Compare and contrast comets and meteors. What are the impacts each might have on Earth?

1 answer:

7 0

Comets are objects in the space that is composed mainly of dust and ice. While approaching the sun, a tail grows. Comets have nucleus which represents the hard rock object. As it nears the sun, it heats up the comet causing it to vaporize. Meteors, on the other hand, are what we call "shooting stars". They are interplanetary dusts that burn up as it approaches the Earth's atmosphere.

A sample of solid NH 4HS is placed in a closed vessel and allowed to equilibrate. Calculate the equilibrium partial pressure (at

UNO [17]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The equilibrium partial pressure (atm) of ammonia, assuming that some solid NH₄HS remains 0.26 atm.

Explanation:

To solve the question, we write out the chemical equation as follows

NH₄HS (s) ⇄ NH₃ (g) + H₂S (g)

From the above equation, it is observed that only the gaseous products contribute to the partial pressure

Kp =PNH₃·PH₂S where at Kp = 0.070 and PNH₃, PH₂S are the partial pressures of the gases

However since the number of moles of both gases are equal, therefore by Avogadro's law PNH₃ = PH₂S

Then PNH₃ = √(0.07) = PH₂S = 0.2645 atm. ≅ 0.26 atm.

Calculate the specific heat of a piece of wood if 2000 g of wood absorbs 75,250 J of heat, and its temperature changes from 30°C

inna [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity=quantity of heat in joule/mass×change in temperature

from this question the quantity of heat is 75250,the mass is 2000 and the change in temperature is 50-30

which is 20

therefore

c=75250/2000×20

c=75250/40000

c=1.88

I hope this helps

What are the three particles of an atom?

Dmitry [639]

The three particles found in an atom are the protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have negative charge. Lastly, neutrons have no net electrical charge. Protons and neutrons are much heavier than electrons and are located in the center of the atom.
