Answer:

The answer to the question is

The source of the nitro- gen and oxygen atoms is from the atmosphere

Explanation:

When gasoline burns oxygen from the atmosphere supports the combustion reaction.

For example the internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle pulls in air from the surrounding atmosphere to make use of the oxygen in aiding the combustion of the gasoline to drive the pistons that ultimately moves the vehicle. The air from which the oxygen is absorbed also contains more amount of Nitrogen by percentage than oxygen. The nitrogen therefore enters into the combustion reaction that eventually produces nitrogen oxide and nitrogen dioxide

Explanation:

When fuels are burned either in vehicle engines or other processes, high temperatures are reached. At these high temperatures, nitrogen and oxygen from the air(which oxygen and nitrogen have significant percentages) combine to produce nitrogen monoxide. When this nitrogen monoxide is released from these systems, it combines with oxygen in the air to form nitrogen dioxide.

The radioisotope phosphorus-32 is used in tracers for measuring phosphorus uptake by plants. The half-life of phosphorus-32 is 1
Harman [31]

Answer:

54 days

Explanation:

We have to use the formula;

0.693/t1/2 =2.303/t log Ao/A

Where;

t1/2= half-life of phosphorus-32= 14.3 days

t= time taken for the activity to fall to 7.34% of its original value

Ao=initial activity of phosphorus-32

A= activity of phosphorus-32 after a time t

Note that;

A=0.0734Ao (the activity of the sample decreased to 7.34% of the activity of the original sample)

Substituting values;

0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log Ao/0.0734Ao

0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log 1/0.0734

0.693/14.3 = 2.6/t

0.048=2.6/t

t= 2.6/0.048

t= 54 days

Which of the following statements is true about the food chain below? Grass ⇒ grasshopper ⇒ bird ⇒ hawk The amount of energy tra
lorasvet [3.4K]

In a food chain we arrange the energy in the form of a pyramid.

The producers are on the base of pyramid and then consumers are towards peak.

in the given food chain grass is being eaten by grasshopper which are food of birds.

Grasshoppers are also eaten up by Hawks. so both brids and hawks are feeding upon grasshoppers thus the amount of energy transferred from the grass to the grasshopper is the same as the amount of energy transferred from the grasshopper to the bird.

How are carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere affected by tectonic uplift of rocks and their resultant chemical weatheri
valina [46]

Answer:

The levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere are reduced

Explanation:

Tectonic uplift refers to the process by which the surface of the earth slowly rises either due to increasing upward force applied from the plates below the surface or decreasing downward force or weight of objects like melting glaciers acting from above. During uplift, land, as well as the sea floor rises forming mountains, plateaus and volcanic Islands.

During the process of weathering, carbon dioxide present in air combines with rainwater and forms carbonic acid. This acidic rainwater then falls on uplifted mountains and rocks weathering them in the process. Minerals present in the rock such as calcium, magnesium and sodium then combine with bicarbonate ions to form carbonates such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate which are found in shells of living and dead organisms and also form rocks such as limestone. In this way, carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.
