Answer:

Explosive eruptions are favored by high gas content & high viscosity magmas (andesitic to rhyolitic magmas). The explosive bursting of bubbles fragments the magma into clots of liquid that cool as they fall through the air. These solid particles become pyroclasts or volcanic ash.

Which statement accurately describes dark matter?

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

C. It does not emit electromagnetic radiation.

Explanation:

Right now, Dark Matter is only a theory. Scientist proposed this to counter some of the strange phenomenon with matter in space.

Scientists know little about dark matter. Some say it's one of the driving forces of the universe. Currently, scientists have no way of measuring or identifying dark matter.

I need chemistry help! How would I set up these problems?

Bond [772]

Answer: -

1) 8.33 minutes

2) 118.39 in/ s

180.43 m/min

10.83 km/ hr

Explanation: -

Speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Distance of the earth from the sun= 93 million miles

We know 1 million = 1,000,000

Also 1 mile = 1609 m

Distance of the earth from the sun= 93 million miles

= 93,000,000 miles.

= 1.5 x $10^{11}$ m

Time taken = $\frac{Distance}{Speed}$

= $\frac{1.5 x [tex] 10^{11}$ m}{3 x 10⁸ m/s} [/tex]

= 500 s

= 500/ 60

= 8.33 minutes

2) Distance = 1 mile = 63360 inches

Time taken = 8.92 min

= 8.92 x 60

= 535.2 s

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

= $\frac{63360 inches}{535.2 s}$

= 118.39 in/ s

Distance = 1 mile = 63360 inches = 63360 x 2.54 cm = 63360 x 2.54 x $10^{-2}$ m

Time taken = 8.92 min

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

= $\frac{63360 x 2.54 x [tex] 10^{-2}$ m}{8.92 min} [/tex]

= 180.43 m/ min

1 m = 10⁻³ Km

1 min = 1/60 hour

1 m /min = 10⁻³ km/ $\frac{1}{60 hour}$

= 60/1000

=0.06 km/hr

180.43 m / min = 180 x 0.06 km / hr

= 10.93 km / hr

A compound is found to contain 37.32 % phosphorus , 16.88 % nitrogen , and 45.79 % fluorine by

Alla [95]

Answer: 1. The empirical formula is $PNF_2$

2. The molecular formula is $PNF_2$

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of P = 37.32 g

Mass of N = 16.88 g

Mass of F = 45.79 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of P = $\frac{\text{ given mass of P}}{\text{ molar mass of P}}= \frac{37.32g}{31g/mole}=1.20moles$

Moles of N = $\frac{\text{ given mass of N}}{\text{ molar mass of N}}= \frac{16.88g}{14g/mole}=1.20moles$

Moles of F = $\frac{\text{ given mass of F}}{\text{ molar mass of F}}= \frac{45.79g}{19g/mole}=2.41moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For P = $\frac{1.20}{1.20}=1$

For N = $\frac{1.20}{1.20}=1$

For F = $\frac{2.41}{1.20}=2$

The ratio of P: N: F= 1: 1: 2

Hence the empirical formula is $PNF_2$

The empirical weight of $PNF_2$ = 1(31)+1(14)+2(19)= 82.98 g.

The molecular weight = 82.98 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{82.98}{82.98}=1$

The molecular formula will be= $1\times PNF_2=PNF_2$
