Answer:

  t = 8.33 minutes

Explanation:

given,

Speed of Light, v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

distance between sun to Earth = 1.5 x 10¹¹ m

time taken to reach earth = ?

we know,

Distance = speed x time

t = \dfrac{d}{s}

t = \dfrac{1.5\times 10^{11}}{3\times 10^8}

      t = 500 s

1 min = 60 s

now, t = \dfrac{500}{60}\ minutes

          t = 8.33 minutes

time taken by the light to reach earth is equal to 8.33 minutes.

Mount Everest rises to a height of 8,850 m above sea level. At a base camp on the mountain the atmospheric pressure is measured
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

74.86°C

Explanation:

P₂ = Vapour pressure of water at sea level = 760 mmHg

P₁ = Pressure at base camp = 296 mmHg

T₂ = Temperature of water = 373 K

ΔH°vap for H2O = 40.7 kJ/mol = 40700 J/mol

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

From Claussius Clapeyron equation

ln\frac{P_2}{P_1}=\frac{\Delta H}{R}\left(\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}\right)\\\Rightarrow ln\frac{760}{296}=\frac{40700}{8.314}\left(\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{373}\right)\\\Rightarrow ln\frac{760}{296}\times \frac{8.314}{40700}+\frac{1}{373}=\frac{1}{T_1}\\\Rightarrow 0.0028735=\frac{1}{T_1}\\\Rightarrow T_1=347.996\ K

T₁ = 347.996 K = 74.86°C

∴Water will boil at 74.86°C

The atmospheric pressure on a mountain is 550 mmHg and 1 atm is equal to 760 mmHg. What is the pressure in atm? Give your answer
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

0.72 atm

Explanation:

Given that the atmospheric pressure on a mountain is 550 mmHg.

Where 1 atm is equal to 760 mmHg.

To Convert millimetre mercury (mmHg) into atmospheric pressure units (atm) , divide the magnitude of pressure by 760. That is,

Pressure = 550/760

Pressure = 0.724 atm

Therefore, pressure in atm is 0.72 atm in two significant figures
