A radio wave travels 186,000 miles per second. How many kilometers will the wave travel in one microsecond? (1 mile = 1.61 km)

1 answer:

6 0

1) 1 second = 1000000 microseconds

2) 186000 / 1.61 = 115527.9503 Km

3) We use the equation:
Speed = distance / time

4) rearrange for distance by multiplying both sides by time to get;

Distance = speed x time

5) plug in the values:

Distance = 115527.9503 x 0.000001
= 0.1155279503 Km

Naddik [55]

Answer:

1: At temperatures below 542.55 K

2: At temperatures above 660 K

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the thermodynamic definition of the Gibbs free energy, it is possible to write the following expression:

$\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S$

Whereas ΔG=0 for the spontaneous transition. In such a way, we proceed as follows:

$0=\Delta H-T\Delta S\\\\T=\frac{-102kJ/mol}{-0.188kJ/mol-K} \\\\T=542.55K$

It means that at temperatures lower than 542.55 K the reaction will be spontaneous.

$0=\Delta H-T\Delta S\\\\T=\frac{132kJ/mol}{0.200kJ/mol-K} \\\\T=660K$

It means that at temperatures higher than 660 K the reaction will be spontaneous.

Best regards!

Which of the following is defined as the mass of an atom based on the mass of an atom of carbon-12?

iogann1982 [59]

<span>This would be the atomic mass. In an atom of carbon-12, there are 6 protons and 6 neutrons at rest (electrons have a negligible mass and are usually not part of the overall mass calculation). All atomic masses are based off the measurements of this specific iteration of carbon.</span>

The empirical formula of a compound is CH2O and its molecular weight is 90.09 g/mol. Determine the molecular formula.

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer : The molecular formula of the compound will be, $C_{3}H_{6}O_3$

Explanation :

Empirical formula : It is the simplest form of the chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Molecular formula : it is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

As we are given that the empirical formula of a compound is $CH_2O$ and the molar mass of compound is, 90.09 gram/mol.

The empirical mass of $CH_2O$ = 1(12) + 2(1) + 1(16) = 30 g/eq

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

$n=\frac{90.09}{30}=3$

Molecular formula = $(CH_2O)_n=(CH_2O)_3=C_{3}H_{6}O_3$

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound will be, $C_{3}H_{6}O_3$

Review the table detailing the mass of Jupiter’s moons and their distance from the planet. Which of Jupiter’s moons has the grea

olga nikolaevna [1]

The correct answer is Lo.

The gravitational force between the two components is directly equivalent to the product of their masses and is inversely proportional to the distance separated between them. The largest planet in the solar system is Jupiter. It comprises 75 moons, and out of these moons, the four Galilean moons are very big in mass. These are Lo, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.

Of these Galilean moons, the Lo moon is very close to Jupiter. The Ganymede moon is the largest of all the Galilean moons, but it is situated very far from Jupiter in comparison to Lo. Thus, the force of attraction between the Lo and Jupiter is very high, it exhibits the greatest gravitational force with Jupiter.
