How are elliptical galaxies different from spiral galaxies?

Chemistry
1 answer:
mario62 [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A. They contain older stars and less gas and dust.

Explanation:

There are three types of galaxies:

  • elliptical galaxies
  • spiral galaxies
  • lenticular galaxies

Elliptical galaxies are galaxies shaped like an ellipse, while spiral galaxies consist of a flat, rotating disk that contains stars, gas, and dust, and a central concentration of stars called <em>the bulge.</em>

The difference between elliptical and spiral galaxies is in the amount of gas and dust they contain. Spiral galaxies contain large amounts of gas and dust, which means that new stars are born very often. This makes them brighter than relatively dim elliptical galaxies, which contain less gas and dust. This is why fewer new and brighter stars are born in elliptical galaxies, leaving them with older, dimmer stars.

4. A sample of nitrogen at 20 degrees Celsius was compressed to 300ml to
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

We are given:

V(i) = 0.3 L                          V(f) = 0.36 L

P(i) = x pa                            P(f) = 400 pa

T(i) = T(f) = 293 k

Using the gas formula:

PV = nRT

Since n , R and T are constant,

PV = k  (where k is a constant)

Hence we can say that:

P(i) * V(i) = P(f) * V(f)

x * 0.3 = 0.36 * 400

x = 14.4/0.3

x = 480 pascals

Hence the initial pressure is 480 pascals

Converting to Kpa, we have to divide by 1000

Initial pressure (Kpa) = 0.48

complete the word equations below to show how the metals are extracted from their oxides: 1) tin oxide + carbon ---&gt; ........
boyakko [2]

Answer:

1.) Tin oxide + Carbon → Tin + Carbon monoxide.

2.) Lead oxide + Carbon → Lead + Carbon monoxide.

These equations show that the metals are being extracted by their oxides by heating with carbon. This is because the metals (Tin and Lead) are less reactive than carbon. Remember, extraction methods of metals are determined by their reactivity. Since the elements tin and lead are less reactive than carbon, the extraction process of heating with carbon is needed.  Remember that when a metal heats with carbon, the carbon displaces the metal from the compound and removes the oxygen from the oxide. Leaving you with the metal and carbon monoxide.

10. (2 points) What is the process by which a solute forms a solution in a solvent. A) calisthenics B) bumping C) dissolution D)
Triss [41]

Answer: (C) Dissolution is the process by which a solute form a solution in a solvent.

Explanation: Dissolution can be described as the process by which a solute dissolves in a solvent to give a solvent.

The solute may be a solid, liquid or gas and solvent is usually a liquid but can also be liquid, gas or supercritical fluid. The most common solvent is water and it is referred to as the universal solvent.

Example are:

1.Stirring of sugar in water.

In this case the solute is the sugar and the solvent is water.

2.Organic substances dissolves readily in solvent like kerosene and benzene and they are known as non-polar solvent while the organic substances are the solute
