can you catch coronavirus from F.A.R.Ts?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Droplets or aerosols. When an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, droplets or tiny particles called aerosols carry the virus into the air from their nose or mouth. Anyone who is within 6 feet of that person can breathe it into their lungs.

Airborne transmission. Research shows that the virus can live in the air for up to 3 hours. It can get into your lungs if someone who has it breathes out and you breathe that air in.

Surface transmission. Another way to catch the new coronavirus is when you touch surfaces that someone who has the virus has coughed or sneezed on. You may touch a countertop or doorknob that's contaminated and then touch your nose, mouth, or eyes. The virus can live on surfaces like plastic and stainless steel for 2 to 3 days. To stop it, clean and disinfect all counters, knobs, and other surfaces you and your family touch several times a day.

Fecal-oral. Studies also suggest that virus particles can be found in infected people's poop. But experts aren't sure whether the infection can spread through contact with an infected person's stool. If that person uses the bathroom and doesn't wash their hands, they could infect things and people that they touch.

A student is reading the volume from a standard 50-mL buret identical to what you used in the lab. The bottom of the meniscus is exactly on the 20-mL line. What should she record as the correct volume

Answers

Answer:

20 mL

Explanation:

The student should record 20 mL as the correct volume.

The curved surface of a liquid that is usually observed in a buret is referred to as the meniscus. This meniscus is created as a result of the surface tension of the liquid against the walls of the buret. Hence, in order to avoid errors due to parallax, the bottom of the meniscus should be read and not the top.

Therefore, the correct volume that the student should record is 20 mL.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{94.9\ grams}[/tex]

Explanation:

Relative formula mass of phosphate:

=> [tex]PO_{4}[/tex]  [Ignoring the charge on it]

Atomic mass of P = 31.0 grams, O = 15.9 grams

=>  30.97 + 4(15.9)

=> 30.97 + 63.9

=> 94.87

94.9 grams [To nearest tenth]

Answer:

[tex]\huge \boxed{\mathrm{D. \ 94.9 \ grams}}[/tex]

Explanation:

Phosphate chemical formula is given as,

[tex]\sf PO_4[/tex]

There is one phosphorus atom and four oxygen atoms.

Atomic mass of Phosphorus [tex]\sf P[/tex] = 30.974 grams

Atomic mass of Oxygen [tex]\sf O[/tex] = 15.999 grams

[tex]\Rightarrow 30.974 + 4(15.999)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 30.974+ 63.996[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 94.97[/tex]

The relative formula mass of phosphate [tex]\sf PO_4[/tex] is 94.9 grams.

A pharmaceutical company is making a large volume of nitrous oxide (NO). They predict they will be able to make a maximum amount of 4860 grams with the materials they have in stock. From the previous 10 volumes they have made, they know that the percent yield of this reaction is fairly low at 47%. How much will the actual yield be? A. 228 grams B. 2284 grams C. 10340 grams D. 486 grams

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "Option B"

Explanation:

From the query, the following knowledge is derived:  

Yield in percentage = 47%  

Performance of theory = 4860 g  

Actual yield Rate =?  

The percentage return is defined simply by the ratio between both the real return as well as the conceptual return multiplied by the 100. It's also represented as numerically:

[tex]Rate = \frac{Existing \ Rate} {Theoretical \ Rate} \times 100[/tex]

Now We can obtain the percent yield as followed using the above formula:  

[tex]\text{Yield in percentage}= \frac{Actual \ yield \ Rate} {Theorical \ Rate} \times 100[/tex]

[tex]47\% = \frac{Actual \ yield \ Rate}{4860}[/tex]

The value of the Actual yield Rate =[tex]47\% \times 4860[/tex]

                                                        [tex]= \frac{47}{100} \times 4860 \\\\ = 2284.2 g[/tex]

The Actual yield Rate= 2284.2 g.

A sample of 0.562 g of carbon is burned in oxygen in a bomb calorimeter, producing carbon dioxide. Assume both the reactants and products are under standard state conditions, and that the heat released is directly proportional to the enthalpy of combustion of graphite. The temperature of the calorimeter increases from 26.74 °C to 27.93 °C. What is the heat capacity of the calorimeter and its contents?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is 15.54 kJ per degree C.

