Answer:

B

Explanation:

The Sun is 93 million miles away. Other stars are light-years away. With this in mind, we orbit the sun, meaning that we are close enough to be within its gravitational field.

Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

If 45.0 mL of ethanol (density = 0.789 g/mL) initially at 8.0 ∘C is mixed with 45.0 mL of water (density = 1.0 g/mL) initially a

strojnjashka [21]

Answer : The final temperature of the mixture is, $22.14^oC$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mass of ethanol and water.

$\text{Mass of ethanol}=\text{Density of ethanol}\times \text{Volume of ethanol}=0.789g/mL\times 45.0mL=35.5g$

and,

$\text{Mass of water}=\text{Density of water}\times \text{Volume of water}=1.0g/mL\times 45.0mL=45.0g$

Now we have to calculate the final temperature of the mixture.

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

$q_1=-q_2$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)$

where,

$c_1$ = specific heat of ethanol = $2.42J/g^oC$

$c_2$ = specific heat of water = $4.18J/g^oC$

$m_1$ = mass of ethanol = 35.5 g

$m_2$ = mass of water = 45.0 g

$T_f$ = final temperature of mixture = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of ethanol = $8.0^oC$

$T_2$ = initial temperature of water = $28.6^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$35.5g\times 2.42J/g^oC\times (T_f-8.0)^oC=-45.0g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (T_f-28.6)^oC$

$T_f=22.14^oC$

Therefore, the final temperature of the mixture is, $22.14^oC$

What is the condition of water in the hydrosphere right now?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

A planet's hydrosphere can be liquid, vapor, or ice. On Earth, in the places at the north and south pole, water exists in ice or glacier form, in the atmosphere it exists in vapor form and liquid water exists on the surface in the form of oceans, lakes and rivers. It also exists below ground as groundwater, in wells and aquifers. Water collects in clouds, then falls to Earth in the form of rain or snow,

The combustion of gasoline produces carbon dioxide and water. Assume gasoline to be pure octane (C8H18) and calculate the mass (

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

3.1 kg

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced combustion equation

C₈H₁₈ + 12.5 O₂ ⇒ 8 CO₂ + 9 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 1.0 kg of C₈H₁₈.

The molar mass of C₈H₁₈ is 114.23 g/mol.

1.0 × 10³ g × 1 mol/114.23 g = 8.8 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of CO₂ produced from 8.8 moles of C₈H₁₈

The molar ratio of C₈H₁₈ to CO₂ is 1:8. The moles of CO₂ produced are 8/1 × 8.8 mol = 70 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 70 moles of CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.

70 mol × 44.01 g/mol = 3.1 × 10³ g = 3.1 kg

What is the difference between a proton, neutron, and electron?

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

proton :

a particale or atom containing a postive charge

nuutron

a particale or atom that contains a negative charge

electron :

a particale or atom with a negative chrage.

Explanation:

proton:

a stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron, but of opposite sign.

nuetron:

a subatomic particle of about the same mass as a proton but without an electric charge, present in all atomic nuclei except those of ordinary hydrogen.

elcetron:

a stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids.
