Protostars are less dense than other stars.  

Explanation:

Protostars are very young ‘stars’ made from hydrogen clouds that are beginning to coalesce and collapse under their weight. The hydrogen has not even begun fusing. Therefore, they are mainly made of hydrogen which is the lightest element in the universe.

Stars, however, have begun fusing hydrogen to other heavier elements like helium, carbon, oxygen, and iron. The elements are much heavier than hydrogen making other stars much denser than protostars.

To calculate the density of the cube, we first determined the cube's volume by cubing the side's length and then divided the mass by the volume, resulting in a density of 6.179 g/cm³.

To find the density of the cube, we need to use the formula:

Density = mass/volume.

The mass of the cube is given as 0.92 grams. To calculate the volume of the cube, we cube the length of one side:

Volume = side3 = 0.53 cm x 0.53 cm x 0.53 cm.

Volume = 0.148877 cm3 (rounded to six decimal places).

Now, we can calculate the density:

Density = 0.92 g / 0.148877 cm3

Density = 6.179 g/cm3 (rounded to three decimal places).

Therefore, the density of the cube is 6.179 g/cm3.

Answer:

              Option-B (Table Salt) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

                     Salt formation takes place when Metal (like Na) and Non-metals (like Cl₂) are reacted. In given statement the reaction will be as follow:

                                        2 Na + Cl₂   →   2 NaCl

Above reaction can be divided as;

Oxidation Reaction:

The Sodium Atom (Na) being metal loses its single valence electron to attain a stable noble gas configuration as,

                                           Na  →  Na⁺  +  1 e⁻

Reduction Reaction:

The Chlorine Atom being non-metals accepts the electron from Na atom and changes into Chloride ion as,

                                          Cl₂  +  2 e⁻   →    2 Cl⁻

Formation of Salt:

Hence, the Na⁺ and Cl⁻ formed attracts each other and form an Ionic bond as,

                                            Na⁺  +  Cl⁻    →     NaCl

Note: You should remember that NaCl (Sodium Chloride) is also known as Table Salt :)

Final answer:

When sodium (Na) reacts with chlorine (Cl₂), the compound formed is table salt (option B), or sodium chloride (NaCl). The reaction is a synthesis of two reactive elements creating an ionic bond to form a stable, commonly used condiment and preservative.

Explanation:

The compound that is formed when the soft putty-like metal sodium (Na) reacts with the green-colored poisonous gas chlorine (Cl₂) is table salt (option B), which is chemically known as sodium chloride (NaCl). The reaction can be represented by the equation:

2 Na(s) + Cl₂ (g) → 2 NaCl(s)

This chemical reaction involves a transfer of electrons from sodium to chlorine, resulting in the formation of Na⁺ ions and Cl⁻ ions, which bond together to form the ionic compound sodium chloride. Sodium is a very reactive metal and chlorine is a correxive gas that should not be inhaled, but when these two are combined, a stable and harmless compound, table salt, is produced.

Answer: 100kPa

Explanation:

P1 = 3.00 x 10² kPa , P2 =?

T1 = 30°C = 30 +273 = 303k

T2 = —172°C = —172 + 273 = 101k

P1/T1 = P2/T2

3 x 10² / 303 = P2 / 101

P2 = (3 x 10² / 303) x 101

P2 = 100kPa

Final answer:

The final pressure in the container when the temperature is lowered to -172°C is calculated using Gay-Lussac's Law. By converting temperatures to kelvin and applying the formula P2 = (P1 x T2) / T1, we find the final pressure to be approximately 99.5 kPa.

Explanation:

The question is related to the behavior of gases under changes in temperature, which can be described by the Gas Laws, specifically the Gay-Lussac's Law. According to Gay-Lussac's Law, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in kelvins, provided that the volume and amount of gas remain constant. The law can be expressed as P1/T1 = P2/T2, where P1 and T1 are the initial pressure and temperature, and P2 and T2 are the final pressure and temperature.

To solve the problem, first convert the initial and final temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin:

Now using Gay-Lussac's Law:

The formula P2 = (P1 x T2) / T1 will give us the final pressure P2.

