Which of the following is not equal to 120 centimeters?
tia_tia [17]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.012 dekameters (dkm)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • 120 centimeters( cm).

Required to identify the measurements that is not equivalent to 120 cm.

  • Centimeters are units that are used to measure length together with other units such as kilometers(km), meters (m), millimeters (mm), dekameters (dkm), etc.
  • These units can be inter-converted to one another using suitable conversion factors.
  • To do this, we are going to have a table showing the suitable conversion factor from one unit to another.

Kilometer (km)

10

Decimeter (Dm)

10

Hectometer (Hm)\

10

Meter (m)

10

Dekameter (dkm)

10

Centimeter (cm)

10

Millimeter (mm)

Therefore;

To convert cm to km

Conversion factor is 10^5 cm/km

Thus;

120 cm = 120 cm ÷ 10^5 cm/km

            = 0.0012 km

To convert cm to dkm

Conversion factor is 10 cm/dkm

Therefore,

120 cm = 120 cm ÷ 10 cm/dkm

            = 12 dkm

To convert cm to m

The suitable conversion factor is 10^2 cm/m

Thus,

120 cm = 120 cm ÷ 10^2 cm/m

           = 1.2 m

To convert cm to mm

Suitable conversion factor is 10 mm/cm

Therefore;

120 cm = 120 cm × 10 mm/cm

            = 1200 mm

Therefore, the measurement that is not equal to 120 cm is 0.012 dkm

Why do you elements in the same group have similar properties
lozanna [386]

Answer:

They have similar properties, because they share similar amounts of electrons in their outer shell, valence electrons! This means they will only be able to interact with other elements with those electrons so they often show similar properties.

A 100.0 mL sample of 0.300 M NaOH is mixed with a 100.0 mL sample of 0.300 M HNO3 in a coffee cup calorimeter. If both solutions
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Qm  = -55.8Kj/mole

Explanation:

NaOH(aq) + HNO₃(aq) => NaNO₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

Qm = (mc∆T)water /moles acid

Given => 100ml(0.300M) NaOH(aq) + 100ml(0.300M)HNO₃(aq)

=> 0.03mole NaOH(aq) + 0.03mole HNO₃(aq)

=> 0.03mole NaNO₃(aq) + 0.03mole H₂O(l)

ΔH⁰rxn = [(200ml)(1.00cal/g∙°C)(37 – 35)°C]water / 0.03mole HNO₃

= 13,333 cal/mole x 4.184J/cal = 55,787J/mol = 55.8Kj/mole (exothermic)*

Heat of reactions comes from formation of H-Oxy bonds on formation of water of reaction and heats the 200ml of solvent water from 35⁰C to 37⁰C.

An airplane starts at rest and Excelerator down the runway for 20 seconds. At the end of the runway, its velocity is 80 m/s Nort
masha68 [24]
According to the formula you have given us to work with . . .

1). The airplane's acceleration is

(80 m/s north - zero) / (20 sec) = 4 m/sec^2 north

2).  For the cyclist:

                                          (V-final - zero) / 20sec = 0.5 m/s^2 south

Multiply each side by 20s :  V-final = 0.5 m/s^2 south x (20sec) = 

                                                                                         10 m/s south

Which term is used to describe the reactant that is used up completely and controls the amount of product that can be produced d
givi [52]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A limiting reagent is defined as a reagent that completely gets consumed in a chemical reaction. A limiting reagent limits the formation of products.

For example, we have given 5 mol of A and the reaction is 2A + 4B \rightarrow 2AB

Whereas when 4 mol B will react with 2 mol of A. Hence, 8 mol of B will react with 4 mol A as follows.

                        \frac{2}{4} \times 8 = 4 mol

As, the given moles of A is more than the required moles. Thus, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Hence, B is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

Thus, we can conclude that limiting reactant is the term used to describe the reactant that is used up completely and controls the amount of product that can be produced during a chemical reaction.
