Answer:

0.13 s

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 24900 mile to metres (m). This can be obtained as follow:

1 mile = 1609.344 m

Therefore,

24900 mile = 24900 mile × 1609.344 m / 1 mile

24900 mile = 4.01×10⁷ m

Finally, we shall determine the time taken for light to circumnavigate the Earth, this can be obtained as follow:

Distance = 4.01×10⁷ m

Speed = 2.998×10⁸ m/s

Time =?

Speed = distance / time

2.998×10⁸ = 4.01×10⁷ / time

Cross multiply

2.998×10⁸ × time = 4.01×10⁷

Divide both side by 2.998×10⁸

Time = 4.01×10⁷ / 2.998×10⁸

Time = 0.13 s

Thus, it will take 0.13 s for light to circumnavigate the Earth.

The gas in an aerosol container is at a pressure of 3.50 atm at 24.0C. The caution on the container warns against storing it at
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

4.34atm

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

P1 = 3.50 atm

T1 = 24°C = 24 +273 = 297K

T2 = 95°C = 368K

P2 =?

Using P1 /T1 = P2 /T2, we can obtain the new pressure as follows:

P1 /T1 = P2 /T2

3.5 / 297 = P2 / 368

Cross multiply to express in linear form:

297 x P2 = 3.5 x 368

Divide both side by the 297

P2 = (3.5 x 368) /297

P2 = 4.34atm

Therefore, the gas pressure in the container at 95°C will be 4.34atm

Which of the following chemical formulas represents a molecule?<br><br><br> H2 CO2 SiO2 NH3
astraxan [27]

Answer:

H2

Explanation:

H (or hydrogen), being a halogen, as an atom, has 7 valence electrons. This means that it naturally bonds with another atom of the same isotope in order to reach the desired total of valence electrons: 8.

So... H+H = H2. EZ

What will be the pH of a buffer solution containing an acid of pKa7.5, with an acid concentration exactly one fourth of that of
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer: pH of buffer solution is 8.1

Explanation:

The formula for the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation is:

pH=pK_a+\log\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

pH is the concentration of [H^+]

pK_a is the acid dissociation constant,

A^- and HA are concentrations of the conjugate base and starting acid.

Putting in the values we get:

pH=7.5+\log\frac{x}{\frac{x}{4}}

pH=8.1

Thus pH of buffer solution is 8.1