Substituting the known values:

P2 = (3.00 x 10² kPa x 101.15 K) / 303.15 K =approx 99.5 kPa

Therefore, the final pressure in the container will be approximately 99.5 kPa when the temperature is lowered to -172°C.

Explanation:

The single displacement reaction is the one in which the more reactive element substitute other element in a compound generating a new chemical compound.

It follows this kind of reactions :

[tex]A+BC\rightleftharpoons AC+B[/tex]

Now look at the reaction given;

[tex]Fe+Cu(NO_{3})_{2}\rightleftharpoons Fe(NO_{3})_{2}+Cu(s)[/tex]

Here the more reactive element (Fe) displaces the less reactive element [Cu]from the compound[Cu(NO3)2].

Hence Fe substitute Cu from Cu(NO3)2 and form Fe(NO3)2

It is not a double - displacement reaction . Where the elements interchange themselves to form the compound.

[tex]AB+CD\rightleftharpoons AC+BD[/tex]

Final answer:

The reaction Fe (s) + Cu(NO3)2 (aq) → Fe(NO3)2 (aq) + Cu (s) is a single displacement reaction, where Fe displaces Cu to form Fe(NO3)2 and release Cu as a solid.

Explanation:

The reaction shown, Fe (s) + Cu(NO3)2 (aq) → Fe(NO3)2 (aq) + Cu (s), is a type of chemical reaction where iron (Fe) displaces copper (Cu) from its compound to form a new compound, iron nitrate, while copper is released as a solid. This is an example of a single displacement reaction, specifically a metal replacement reaction, because a metal, in this case iron, is replacing another metal, which is copper. The correct answer to the type of reaction shown is single displacement (option b).

Answer:

The bucket with 50 degrees Celsius because it is more compact energy moving around faster in a smaller space, while the water in the bathtub is colder so it is moving slower but it also has more space so the protons don't bounce off of each other or the walls as much.

Explanation:

The bucket of water at 50°C would feel warmer to the touch. However, the bathtub filled with water at 25°C contains more energy due to its larger mass.

To determine which would feel warmer to the touch, we need to consider the temperature difference between the object and our body. The bucket of water at 50°C would feel warmer because it has a higher temperature compared to our body temperature. In terms of energy, the bathtub filled with water at 25°C contains more energy because it has a larger mass.

Heat energy is given by the formula Q = mcΔT, where Q represents heat energy, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature. Since the bathtub contains more water and has a larger mass than the bucket, it has more energy.

Therefore, while the bucket of water would feel warmer to the touch, the bathtub contains more energy due to its larger mass.

Answer:

h The rates of the forward and reverse reaction are equal.

Explanation:

The reaction takes place in a closed container . So both the reactant (NO₂) and product N₂O₄ are present in the reaction container. Under such conditions, the reaction reaches chemical equilibrium. At chemical equilibrium the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal. The concentration of the reactants and products remain constant at Chemical Equilbrium.

The mass of the salt is 8.00 grams.

To find the mass of the salt, we need to know the molar mass of NaCl. The molar mass of NaCl is calculated by adding the atomic mass of sodium (Na) to the atomic mass of chlorine (Cl). The atomic masses of Na and Cl are 22.99 grams/mole and 35.45 grams/mole, respectively. Adding these two values, we get a molar mass of 58.44 grams/mole for NaCl.

Now, we can use the given number of molecules (8.24 x 10^22) to calculate the mass of the salt. To do this, we first need to convert the number of molecules to moles by dividing it by Avogadro's number (6.02 x 10^23 molecules/mole). So, the number of moles of NaCl is 8.24 x 10^22 / 6.02 x 10^23 = 0.1368 moles.

Finally, we can calculate the mass of the salt by multiplying the number of moles (0.1368) by the molar mass of NaCl (58.44 grams/mole). The mass of the salt is therefore 0.1368 moles x 58.44 grams/mole = 8.00 grams.

Answer:

B. Cost of the distribution network

Explanation:

Answer:

             The correct Option is C (It is polar, because the bond polarities add together in a bent  molecule.)

