection: Fischer projection for an entantiomer of 2-bromo-2,3-dihydroxypropanal with the bromine
harina [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Stereoisomers are two or more atoms that  have the same bonding order of atoms but there is a difference  spatial arrangement of  the  atoms in space.

A plane of symmetry divides a molecule into two equal halves.

A chiral stereoisomer are not superimposed on a mirror image , Hence they do not posses a plane of symmetry.

As a result to that. these non-superimposable mirror images are said to be Enantiomers.

However, a Fischer Projection emanates from a two - dimensional figure which is used for presenting a three - dimensional organic molecules.

From the given question;

Fischer projection for an enantiomer of 2-bromo-2,3-dihydroxypropanal with the bromine oriented horizontally to the left and the hydroxide group oriented horizontally to the right.

we can sketch the way the enantiomer of 2-bromo-2,3-dihydroxypropanal can  be seen like the one shown below:

              CH₂OH

                   |

                   |

                   |

Br -------------|----------------OH

                   |

                   |

                   |

                 CHO

The objective of this question is to drawn the perspective formula of the molecule.

So , from the attached file below; we can see the perspective formula of the molecule in a well structured 3-D format.

The total number of sodium atoms in 46.0 grams of solution is?
USPshnik [31]
Molar mass Na = 23g/mol
46g = 456/2 = 2mol
1mol = 6.022*10^23 atoms
2mol = 2*6.022*10623
= 1.204*10^24 atoms
