Answer:

Analyze the Characteristics of a Star

Explanation:

Surface Temperature

First, you want to determine the color of the star - this can determine the heat and age of the star.

Second, you want to measure the spectrum and get the spectral type.

Chemical Composition

Determine which lines are present in the spectrum.

Luminosity

Measure the apparent brightness and compensate for distance

Radical Velocity

Measure the Doppler shift in the spectrum.

Rotation

Measure the width of spectral lines.

Mass

Measure the period and radial velocity curves of spectroscopic binary stars.

Diameter

1. Measure the way a star’s light is blocked by the Moon.

2. Measure the light curves and Doppler shifts for eclipsing binary stars.

Answer:

Measuring distances to stars through stellar parallax. Measuring distances to stars through the moving cluster method. Astronomers measure the temperature of a star by looking at the star's color and its spectrum. The apparent brightness of a star tells how bright it seems to us

How many valence electrons are in potassium

klasskru [66]

One because Potassium is in the first column on the periodic table. Any element in the first column on the periodic table has one valence electron in their outer shell.

Formaldehyde is a carcinogenic volatile organic compound with a permissible exposure level of 0.75 ppm. At this level, how many

Flauer [41]

Answer : The amount of formaldehyde permissible are, $5.4\times 10^{-6}g$

Explanation : Given,

Density of air = $1.2kg/m^3=1.2g/L$ $(1kg/m^3=1g/L)$

First we have to calculate the mass of air.

$\text{Mass of air}=\text{Density of air}\times \text{Volume of air}$

$\text{Mass of air}=1.2g/L\times 6.0L$

$\text{Mass of air}=7.2g$

Now we have to calculate the amount of formaldehyde.

Permissible exposure level of formaldehyde = 0.75 ppm = $\frac{0.75g\text{ of formaldehyde}}{10^6g\text{ of air}}$

Amount of formaldehyde in 7.2 g of formaldehyde = $7.2g\times \frac{0.75g\text{ of formaldehyde}}{10^6g\text{ of air}}$

Amount of formaldehyde in 7.2 g of formaldehyde = $5.4\times 10^{-6}g$

Thus, the amount of formaldehyde permissible are, $5.4\times 10^{-6}g$

Your teacher directs you to combine two liquid substances into a flask. after you combine them, you notice that the flask feels

adelina 88 [10]

Answer : The correct option is (A).

Explanation :

Endothermic reaction : When two liquids are combine into a flask, then the flask feels cold when we touch it because the system absorbed heat from the surrounding.

In general, endothermic process absorbs heat and cool the surrounding.

Exothermic reaction : When two liquids are combine into a flask, then the flask feels hot when we touch it because the system released heat into the surrounding.

In general, exothermic process releases heat and rise the temperature of surrounding.

A student has a solution of sodium nitrate and believes it is saturated. Which statement provides the best evidence that the sol

zheka24 [161]

It is easiest to tell if a solution is saturated if there is residue on the bottom. If it crystallized, the solution is saturated. If it is a supersaturated solution, there will not be crystallization unless more of the solute is added, at which point all of it will crystallize.