Explanation:

The molecular structure of Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S) is attached below;

The molecule of Hydrogen Sulfide is polar due to following two reasons;

1)  Electronegativity Difference:

                                                   Sulfur has an electronegativity of 2.58 while that of Hydrogen is 2.20. Hence, sulfur being more electronegative attracts the electron fro hydrogen making it slightly partial positive and increasing electron density and becoming slightly partially positive. So, we can call this bond as slightly polar bond.

2) Dipole Moment:

                             Dipole moment occurs when the bond is polar. Being a vector quantity it strongly depends upon the geometry of a molecule. In H₂S the two polar bonds cannot cancel each other because they are not in opposite direction  as that found in case of CO₂. Hence, H₂S is a polar compound.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is polar due to the differences in electronegativity between hydrogen and sulfur and its bent molecular shape, which prevent the bond polarities from canceling each other out.

The correct option is C, 'H2S is polar because the bond polarities add together in a bent molecule'. The molecule hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is indeed polar. This is due to the fact that sulfur is more electronegative than hydrogen, creating a dipole moment in the bond. As the molecule is not symmetric, the polarities do not cancel out, making the molecule overall polar. In geometrical terms, the H2S molecule forms a 'bent' or 'V' shape, similar to water (H2O).

Answer: Internal fertilization

Explanation: Most birds and reptiles undergoes internal fertilization in which the sperm cells are ejected and fertilizes the egg cell inside the body of the animal.

Birds and many reptiles undergo oviparity, where internal fertilization leads to the laying of hard-shelled eggs that develop outside the parent's body. The calcified eggshell provides protection and the amniotic cavity within offers a stable environment for the embryo. This adaptation facilitates thriving in diverse, often drier habitats.

Birds and many reptiles exhibit a type of fertilization and development known as oviparity. In this process, internal fertilization occurs within the parent's body, but the offspring develop outside of the parent's body. The fertilized eggs are laid by the female, and the embryo develops receiving nourishment from the egg's yolk within an eggshell enriched with calcium carbonate, which makes the shell hard. An example of an oviparous animal is the chicken, whose eggs we are commonly familiar with. This mechanism provides protection to the embryos and has allowed these species to thrive in various environments, leading to less dependence on water for the development of the young.

Reptiles and birds possess four extraembryonic membranes: the yolk sac, the amnion, the chorion, and the allantois. The amnion creates an aquatic environment for the embryo, which is significant for their terrestrial lifestyle. Through oviparity, reptiles and birds have adapted to drier environments, an evolutionary advantage over their amphibian relatives.

Answer:

126.18 hr

Explanation:

Data given:

1 mL of water = 20 drops

count rate = 10 drops/s

time in hours for one gallon = ?

Solution:

First we calculate number of mL (milliliter) of water in gallon

As we know

1 gallon = 3785.4 mL

As,

1 galon consist of 3785.4 mL of water, so now we count number of drops that contain 3785.4 mL of water

As we Know 1 mL water contain 20 drops then 3785.4 mL of water contain how many drops:

Apply unity formula

                    1 mL water ≅ 20 drops

                    3785.4 mL water ≅ X drops

Do cross multiplication

                 X drops of water = 20 drops x 3785.4 mL / 1 mL

                 X drops of water = 75708 drops

So, we come to know that one gallon contain 75708 drops of water and we have to calculate the time in hour to count these drops

First we calculate time in seconds

As we Know 10 drops water count in one second then how many seconds it will take to count 75708 drops

Apply unity formula

                    1 second ≅ 10 drops

                    X second ≅ 75708 drops

Do cross multiplication

                 X second  = 1 second x 75708 drops / 10 drops

                 X second = 7570.8 second

So it take 7570.8 second to count 1 gallon water drops

Now convert seconds to hours

As,

60 seconds = 1 hr

7570.8 second  =  7570.8 / 60 = 126.18 hr

So it take 126.18 hr to count 1 gallon water drops.

Final answer:

It will take approximately 2.1 hours to count the number of drops in 1.0 gallons of water, given a counting rate of 10 drops per second.

