Which scientist explained why binary stars change colors

Chemistry

1 answer:

Vinvika [58]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

This is because of scintillation ("Twinkling") as the light passes through the atmosphere of the Earth. As the air moves in and out, the starlight is refracted, often different colors in different directions. Because of this "chromatic abberation," stars can appear to change colors when they are twinkling strongly.

Kidney stones are caused by the precipitation of either calcium oxalate, Ca(C2O4), or calcium phosphate, Ca3(PO4)2, in the kidne

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

1.1 × 10⁻⁶ M

Explanation:

Step 1: Given and required data

Concentration of Ca²⁺ ([Ca²⁺]): 2.5 mM = 2.5 × 10⁻³ M

Calcium oxalate solubility product constant (Ksp): 2.7 × 10⁻⁹

Step 2: Write the balanced equation for the solution reaction of calcium oxalate

CaC₂O₄(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + C₂O₄²⁻(aq)

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of the oxalate ion to begin the precipitation of calcium oxalate

We will use the Ksp of calcium oxalate.

Ksp = 2.7 × 10⁻⁹ = [Ca²⁺].[C₂O₄²⁻]

[C₂O₄²⁻] = Ksp / [Ca²⁺]

[C₂O₄²⁻] = 2.7 × 10⁻⁹ / 2.5 × 10⁻³

[C₂O₄²⁻] = 1.1 × 10⁻⁶ M

Which of the following solutions contains the largest number of moles of dissolved particles? a.) 25 ml of sodium chloride b.) 2

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

b.) 25 ml of aluminum hydroxide

Explanation:

For this question, we have to assume that we have the same concentration for all the solutions, for example, 1 M. Additionally, we have to take into account the ionization reaction for each species:

a) $NaCl~->~Na^+~+~Cl^-$ we have to ions

b) $Al(OH)_3~->~Al^+^3~+~3OH^-$ we have fourth ions

c) $CH_3COOH~->~CH_3COO^-~+~H^+$ we have two ions

d) $C_6H_1_2O_6~->~C_6H_1_2O_6$ we have one ion

If we have the same volume and the same concentration the variables that will help us to answer the question would be the number of ions. If we have more ions we will have more particles dissolved. Therefore the answer would be b) (due to the fourth ions).

I hope it helps

Convert a speed of 141 mi/h to units of feet per minute show work.

ozzi

Answer:

12408 feet per minute

Explanation:

Given: Speed is 141 mi/h

To find: speed in units of feet per minute

Solution:

Use the following units to convert the given speed into feet per minute.

1 mile = 5280 foot

1 h = 60 minutes

Therefore,

141 mi/h $=\frac{141(5280)}{60} =12408$ feet per minute.

Describe the relationship between the mole and molar mass. Be prepared to describe the process for converting between moles and

malfutka [58]

Answer:

The molar mass of any substance is the mass in grams of one mole of representative particles of that substance. ... In such a conversion, we use the molar mass of a substance as a conversion factor to convert mole units into mass units (or, conversely, mass units into mole units).