Explanation:

The enthalpy change for one mole of a substance, which combines or burns with the oxygen under the standard conditions, that is, at 25 degree C and 1 bar pressure is known as the standard molar enthalpy of combustion. The amount of heat transferred can be calculated by using the formula, q = mcΔT -------------(i)

Here q is the amount of heat transferred, c is the specific heat, ΔT is the change in temperature, and m is the mass of the substance. As in case of bomb calorimeter, mass if considered constant, thus, for calorimeter the equation mentioned will become, q = cΔT ---- (ii)

The standard molar enthalpy of combustion for carbon is -393.5 kJ/mol, that is, -393.5 kJ per mole of heat is generated by burning one mole of carbon. The molecular mass of carbon is 12 gram per mole.  

Thus, the number of moles of carbon equivalent to 0.562 grams of carbon can be determined as,  

Number of moles of carbon = mass / molecular mas

= 0.562 grams / 12 gram per mole

= 0.047 mol

The heat generated by burning 0.562 grams or 0.047 mole will be,  

q = ΔH° × number of moles

= (-393.51 kJ/mol) × 0.047 mol

= -18.49 kJ, the negative sign shows that the heat is produced.  

To find heat capacity of calorimeter, put the value of q as -18.49 kJ, for ΔT as (27.93 °C - 26.74 °C) in the equation (ii)

18.49 kJ = c × (27.93 - 26.74)

c = 18.49 kJ/1.19 °C

c = 15.54 kJ/°C

D
The native species would not have to
compete for necessary resources,

Answers

The correct answer is D. The native species would not have to  compete for necessary resources

Explanation:

Invasive species, which include any living organism that is not native in an ecosystem, contribute to the extinction of native species as they compete for resources such as food, shelter, etc. with native species. For example, the  Asian Carp, which was introduced to lakes in the U.S. consumes plankton, which reduces the amount of plankton available for native fish. In this context, by removing invasive species native species would not have to compete for resources and their chances to extinct will fall.

What happens when two objects when they are brought closer together The mass of both objects decrease The mass of both objects increase The gravitational force between them decreases The gravitational force between them increases

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is

The gravitational force between them increases

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the force of attraction between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance of their centers from each other.

The formula for universal gravitation is given as follows;

[tex]F_{1} = F_{2} =G \times \dfrac{m_{1} \times m_{2}}{r^{2}}[/tex]

Where;

F₁, and F₂ = The gravitational forces of attraction on each mass

G = The gravitational constant

m₁ = The mass of one body

m₂ = The mass of the body

r = The distance between the centers of the two bodies

Therefore, the gravitational force of attraction on each object is inversely proportional to the as the distance between the centers of the two bodies

When the distance between the centers of the two bodies decreases, the two objects are brought closer together, the gravitational force of attraction between them increases.

Answer:

Gravitational force between two objects of masses m1/m2

Explanation:

is defined by Gm1xm2/r^2, where G is a universal constant, and r is the distance between the masses. This shows you why B is wrong; it would increase. Also, A is not a good choice, as shown. In the case of B, it would increase by say, 2/1 to 4/1 by doubling ones mass. In C's case the bottom would decrease on the fraction alot (square) if they were moved closer, thus the force would be greater.

Explanation:

in other words the  answer is The gravitational force between them increases

What is the weight of a 98 kg astronaut on the Mars where the value of the gravitational pull is 3.711 m/s2?
What is his mass on earth? What is his weight on Venus where the gravitational pull is 8.87 m/s2?


Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

given mass on earth =98 kg

gravitational pull on mars =3.711 m/s2

gravitational pull on venus =8.87 m/s2

weight of the body on mars =weight on earth/9.81 m/s2 *3.711 m/s2

W=98 kg*3.711 /9.81m/s2

W=37.07 kg

weight on the venus =weight on earth*8.87 m/s2 /9.81 m/s2

W= 98 kg*7.87 m/s2/9.81 m/s2

W=78.62 kg

Which statement best describes a compound formed by an ionic bond?

A) negatively charged
B) neutral
C) contains multiple charges
D) positively charged​

Answers

Answer:

B. Neutral

Explanation:

When there is a ionic bond,  one element steals or takes away an electron from the other element.

An example is NaCl

In this compound, Chlorine atom steals an extra electron from Sodium to fill its outer shell. So, this is a Ionic bond. Since, the Sodium compound gives away an atom, it is positively charged. Since, Chlorine steals an atom, it is negatively charged. Opposite charges attract, so they become a compound.

When positive and negative mix, it becomes neutral.

(2) We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that this nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate we cannot consecrate we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph of this speech? A. It clearly and directly states the counterclaim. B. It introduces the topic and hooks the audience. C. It gives the speaker's history for common ground. D. It provides a transition between arguments. Help me PLS. Does anyone know the correct solution?