Explanation:

To determine how long it will take to count the number of drops in 1.0 gallons of water, we need to establish some conversions. First, 1 gallon is equivalent to 3.785 liters, and 1 milliliter is equivalent to 20 drops of water. Given that the counting rate is 10 drops per second, we calculate the time needed as follows:

Convert gallons to milliliters: 1.0 gal = 3.785 L = 3,785 mL

Calculate the total drops of water in the volume: 3,785 mL × 20 drops/mL = 75,700 drops

Determine the time to count the drops: 75,700 drops ÷ 10 drops/s = 7,570 seconds

Convert seconds to hours: 7,570 s ÷ 3,600 s/hour = 2.1025 hours

Therefore, it will take approximately 2.1 hours to count the number of drops in 1.0 gallons of water at a rate of 10 drops per second.

Answer:

                       V₂ = 106.33 ml

Explanation:

Data Given:

                 Initial Temperature  =  T₁  =  27 °C + 273.15 = 300.15 K

                 Initial Pressure  =  P₁  =  740 mmHg

                 Initial Volume  =  V₁  =  120 ml

                 Final Temperature  =  T₂  =  0 °C + 273.15 = 273.15 K

                 Final Pressure  =  P₂  =  760 mmHg

                 Fnal Volume  =  V₂  =  ?

Formula Used:

Let's assume that the Oxygen gas is acting as an Ideal gas, the according to Ideal Gas Equation,

                       P₁ V₁ / T₁  =  P₂ V₂ / T₂

Solving for V₂,

                       V₂ = P₁ V₁ T₂/ T₁ P₂

Putting values,

                       V₂ = 740 mmHg × 120 ml × 273.15 K / 300.15 K × 760 mmHg

                       V₂ = 106.33 ml

The volume of dry oxygen gas at STP is approximately 95.3 mL.

To find the volume of dry oxygen gas at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure), we will follow these steps:

First, we need to calculate the partial pressure of the dry oxygen. The total pressure (740 mmHg) includes the vapor pressure of water at 27°C, which is 26.7 mmHg.

Subtract the vapor pressure of water from the total pressure to find the pressure of the dry gas:

Pdry gas = Ptotal - Pwater vapor

Pdry gas = 740 mmHg - 26.7 mmHg = 713.3 mmHg

Use the Ideal Gas Law to convert the volume of dry gas to STP conditions.

Remember that STP is 0°C (273.15 K) and 1 atm (760 mmHg).

Using the combined gas law: (P₁ * V₁ / T₁) = (P₂ * V₂ / T₂)

V₂ = (P₁ * V₁ * T₂) / (P₂ * T₁)

Insert the values: P₁ = 713.3 mmHg, V₁ = 120 mL, T₁ = 300.15 K (27°C + 273.15), P₂ = 760 mmHg, T₂ = 273.15 K

[tex]V_2 = \frac{713.3 \, \text{mmHg} \times 120 \, \text{mL} \times 273.15 \, \text{K}}{760 \, \text{mmHg} \times 300.15 \, \text{K}}[/tex]

V₂ ≈ 95.3 mL

Therefore, the volume of the dry oxygen gas at STP is approximately 95.3 mL.

Balancing in terms of moles also reflects this law, ensuring the same amount of each element is present throughout the reaction.

The law of conservation of matter is a fundamental principle in chemistry, stating that matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction. In other words, the total mass of the reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products. This law is applied when balancing chemical equations, ensuring that there is the same number of each type of atom on both the reactant and product sides of the equation.

To illustrate, consider a simple chemical reaction where hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to form water:
2 H₂ (g) + O₂ (g) -> 2 H₂O (l).
Balancing this equation, we ensure that there are four hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms on both sides, reflecting the conservation of matter. No matter is lost or gained in the process; it is simply rearranged into a different form.

When dealing with stoichiometry and balancing chemical equations in terms of moles, the same principle applies. The number of moles of each element must be conserved across the reaction. This means that for a reaction balanced in moles, the total number of moles of each element in the reactants will equal the total number of moles of each element in the products, satisfying the law of conservation of matter.
