The following is an example of which type of boundary?

Antarctica, almost completely covered in ice, has an area

Marysya12 [62]

Answer: The mass of ice is $2.39\times 10^{22}g$

Explanation:

We are given:

Area of Antarctica = $5,500,000mi^2=5,500,000\times 2.59\times 10^{10}=142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2$ (Conversion factor: $1mi^2=2.59\times 10^{10}cm^2$ )

Height of Antarctica with ice = 7500 ft.

Height of Antarctica without ice = 1500 ft.

Height of ice = 7500 - 1500 = 6000 ft = $182.88\times 10^3cm$ (Conversion factor: 1 ft = 30.48 cm)

To calculate mass of ice, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}$

We are given:

Density of ice = $0.917g/cm^3$

Volume of ice = Area × Height of ice = $142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2\times 182.88\times 10^3cm=26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.917g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of ice}}{26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of ice}=(0.917g/cm^3\times 26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3=2.39\times 10^{22}g$

Hence, the mass of ice is $2.39\times 10^{22}g$

Which alkane would have a higher boiling point?a)ethaneb)pentanec)heptane

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

Alkanes with higher molecular mass has higher boiling point.

Thisis because when the molar mass of the alkanes increases the the surface area increases with which van der Waals forces between the molecules of alkane also increase which increases the association of the molecules of with each other which results in increase in boiling point is observed.

The increasing order of the molar mass of the given alkanes;

$C_2H_6$

So out of ethane, pentane and heptane . Heptane has highest molecular mass with higher boiling point value. Where as ethane have the lowest value of boiling point.

A man pours some hot coffee into a small cup from a large jug that contains enough coffee for several cups. Which statement corr

Stells [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is "The coffee in the jug has more thermal energy than the coffee in the cup".

Explanation:

First I had to look for the problem to know the possible answers.

In this case, the coffee jug has a large amount of coffee at the same temperature. If we analyze that the decanter and the coffee are at the same temperature, we have a homogeneous thermal system. The cup is at room temperature, so by pouring coffee into it, the temperature of the coffee decreases to balance with the temperature of the cup. At this moment, the temperature of the cup-cafe system is lower than the jug-cafe system.

Thermal energy is the part of the internal energy of an equilibrated thermodynamic system that is proportional to its absolute temperature and increases or decreases by energy transfer.

In this way, we can ensure that the thermal energy of the cup-cafe system is lower than that of the jug-cafe system.

Have a nice day!

A gas mixture containing oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide has a total pressure of 32.5 kPa. If Po2 =

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

A gas mixture containing oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide has a total pressure of 32.5 kPa.

The pressure for oxygen is 3 kPa

Explanation:

According to Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure total exerted by the mixture of non-reacting gases is equal to sum of the partial pressure of each gas.

$P_{total}=P_{1}+P_{2}+P_{3}$

So,

For , a gas mixture containing oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide has a total pressure:

$P_{total}=P_{O_{2}}+P_{N_{2}}+P_{CO_{2}}$

$P_{total} = 32.5kPa$

$P_{O_{2}} = 6.5kPa$

$P_{N_{2}} = 23.0kPa$

Insert the values in :

$P_{total}=P_{O_{2}}+P_{N_{2}}+P_{CO_{2}}$

$32.5 kPa = 6.5 kPa + 23.0 kPa +P_{CO_{2}}$

$32.5 kPa = 29.5 kPa +P_{CO_{2}}$

$P_{CO_{2}}= 32.5 - 29.5$

$P_{CO_{2}}= 3kPa$
