Answer:- 0.134 seconds

Solution:- The speed is given as 2.988*10^8\frac{m}{s} and the circumference is 24900 miles which is same as the distance light have to covered. It asks to calculate the time required to cover this distance by the light.

Unit conversion is needed from miles to meters since the speed is given in meters per second.

1 mile = 1609.34 meters

Thus, 24900mile(\frac{1609.34meter}{mile})

= 40072566 meters

Now, speed=\frac{distance}{time}

Rearranged for time, that gives: time=\frac{distance}{speed}

Inserting the values:

time=\frac{40072566meter}{2.988*10^8\frac{meter}{second}}

= 0.134 seconds

Hence, light would take 0.134 seconds to traverse the indicated distance. The answer without the unit is 0.134.

The [H3O+] in a solution is increased to twice the original concentration. Which change could occur in the pH? 2.0 to 4.0 1.7 to
KiRa [971]
Answer: second option: 1.70 to 1.40

Explanation:

1) pH is defined using the formula pH = - log [H₃O⁺]

2) Given that the initial concentration is x and after doubling it becomes 2x, we calculate:

pHi = - logx
pHf = - log 2x = - log 2 - logx

Thus, pHf - pHi = - log2 - logx - (- logx) = - log2 ≈ - 0.30

⇒ pHi - pHf = 0.30, indicating that the final pH (with twice the hydronium ions) is 0.30 lower than the starting pH.

3) The only option that indicates a 0.30 decline in pH is the second one: from 1.70 to 1.40. Therefore, that is the correct choice.

A chemist combined chloroform (CHCl3) and acetone (C3H6O) to create a solution where the mole fraction of chloroform is 0.187. T
KiRa [971]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{c = 2.50 mol/L; b = 3.96 mol/kg }}

Explanation:

1. Molar concentration

Designate chloroform as C and acetone as A.

The molar concentration for C is derived from Moles of C per Litres of solution.

(a) Moles of C

We are assuming there are 0.187 moles of C.

This resolves that step.

(b) Litres of solution

Next, identify 0.813 moles of A.

(i) Mass of each component

\text{Mass of C} = \text{0.187 mol C} \times \dfrac{\text{119.38 g C}}{\text{1 mol C}} = \text{22.32 g C}\\\\\text{Mass of A} = \text{0.813 mol A} \times \dfrac{\text{58.08 g A}}{\text{1 mol A}} = \text{47.22 g A}

(ii) Volume of each component

\text{Vol. of C} = \text{22.32 g C} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mL C}}{\text{1.48 g C}} = \text{15.08 mL C}\\\\\text{Vol. of A} = \text{47.22 g A} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mL A}}{\text{0.791 g A}} = \text{59.70 mL A}

(iii) Volume of solution

Assuming mixing doesn't alter the total volume.

V = 15.08 mL + 59.70 mL = 74.78 mL

(c) Molar concentration of C

c = \dfrac{\text{0.187 mol}}{\text{0.07478 L}} = \textbf{2.50 mol/L }\\\\\text{ The molar concentration of chloroform is $\large \boxed{\textbf{2.50 mol/L}}$}

2. Molal concentration of C

Molal concentration is calculated as moles of solute per kilograms of solvent.

Total moles of C = 0.187 mol.

Mass of A = 47.22 g = 0.047 22 kg.

\text{b} = \dfrac{\text{0.187 mol}}{\text{0.047 22 kg}} = \textbf{3.96 mol/kg }\\\\\text{The molal concentration of chloroform is $\large \boxed{\textbf{3.96 mol/kg}}$}

In a car piston shown above, the pressure of the compressed gas (red) is 5.00 atm. If the area of the piston is 0.0760 m^2. What
Anarel [852]

Answer:

The force is 38503.5N.

Explanation:

From the problem, we determine:

P (pressure) = 5.00 atm.

Next, to find the force in Newtons (N), we must convert 5 atm into N/m², as shown:

1 atm equals 101325 N/m².

So, 5 atm equals 5 x 101325 = 506625 N/m².

A (the piston area) = 0.0760 m².

Pressure signifies force per unit area, mathematically represented as

P = F/A.

From this, we find F = P × A.

F = 506625 × 0.0760.

Therefore, F = 38503.5N.

Thus, the piston experiences a force of 38503.5N.

(a) The original value of the reaction quotient, Qc, for the reaction of H2(g) and I2(g) to form HI(g) (before any reactions tak
KiRa [971]

Response:

Here's my calculation

Clarification:

Assume the starting concentrations of H₂ and I₂ are 0.030 and 0.015 mol·L⁻¹, respectively.

We need to determine the initial concentration of HI.

1. We will need a chemical equation with concentrations, so let's compile all the information in one location.

H₂ + I₂ ⇌ 2HI

I/mol·L⁻¹: 0.30 0.15 x

2. Calculate the concentration of HI

Q_{\text{c}} = \dfrac{\text{[HI]}^{2}} {\text{[H$_{2}$][I$_{2}$]}} =\dfrac{x^{2}}{0.30 \times 0.15} =  5.56\\\\x^{2} = 0.30 \times 0.15 \times 5.56 = 0.250\\x = \sqrt{0.250} = \textbf{0.50 mol/L}\\\text{The initial concentration of HI is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.50 mol/L}}$}

3. Plot the initial values

The graph below visualizes the initial concentrations as plotted on the vertical axis.
