Using the concepts of ellipse and the universal law of gravitation it can be found that the correct answer is:

a) The planet’s path around the sun is not a perfect circle and is shaped like an oval.

The universal gravitational law establishes that the force between two bodies is proportional to their mass and inversely proportional to the square of their distance, when one of the bodies has much greater mass than the other, the body with greater mass experiences less rotational acceleration.

In the case of the sun and the planet, the sun is many orders of magnitude more massive than the planets, therefore, it is almost fixed in the center and the lighter planets rotate around it, where the sun is in the focus of the ellipse orbit.

In the special case that the two foci coincide, there is a circular movement, but the most general is that there is some separation between the foci, so the movement is elliptical with the sun located in one of the foci.

Let's analyze the claims of this exercise

a) True. When the orbit is not a perfect circle, you have an elliptical orbit, this is the most common case.

b) False. The axis of the planet has no effect on the orbit, it affects the intensity of the radiation that reaches the planets

c) False. Circular motion is a special case of elliptical motion when the two foci coincide

d) False. The axis of the planet influences the intensity of radiation reaching the surface, but not the shape of the orbit of the plant.

Using the concepts of ellipse it can be found that the correct answer is:

a) The planet’s path around the sun is not a perfect circle and is shaped like an oval.

Which particle model diagram represents xenon at stp?

Readme [11.4K]

The model that should show the corresct representation of xenon gas is one in which the gas molecules are isolated and monoatomic.

<h3>What is a noble gas?</h3>

A noble gas is a member of group 18 of the periodic table. Noble gases are known not to interact with each other and occur as monoatomic particles.

The images are not shown here hence the question is incomplete. However, we do know that any of the models that show individual monoatomic particles is a representation of xenon gas.

Red #40 has an acute oral LD50 of roughly 5000 mg dye/1 kg body weight. This means if you had a mass of 1 kg, ingesting 5000 mg

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

350 g dye

0.705 mol

2.9 × 10⁴ L

Explanation:

The lethal dose 50 (LD50) for the dye is 5000 mg dye/ 1 kg body weight. The amount of dye that would be needed to reach the LD50 of a 70 kg person is:

70 kg body weight × (5000 mg dye/ 1 kg body weight) = 3.5 × 10⁵ mg dye = 350 g dye

The molar mass of the dye is 496.42 g/mol. The moles represented by 350 g are:

350 g × (1 mol / 496.42 g) = 0.705 mol

The concentration of Red #40 dye in a sports drink is around 12 mg/L. The volume of drink required to achieve this mass of the dye is:

3.5 × 10⁵ mg × (1 L / 12 mg) = 2.9 × 10⁴ L

determine the freezing point depression of a solution that contains 30.7 g glycerin (c3h8o3, molar mass

Blababa [14]

The freezing point depression of a solution containing 30.7 g of glycerin is calculated as -1.65°C

Equating :

It is given that,

Given mass of glycerin is = 30.7 grams (Solute)

Volume of water = 376 mL

$K_{f}$ or molar -freezing-depression point is = 1.86°C/m

Molar mass of glycerin = 92.09 g/mole

Now, to work out the value, the mass of water should be known. Thus, to calculate, the formula used will be:

Mass = Density X Volume

Mass = 1.0 g/mL X 376 mL

Mass = 376 g or 0.376 Kg

Using the formula of melting point depression, the equation becomes:

Δ $T_{f}$ = i × $K_{f}$ ×m

T⁰- $T_{s}$ = $i *K_{f} *\frac{mass of glycerin}{molar mass of glycerin * mass of water in kg}$

in which,

Δ $T_{f}$ = change in freezing point

Δ $T_{s}$ = freezing point of solution that has to be find

ΔT° = freezing point of water ()

Since, glycerin is a non-electrolyte, the Van't Hoff factor will be 1.

Substituting the values in the above equation:

0⁰C₋T $_{s}$ = 1 ×1.86°C/m × $\frac{30.7}{92.09g/mol * 0.376kg}$

$T_{s}$ = -1.65°C

Thus, the freezing point depression of a solution is -1.65°C

Freezing point depression

Freezing point depression is a colligative property observed in solutions that results from the introduction of solute molecules to a solvent. The freezing points of solutions are all less than that of the pure solvent and is directly proportional to the molality of the solute

Is melting point elevation or depression?

Boiling point elevation is that the raising of a solvent's boiling point due to the addition of a solute. Similarly, melting point depression is the lowering of a solvent's freezing point due to the addition of a solute. In fact, because the boiling point of a solvent increases, its melting point decreases

What is Force? I'll Mark BRAINLIEST

Luda [366]

Answer:

A push or pull is referred to as a force. Forces can cause objects to move, slow, stop, or change the direction in which they travel. The force of gravity, for example, pulls all objects toward the Earth's center. Every time two things interact, a force is exerted on each of them. When this happens, the two items no longer feel the force after the interaction ends.
