The unit 'mb' means millibar which is equivalent to 1/1000 of 1 bar. To convert the units from bar to atmospheres (atm) and to inches Hg (inHg), we need to know the conversion factors.

a.) 1 atm = 1.01325 bar

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(1 atm/1.01325 bar) =<em> 9.08×10⁻⁴ atm</em>

b.) 1 bar = 29.53 inHg

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(29.53 inHg/1 bar) =<em> 0.027 inHg</em>

What visible signs indicate a precipitation reaction when two solutions are mixed?
Illusion [34]

Formation of an insoluble solid

Explanation:

One of the remarkable visible signs that indicates a precipitation reaction when two solutions are mixed is the formation of an insoluble solid. The insoluble solid formed is the precipitate.

  • Precipitates usually forms in single replacement reactions and double replacement or double decomposition reactions.
  • They form when two soluble compounds react. One of the product is an insoluble solid in the solution called the precipitate.
  • The solubility table helps to predict whether precipitates forms in a reaction.

A 1000-kg car is driving toward the north along a straight horizontal road at a speed of 20.0 m/s. The driver applies the brakes
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 1000 kg

initial velocity, u = 20 m/s

final velocity, v = 0 m/s

distance, s = 120 m

Let a be the acceleration of motion

use third equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 as

0 = 20 x 20 + 2 x a x 120

a = - 1.67 m/s²

Let F be the force

Force, F  mass x acceleration

F = - 1000 x 1.67

F = - 1666.67 N

The direction of force is towards south and the magnitude of force is 1666.67 N.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
An activity that is relatively short in time <10 seconds and has few repetitions predominantly uses the ATP/PC energy system. The cellular respiration procedure that changes food energy into ATP which is a form of energy is largely reliant on oxygen obtainability. During exercise the source and request of oxygen obtainable to muscle is unnatural by period and strength and by the individual’s cardiorespiratory suitability level. 
Steps of the ATP-PC system:


1. Primarily, ATP kept in the myosin cross-bridges which is microscopic contractile parts of muscle is broken down to issue energy for muscle shrinkage.  This action consents the by-products of ATP breakdown which are the adenosine diphosphate and one single phosphate all on its own.


2. Phosphocreatine is then broken down by the enzyme creatine kinase into creatine and phosphate.


3. The energy free in the breakdown of PC permits ADP and Pi to rejoin creating more ATP.  This newly made ATP can now be broken down to issue energy to fuel activity.
