Answer:

Earthquakes are measured using instruments called seismometers, that detect the vibrations caused by seismic waves as they travel through the crust. Also, laser beams can be used

You note that cells placed in a solution crenate. What could you definitively conclude about the solution?

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:it means the cell is an hypertonic or high concentration solution

Explanation: osmosis is defined as movement of water from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration of water.

Now being in a hypertonic solution means the sorrounding solution in a high concentration of the solute which means water is in low in concentration , so osmotic pressure move water from the cell (which has a relatively higher water concentration )to it's sorrounding which has a lower concentration of water, resulting in the shrinking or crenation of the cells.

Calculate the enthalpy change (in joules) involved in converting 5.00 grams of water at 14.0 °c to steam at 115 °c under a const

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Enthalpy change is the term given to the concentration of the heat absorbed or evolved in a reaction carried out at a constant pressure. It is given by the symbol ΔH.

Enthalpy change = m (Cwater × dT + Hvap + Csteam × dT

dHvap = 40.67 kJ/mol = 40.67 × 103/18 = 2259.4 J/g

Enthalpy change = 5.00 [4.18 × (100-14) + 2259.4 + 1.84 × (115-100)]

= 13232.4 J

A tank contains 200 gallons of water in which 300 grams of salt is dissolved. A brine solution containing 0.4 kilograms of salt

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

<h3>Therefore, after long period of time 80kg of salt will remain in tank</h3>

Explanation:

given amount of salt at time t is A(t)

initial amount of salt =300 gm =0.3kg

=>A(0)=0.3

rate of salt inflow =5*0.4= 2 kg/min

rate of salt out flow =5*A/(200)=A/40

rate of change of salt at time t , dA/dt= rate of salt inflow- ratew of salt outflow

$dA/dt=2-(A/40)\\\\dA=2dt-(A/40)dt\\\\dA+(A/40)dt=2dt$

integrating factor

$=e^{\int\limits (1/40) \, dt}$

integrating factor $=e^{(1/40)t}$

multiply on both sides by $=e^{(1/40)t}$

$dAe^{(1/40)t}+(A/40)e^{(1/40)t} dt =2e^{(1/40)t}t\\\\(Ae^{(1/40)t})=2e^{(1/40)t}t$

integrate on both sides

$\int\limits(Ae^{(1/40)t})=\int\limits2e^{(1/40)t}dt\\\\(Ae^{(1/40)t})=2*40e^{(1/40)t}+C\\\\A=80+(C/e^{(1/40)t})\\\\A(0)=0.3\\\\0.3=80+(C/e^{(1/40)t}^*^0)\\\\0.3=80+(C/1)\\\\C=0.3-80\\\\C=-79.7\\\\A(t)=80-(79.7/e^{(1/40)t})$

after long period of time means t - > ∞

${t \to \infty}\\\\ \lim_{t \to \infty} A_t \\\\ \lim_{t \to \infty} (80)-(79/{e^{(1/40)t}}\\\\=80-(0)\\\\=80$

<h3>Therefore, after long period of time 80kg of salt will remain in tank</h3>

Express the quantity 556.2 x 10^-12 in each units<br> A.) ms<br> B.) ns<br> C.) ps<br> D.) fs

zavuch27 [327]

The answer:
we should know the meaning of each abbreviation:
ms means millisecond, its value is 10^-3 s
ns means means nanosecond, its value is 10^-9 s
ps means picosecond, its value is 10^-12 s
fs means femtosecond, its value is 1x 10^15 s

<span>Expressions of the quantity 556.2 x 10^-12 are</span>
556.2 x 10^-12 =556.2 ps
556.2 x 10^-12 =556.2 x 10^-9 x 10^-3= 556.2 x 10^-9 ms
556.2 x 10^-12 = 556.2 x 10^-3 x 10^-9 = 556.2 x 10^-3 ns
556.2 x 10^-12 = 556.2 x 10^- 27 x 10^15 = 556.2 x 10^- 27 fs
