Explanation:

Silicon is an essential component of modern electronics because it is an element with very special properties. Namely, silicon in the pure form is a semiconductor, which means it possess properties of both a metal (which conducts electricity) and an insulator (which blocks electricity).

Explanation:

Silicon is used for electronic devices because it is an element with very special properties. One of it's most important properties is that it is a semiconductor. This means that it conducts electricity under some conditions and acts as an insulator under others. ... Silicon is also an abundant element on Earth

The edge of a flying disc with a radius of 0.13 m spins with a tangential speed of 3.3 m/s.

Aleks [24]

By definition, centripetal acceleration is given by:

$a = \frac{v ^ 2}{r}$

Where,

v: tangential disk speed

r: disk radius

Substituting values in the given equation we have:

$a =\frac{3.3^2}{0.13}\\a = 83.76923077$

Rounding the result we have:

$a = 83.8 \frac{m}{s^2}$

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration of the disc edge in m/s^2 is:

$a = 83.8 \frac{m}{s^2}$

Two molecules of lithium are combined with 225 grams of bromine to form two molecules of lithium bromide. If you end up with 690

4vir4ik [10]

The amount of Li present to start the reaction is 55.18g

<u>Explanation:</u>

2Li + Br₂ → 2LiBr

Molecular weight of Br₂ = 159.808 g/mol

Mass of Br₂ present = 225 g

Moles of Br₂ present during the reaction = 225 / 159.808

m = 1.4

Molecular weight of LiBr = 86.845 g/mol

Mass of LiBr formed = 690 g

moles of LiBr produced = 690 / 86.845

m(LiBr) = 7.95

According to the balanced equation, 2 molecules of Li reacts to for 2 molecule of LiBr

So, 7.95 moles of LiBr would require 7.95 moles of Li

The molecular weight of Li is 6.941 g/mol

Thus, the amount of lithium present to start the reaction is

$moles = \frac{given weight}{molecular weight} \\\\7.95 = \frac{w}{6.941} \\\\w = 55.18g$

Therefore, the amount of Li present to start the reaction is 55.18g

You walked a dog 0.75 miles. how many kilometers did you walk? (1 mile equals about 1.61 km)

Digiron [165]

What we have so far:
*Distance you walked the dog = 0.75 miles
*Conversion: 1 mile is approximately 1.61 kilometers

What we are trying to find:
*Distance you walked the dog in kilometers.

To solve this problem we must:
*We must employ conversion first.
Step 1) 0.75miles x 1.61km/1miles <--- Multiplication will be employed.

Step 2) 0.75 x 1.61/1 (km)<--- notice that we deleted the unit "miles". We did that to make sure that the result will be in kilometers (km).

Step 3) 0.75 x 1.61(km) <--- Since we are already done with the conversion process, we now have to multiply the distance and the conversion factor.

Step 4) 1.2075km <--- Raw result.

Step 5) Rounding it up to two decimal places: 1.21km

Therefore, the correct answer is: D. 1.21km

I need help asap. #3, 12points

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

-10C= Solid

10C= Liquid

50C= Liquid

90C= Liquid

110C= Gas

120C= Gas

Explanation:

Below 0 degree C (Celsius), water is frozen means it is in the form of ice. After 0 degree, once we keep it in room temperature, the ice starts becoming liquid (water), and once we heat water, after 100 degree C (Celsius) water starts boiling and thus starts entering gaseous state.
