Why do you think the astronomical unit is not used to measure distances on earth?

2 answers:

Answer:One Astronomical Unit is the distance between the Earth and the Sun, this acts as a sort of a cosmic metre stick. Astronomers don't and cannot measure distances. Distances are merely inferred from what actually has been measured, such as an angle, a relative luminosity, a time period

Answer:

you would have to use decimals in the quadrillionths if you measure in meters. so 11 0s before the number

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxidation occurs when the Nox number increases and a reduction occurs when the Nox number decreases. So, let's verify in which reaction the same reactant has elements that both occur after the reaction.

A) H₂SeO₄: H = +1, O = -2 (fixed)

Se: x +2*1 + 4*(-2) = 0

x + 2 - 8= 0

x = +6

Cl⁻: -1 (ions have Nox equal to its charge)

H⁺: +1

H₂SeO₃: H = + 1, O = -2

Se: x +2*1 + 3*(-2) = 0

x + 2 -6 = 0

x = + 4 (Se reduces)

Cl₂: Cl = 0 (simple molecule, so Cl oxides)

H₂O: H = +1, O = -2

B) S₈: S = 0

O₂: O = 0

SO₂: O = -2, S: x + 2*(-2) = 0 -> x = +4 (S oxides and O reduces)

C) Br₂: Br = 0

OH⁻ : O = -2, H = +1

Br⁻ = -1 (Br reduces)

BrO₃⁻: O = -2, Br: x +3x(-2) = -1 -> x = +5 (Br oxides)

H₂O: H = +1, O = -2

D) Ca²⁺: Ca = +2

SO₄²⁻: O = -2, S: x +4*(-2) = -2 -> x = +6

CaSO₄: O = -2, S = +6, Ca = +2

E) PtCl₄: Cl = -1 (fixed), Pt: x + 4*(-1) = 0 -> x = +4

Cl⁻: Cl = -1

PtCl₆²⁻: Cl = -1, Pt = x + 6*(-1) = -2 -> x = +4

So, only in letter C Br₂ is undergoes both oxidation and reduction.

How many grams S03<br> are needed to make 400g<br> H₂So4 in 49%

NemiM [27]

160 g of SO3 are needed to make 400 g of 49% H2SO4.

<h3>How many grams of SO3 are required to prepare 400 g of 49% H2SO4?</h3>

The equation of the reaction for the formation of H2SO4 from SO3 is given below as follows:

$SO_{3} + H_{2}O \rightarrow H_{2}SO_{4}$

1 mole of SO3 produces 1 mole of H2SO4

Molar mass of SO3 = 80 g/mol

Molar mass of H2SO4 = 98 g/mol

80 g of SO3 are required to produce 98 og 100%H2SO4

mass of SO3 required to produce 400 g of 100 %H2SO4 = 80/98 × 400 = 326.5 g of SO3

Mass of SO3 required to produce 49% of 400 g H2SO4 = 326.5 × 49% = 160 g

Therefore, 160 g of SO3 are needed to make 400 g of 49% H2SO4.

Calculate the wavelength of a photon of light having a frequency of 3.50 x 1015 Hz.

Aliun [14]

Answer:

Wavelength, $\lambda=8.57\times 10^{-8}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency, $f=3.5\times 10^{15}\ Hz$

We need to find the wavelength of a photon of light. The relation between frequency and wavelength is as follows :

$c=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{3.5\times 10^{15}}\\\\\lambda=8.57\times 10^{-8}\ m$

So, the wavelength of the light is $8.57\times 10^{-8}\ m$ .

You shine a flashlight into a glass of apple juice. Some of the light bounces off the liquid. Some of it passes through it. Whic

Vilka [71]

Answer:

2. Translucent

4. Reflection

Explanation:

The terms translucent describes the nature of the juice and reflection perfectly fits the property of the light.

A translucent substance is one that partially allows light to pass through it. Since it is said that some of the light bounced back and some passed through, this is translucent.

Also, the light bouncing back is an indicator of reflection. Reflection is a property of light where it bounces back a surface.
