Answer:

In the oxidation of glucose, carbon dioxide and water are formed. As new products are formed of different composition and characteristics, the respiration is considered as a chemical change.

Answer:

Because the oxidation of glucose turns into carbon dioxide and water as a result of respiration. CO2 and H2O form as the final products and cannot change back into glucose, therefore it's a chemical change.

1. A DC-10 jumbo jet maintains an airspeed of 550 mph in a southwesterly direction. The velocity of the jet stream is a constant

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The magnitude of actual velocity is 496.67 mph and its direction is 51.54° with the x axis in the third quadrant.

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of jumbo jet in southwesterly direction $(v_j)$ = 550 mph

Velocity of jet stream from west to east direction $(v_s)=80\ mph$

First let us draw a vectorial representation of the above velocity vectors.

Consider the south direction as negative y axis and west direction as negative x axis.

From the diagram,

The velocity of the jet can be represented as:

$\vec{v_j}=-550\cos(45)\vec{i}+(-550\sin(45)\vec{j} )\\\\\vec{v_j}=-388.91\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}\ mph$

Similarly, the velocity of the stream is, $\vec{v_s}=80\vec{i}$

Now, the vector sum of the above two vectors gives the actual velocity of the aircraft. So, the resultant velocity is given as:

$\vec{v}=\vec{v_j}+\vec{v_s}\\\\\vec{v}=-388.91\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}+80\vec{i}\\\\\vec{v}=(-388.91+80)\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}\\\\\vec{v}=(-308.91)\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}$

Now, magnitude is given as the square root of sum of the squares of the 'i' and 'j' components. So,

$|\vec{v}|=\sqrt{(-308.91)^2+(-388.91)^2}\\\\|\vec{v}|=496.67\ mph$

As the horizontal and vertical components of actual velocity negative, the resultant vector makes an angle $\theta$ with the x axis in the third quadrant.

The direction is given as:

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{-388.91}{-308.91})\\\\\theta=51.54\°(Third\ quadrant)$

Therefore, the magnitude of actual velocity is 496.67 mph and its direction is 51.54° with the x axis in the third quadrant.

At 1 atm pressure, the heat of sublimation of gallium is 277 kj/mol and the heat of vaporization is 271 kj/mol. to the correct n

Andreyy89

Below are the choices that can be found elsewhere:

a. 268 kJ
b. 271 kJ 
c. 9 kJ 
d. 6 kJ

So the key thing to realize here is what the information given to you actually means. Sublimation is going from a sold to a gas. Vaporization is going from a liquid to a gas. Hence you can create two equations from the information that you have:

Ga (s) --> Ga (g) delta H = 277 kJ/mol 

Ga (l) --> Ga (g) delta H = 271 kJ/mol 

From these two equations, you can then infer how to get the melting equation be simply finding the difference between the sublimation (two steps) and vaporization (one step). 

Ga (s) --> Ga (l) delta H = 6 kJ/mol 

At this point, all you need to do is a bit of stoichiometry. You start with 1.50 mol and multiply by the amount of energy per mole (6 kJ/mol). 

*ANSWER* 
9 kJ/mol (C)

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

this is what google said

No because the path the electricity needs to follow is broken. In a parallel circuit, electricity has more than one path to follow. Electrons can follow different paths as they flow from the negative side of the battery to the positive side.
