Answer:
Space junk is travelling so fast that a collision with an astronaut or a spacecraft could be disastrous.
Explanation:
Space junk orbits the Earth at speeds of about 28 000 km/h.
That's so fast that even an orbiting fleck of paint has enough kinetic energy to cause impact craters on the surface of a spacecraft. They are even more dangerous to an astronaut on a space walk.
Much of the space debris is larger and more dangerous than a fleck of paint.
One rough estimate of the amount of space debris is
<em> </em><u>Size</u><em> </em> <u>Number of objects</u>
< 1 cm 200 000 000
1 cm to 10 cm 700 000
> 10 cm 30 000
Satellites, etc. 18 000
The chances of collision are small, but any collision can be disastrous.
Answer:
0.144M
Explanation:
First, let us write a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:
HNO3 + KOH —> KNO3 + H20
From the equation,
nA = 1
nB = 1
From the question given, we obtained the following:
Ma =?
Va = 30.00mL
Mb = 0.1000M
Vb = 43.13 mL
MaVa / MbVb = nA/nB
Ma x 30 / 0.1 x 43.13 = 1
Cross multiply to express in linear form
Ma x 30 = 0.1 x 43.13
Divide both side by 30
Ma = (0.1 x 43.13) /30 = 0.144M
The molarity of the nitric acid is 0.144M
Energy is released when a new bonds form.
