what are the moon phases. but be more detailed and don't put in "the phases of the moon" in your own words.

1 answer:

7 0

As the moon orbits or circles the Earth, the phase changes. We'll start with what is called the New Moon phase. This is where we can't see any of the lit up side of the moon. The moon is between us and the sun (see the picture). As the moon orbits the Earth we can see more and more of the lit up side until finally the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun and we get a full moon. As the moon continues to orbit the Earth we now see less and less of the lit up side. The phases of the moon starting with the New Moon are: New Moon Waxing Crescent First Quarter Waxing Gibbous Full Waning Gibbous Third Quarter Waning Crescent Dark Moon.

At standard temperature and pressure, what volume does 0.5 mol of CO2 occupyAt standard temperature and pressure, what volume do

Zigmanuir [339]

<span>C. 11.2 L There are several different ways to solve this problem. You can look up the density of CO2 at STP and work from there with the molar mass of CO2, but the easiest is to assume that CO2 is an ideal gas and use the ideal gas properties. The key property is that a mole of an idea gas occupies 22.413962 liters. And since you have 0.5 moles, the gas you have will occupy half the volume which is 22.413962 * 0.5 = 11.20698 liters. And of the available choices, option "C. 11.2 L" is the closest match. Note: The figure of 22.413962 l/mole is using the pre 1982 definition of STP which is a temperature of 273.15 K and a pressure of 1 atmosphere (1.01325 x 10^5 pascals). Since 1982, the definition of STP has changed to a temperature of 273.15 K and a pressure of exactly 10^5 pascals. Because of this lower pressure, one mole of an ideal gas will have the higher volume of 22.710947 liters instead of the older value of 22.413962 liters.</span>

Calculate the volume of hydrogen if you have 12.1 moles of Hydrogen.

vodomira [7]

To Find :

The volume of 12.1 moles hydrogen at STP.

Solution :

We know at STP, 1 mole of gas any gas occupy a volume of 22.4 L.

Let, volume of 12.1 moles of hydrogen is x.

So, x = 22.4 × 12.1 L

x = 271.04 L

Therefore, the volume of hydrogen gas at STP is 271.04 L.

Which isotope will spontaneously decay and emit particles with a charge of +2?

VikaD [51]

Answer: The correct option is 4.

Explanation: All the options will undergo some type of radioactive decay processes. There are 3 decay processes:

1) Alpha decay: It is a decay process in which alpha particle is released which has has a mass number of 4 and a charge of +2.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\alpha$

2) Beta-minus decay: It is a decay in which a beta particle is released. The beta particle released has a mass number of 0 and a charge of (-1).

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta$
