What do scientists use the term “light-year” to describe?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Astronomers measure distance in space or the distance light travels in one Earth year.

" A light-year is how astronomers measure distance in space. It's defined by how far a beam of light travels in one year – a distance of six trillion miles."

A community located downwind from a coal-fired power plant has seen a recent increase in the number of dead and dying trees. A so scientist measured values for the following parameters before and after the trees died off. Which of the following oil data should be used to determine if the coalfired power plant emiations were the cause of the damage to the trees
a. Moisture content and water retention
b. Parent material composition
c. Pesticide and herbicide residue levels
d. Calcium and aluminum levels

Answers

Answer:

Option D, Calcium and Aluminum levels

Explanation:

The coal fired power plant releases huge amount of particulate and gaseous emissions such as mercury, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxide etc. When there is rain, these gaseous and particulate matter comes to the ground along with rain water and pollute the soil. There are also chances of acid rain due to the presence of sulphur dioxide. Polluted soil and acid rain negatively impact the growth of the plants and causes leaching of Aluminium thereby decreasing the availability of calcium for the plants. Thus, the trees die. Hence, if the amount of Aluminium and Calcium in soil is determined, one can easily deduce the cause of death of trees.

Hence, option D is correct

Magnesium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide are both strong bases. The pH of a saturated solution of sodium hydroxide is greater than 14. The pH of a saturated
solution of magnesium hydroxide is about 10.2. Why do the solutions have different pH values?

Answers

Answer: Solubility of NaOH is greater and there are more OH- ions in solution.

Explanation: Reactions : NaOH (s) ⇒ Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq)

Mg(OH)2 (s) ⇒ Mg2+ (aq) + 2 OH-(aq)

Although in same amount of moles, Mg(OH)2 produces

two (OH-)-ions in water solution, solubility of Mq(OH)2 is smaller.

Concentration [OH-]ions is smaller in saturated  water solution

gravitational force is most responsible for binding together an atom’s protons and neutrons.

What is gravitational force?

In physics, gravity (from Latin gravitas 'weight') is a fundamental interaction which causes mutual attraction between all things with mass or energy. Gravity is by far the weakest of the four fundamental interactions, approximately 1038 times weaker than the strong interaction, 1036 times weaker than the electromagnetic force and 1029 times weaker than the weak interaction. As a result, it has no significant influence at the level of subatomic particles. However, gravity is the most significant interaction between objects at the macroscopic scale, and it determines the motion of planets, stars, galaxies, and even light.

On Earth, gravity gives weight to physical objects, and the Moon's gravity causes tides in the oceans. Gravity also has many important biological functions, helping to guide the growth of plants through the process of gravitropism and influencing the circulation of fluids in multicellular organisms. Investigation into the effects of weightlessness has shown that gravity may play a role in immune system function and cell differentiation within the human body.

The gravitational attraction between the original gaseous matter in the Universe allowed it to coalesce and form stars which eventually condensed into galaxies, so gravity is responsible for many of the large-scale structures in the Universe. Gravity has an infinite range, although its effects become weaker as objects get farther away.

Which of the following is true for a gas under conditions of very high pressure? (5
points)
1) PV > nRT, because the real volume of the gas would be more than the ideal
volume.
2) PV = nRT, because intermolecular forces are considerable at very high
pressures.
3) PV = nRT, because all gases behave as ideal gases at very high pressures.
04) PV = nRT, because the volume of the gas would become negligible.

Answers

Answer:

1) PV > nRT, because the real volume of the gas would be more than the ideal

volume.

Explanation:

According to the ideal gas equation; PV = nRT.  Let us recall that this equation only holds under ideal conditions.

Gases exhibit ideal behavior under high temperature and low pressure. At higher pressure, the real volume of the gas is larger than the ideal volume of the gas.

Thus, at high pressure,  PV > nRT, because the real volume of the gas would be more than the ideal  volume.

Answer:

1) PV > nRT, because the real volume of the gas would be more than the ideal volume.

3. Calculate the molarity of 0.289 moles of FeCl, dissolved in 120 ml of solution?

4. If a 0.075 liter solution contains 0.0877 moles of Cuco, what is the molarity?

Answers

Answer:

hope this helps

Explanation:

2.  Well, we take the quotient...concentration=moles of solutevolume of solution

Explanation:

And thus concentration has the units of mol⋅L−1...

And so in this given scenario, the quotient gives....

concentration=[NaCl(aq)]=0.50⋅mol0.30⋅L=1.67⋅mol⋅L−1.

What are the concentrations with respect to [Na+], and [Cl−]?  

3. molarity=2.41molL

Explanation:

Molarity=Moles of soluteLiters of solution

Moles=0.289

Solution=120mL=0.12L

Therefore,

Molarity=0.289mol0.12L≈2.41molL

4. 1.169 mol/L

Explanation:

From the question given, we obtained the following information:

Volume = 0.075 L

Mole of CuCo = 0.0877 moles

Molarity =..?

Molarity is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of the solution. It is represented mathematically as:

Molarity = mole /Volume

With the above formula, we can obtain the molarity of the solution as follow:

Molarity = 0.0877 mol / 0.075 L

Molarity = 1.169 mol/L

Therefore, the molarity of the solution is 1.169 mol/L

Explanation:

A 1 liter solution contains 0.383 M hydrofluoric acid and 0.510 M potassium fluoride.
Addition of 0.096 moles of calcium hydroxide will:
(Assume that the volume does not change upon the addition of calcium hydroxide.)
Raise the pH slightly
Lower the pH slightly
Raise the pH by several units
Lower the pH by several units
Not change the pH
Exceed the buffer capacity

Answers

Answer:

Lower the pH slightly

Explanation:

The mixture of HF, hydrofluoric acid and KF, potassium fluoride produce a buffer that is defined for the equilibrium:

HF(aq) → H⁺(aq) + F⁻(aq)

The buffer can maintain the pH of a solution despite the addition of strong bases or acids.

The reaction of HF with Ca(OH)2 is:

2HF + Ca(OH)2 → 2H2O + CaF2

That means the calcium hydroxide is decreasing the concentration of HF. Based on the equilibrium, the H+ and F- ions will decrease in order to produce more HF. As H+ is decreasing due the equilibrium and not for the addition of a strong base, the pH is decreasing slightly.

Explain how UPGMA and molecular clocks are similar. How can this similarity lead to errors in the relationships they may indicate

Answers

Answer:

UPGMA or Unweighted pair group method with arthematic mean. UPGMA is the simplest method for constructing evolutionary trees. The great disadvantage of UPGMA that all lineages will evolve from the same speed similarly in the molecular clock principle tells that proteins and DNA sequences get evolves at a constant rate over time. this is the This is called a 'molecular clock hypothesis'.

Clustering methods generally use bottom-up clustering methods by both molecular clock and UPGMA or Unweighted pair group method with arthematic mean. It uses the clustering method by connecting similar sequences and further large distant sequences.

These similarities lead to some errors in the relationship.

Strontium has 3 stable isotopes with mass numbers 86, 87 and 88. Their relative abundances are 9.97%, 7.0% and 82.6% respectively. How do the number of electrons and the electron configurations compare for atoms of the three isotopes

Answers

Answer:

38 and [Kr] 5s2.

Explanation:

The number of electrons and the electronic configurations are the same for the three isotopes of Strontium because in isotopes number of neutron increases not number of proton or electron. Isotope of element having the same atomic number but with different atomic masses due to increase the number of neutrons in each isotope. So the number of electron in all isotopes are the same i.e. 38 and the electronic configuration is also the same i.e. [Kr] 5s2.
