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.

We need to do unit conversion from miles to meter as the speed is given in meter per second.

1 mile = 1609.34 meter

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

= 40072566 meters

Know that, speed=\frac{distance}{time}

It's rearranged to time as, time=\frac{distance}{speed}

Let's plug in the values in it:

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

= 0.134 seconds

So, the light would take 0.134 seconds to travel the mentioned speed. The answer without the unit is 0.134.

How many molecules of CBr4 are in 250 grams of CBr4
Kazeer [188]

Answer:- 4.54*10^2^3 molecules.

Solution:- The grams of tetrabromomethane are given and it asks to calculate the number of molecules.

It is a two step unit conversion problem. In the first step, grams are converted to moles on dividing the grams by molar mass.

In second step, the moles are converted to molecules on multiplying by Avogadro number.

Molar mass of CBr_4  = 12+4(79.9)  = 331.6 g per mol

let's make the set up using dimensional analysis:

250g(\frac{1mol}{331.6g})(\frac{6.022*10^2^3molecules}{1mol})

= 4.54*10^2^3 molecules

So, there will be 4.54*10^2^3 molecules in 250 grams of CBr_4 .

If 32.0 g of MgSO4⋅7H2O is thoroughly heated, what mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate will remain?
Arada [10]
Find moles of MgSO4.7H2O

molar mass = 246
so moles  = 32 / 246  = 0.13 moles.

When heated, all 7 H2O from 1 molecule will be gone. 
total moles of H2O present = 7 x 0.13 = 0.91
mass of those H2O = 0.91 x 18  = 16.38g

so mass of anyhydrous MgSO4 remain = 32 - 16.38 = 15.62 g

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

7.46 g

Explanation:

From the balanced equation, 2 moles of Mg is required for 2 moles of MgO.

The mole ratio is 1:1

mole = mass/molar mass

mole of 4.50 g Mg = 4.50/24.3 = 0.185 mole

0.185 mole Mg will tiled 0.185 MgO

Hence, theoretical yield of MgO in g

mass = mole x molar mass

            0.185 x 40.3 = 7.46 g
