The speed of light in a vacuum is 2.998 x 108 m/s. How long does it take for light to circumnavigate the Earth, which has a circumference of around 24,900 miles? Do not enter "seconds" as part of your answer. Watch your Sig Figs!

Which of the following statements is true? question 4 options: nuclear decay rates vary with the conditions of the reaction, but chemical reaction rates do not. chemical reaction rates vary with the conditions of the reaction, but nuclear decay rates do not. neither chemical reaction rates nor nuclear decay rates vary with the conditions of the reaction. both chemical reaction rates and nuclear decay rates vary with the conditions of the reaction.

Straightforward questions answered in the powerpoint slidesreaction: heating the starting materials under refluxwhat does it mean to heat under reflux? why do we choose water as the reflux solvent? what are boiling chips used for? why do we put a condenser on top of the reaction? why do we add heat and let the reaction stir for 30 minutes? why do we add sulfuric acid to the reaction after it cools as opposed to when it’s still hot? separation: filtration of precipitatewhy don’t we do an aqueous and organic extraction in the separatory funnel? why do you rinse the salicylic acid on the filter with ice cold water? purification: recrystallization of salicylic acid (no hot filtration needed)what is the difference in the amount of room temperature water vs. boiling water needed to dissolve the salicylic acid (assume a 1.2 gram yield of salicylic acid)? remember, in the lab if you need x ml of boiling water to dissolve a solid, then you should add a little more (definitely no more than 1.5 times the theoretical amount) to ensure it doesn’t recrystallize prematurely.analysis: melting point of salicylic acidwhat can you conclude if the melting point of the salicylic acid you just synthesized is 152-155oc and the 1: 1 mix of your product and “synthetic” salicylic acid is 151-154oc?

How would the number of moles (n) of o2 change if the atmospheric pressure doubled but all other variables stayed the same
