The peak luminosity of a white dwarf supernova is around 1010 Lsun, and it remains brighter than 108 Lsun for about 150 days. In comparison, the luminosity of a bright Cepheid variable star is about 10,000 Lsun. The Hubble Space Telescope is sensitive enough to make accurate measurements of apparent brightness for Cepheid variable stars up to a distance of about 100 million light-years. Estimate the distance of a fading white dwarf supernova of luminosity 108 Lsun whose apparent brightness is comparable to that of a bright Cepheid variable star 100 million light-years from Earth. How does the distance of that supernova compare to the size of the observable universe?

Nacidified solution was electrolyzed using copper electrodes. a constant current of 1.18 a caused the anode to lose 0.584 g after 1.52 ✕ 103 s. given that the charge of an electron is 1.6022 ✕ 10−19 c, calculate avogadro's number. assume that copper is oxidized to cu2+ ions.
