Answer : The correct option is, (D) Velocity includes rate of change and direction.

Explanation :

Speed : Speed is defined as the distance traveled by an object with respect to the time taken. It is a scalar quantity that means it tell us about the magnitude of an object not direction.

Velocity : Velocity is defined as the rate of change of position of an object with respect to the time. It is a vector quantity that means it tell us about the magnitude and direction of an object.

The only difference between the speed and the velocity is that the velocity tell us about magnitude and direction but speed tell us about magnitude only.

Hence, the correct option is, (D) Velocity includes rate of change and direction.

The magnitude of a speed completely defines it whereas you also need to state a direction to specify a velocity.

The vapor pressure of ethanol at 293 K is 5.95 kPa and at 336.5 K it is 53.3 kPa. Calculate the enthalpy of vaporization of etha
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

H=41.3kJmol^{-1}

Explanation:

The equation relating the the enthalphy, pressure and temperature is expressed as

ln(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} )=\frac{H}{R}(\frac{1}{T_{1}}-\frac{1}{T_{2}} ) \\

Where P is the pressure, H is the enthalphy, and T is the temperature.

since the given values are

T_{1}=293k, \\T_{2}=336.5k\\P_{1}=5.95kPA\\p_{2}=53.3kPA\\and R=8.314J.K^{-1}mol_{-1}

if we insert values, we arrive at

ln(\frac{53.3}{5.95} )=\frac{H}{8.314}(\frac{1}{293}-\frac{1}{336.5} )\\2.19=\frac{H}{8.314}(0.00044)\\H=(2.19*8.314)/0.00044\\H=41,268.8Jmol^{-1}\\H=41.3kJmol^{-1}

A substance freezes at -58c therefore substance melts at ?
Yanka [14]
The freezing point is the same as the melting point.

If it freezes at -58°C, hence the melting point is also <span>-58°C.</span>

Superman can fly 600 miles in 2 in a half hours what is his speed
Digiron [165]

To solve for distance use the formula for distance d = st, or distance equals speed times time.

distance = speed x timeSpeed

so the answer is 240 miles per hour.
