sound travels at 331m/s. How long would it take for sound to travel across lake tahoe, which is 21.6 miles long

Answer:

It would take sound <em><u>104.998 seconds</u></em> to travel across lake tahoe.

Explanation:

First let's convert the miles to meters, so, 21.6 miles = 34754.4 meters

Now, we will divide this number in meters by 331. So, 34754.4 / 331 = 104.998

And what will the unit be? Seconds will be the unit for time here so 104.998 seconds.

A 0.216 g sample of carbon dioxide, CO2, has a volume of 507 mL and a pressure of 470 mmHg. What is the temperature of the gas i
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The temperature of the gas is 876.69 Kelvin

Explanation:

Ideal gases are a simplification of real gases that is done to study them more easily. It is considered to be formed by point particles, do not interact with each other and move randomly. It is also considered that the molecules of an ideal gas, in themselves, do not occupy any volume.

The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:  

P*V = n*R*T

where P is the gas pressure, V is the volume that occupies, T is its temperature, R is the ideal gas constant, and n is the number of moles of the gas.

In this case:

  • P= 470 mmHg
  • V= 570 mL= 0.570 L
  • n= 0.216 g= 0.0049 moles (being the molar mass of carbon dioxide is 44 g/mole)
  • R= 62.36367 \frac{mmHg*L}{mol*K}
  • T=?

Replacing:

470 mmHg*0.570 L= 0.0049 moles* 62.36367 \frac{mmHg*L}{mol*K} *T

Solving:

T=\frac{470 mmHg*0.570 L}{0.0049 moles* 62.36367\frac{mmHg*L}{mol*K} }

T= 876.69 K

<em><u>The temperature of the gas is 876.69 Kelvin</u></em>

Exactly how much time must elapse before 16 grams of potassium-42decays, leaving 2 grams of the original isotope?(1) 8 × 12.4 ho
AleksandrR [38]
The answer is <span>(3) 3 × 12.4 hours
</span>
To calculate this, we will use two equations:
(1/2) ^{n} =x
t_{1/2} = \frac{t}{n}
where:
<span>n - number of half-lives
</span>x - remained amount of the sample, in decimals
<span>t_{1/2} - half-life length
</span>t - total time elapsed.

First, we have to calculate x and n. x is <span>remained amount of the sample, so if at the beginning were 16 grams of potassium-42, and now it remained 2 grams, then x is:
2 grams : x % = 16 grams : 100 %
x = 2 grams </span>× 100 percent ÷ 16 grams
x = 12.5% = 0.125

Thus:
<span>(1/2) ^{n} =x
</span>(0.5) ^{n} =0.125
n*log(0.5)=log(0.125)
n= \frac{log(0.5)}{log(0.125)}
n=3

It is known that the half-life of potassium-42 is 12.36 ≈ 12.4 hours.
Thus:
<span>t_{1/2} = 12.4
</span><span>t_{1/2} *n = t
</span>t= 12.4*3

Therefore, it must elapse 3 × 12.4 hours <span>before 16 grams of potassium-42 decays, leaving 2 grams of the original isotope</span>

How many grams of KF are in 2 liters of a 3.0 M solution of KF
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

mass ( g ) = 348 g

Explanation:

First you know : M = mole / volume (L)

in question you have the M and V and the formula of SUBSTANCE ( KF )

first you get the number of mole from equation above

so 3 = no of mole / 2

no of mole = 3 × 2 = 6 moles

and the moles equation is no of moles = mass ( g ) / molecular weight ( g/mole )

so you have already calculate the moles and you can know the MW from the Question

Mw of KF = 39 + 19 = 58

so n = mass / MW

so 6 = mass / 58

mass ( g ) = 348 g

GOOD LUCK
