How does the phosphorous cycle differ from the nitrogen cycle and the carbon cycle?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ahat [919]3 years ago

A good way to answer this would be to think about what the major sinks of each resource are. For example phosphorus is mainly pooled in rocks and is released when rocks are weathered and then cycles with the death and decay of plants (etc.) that take it up.

It doesn't occur like this for the nitrogen and carbon cycles - what are their major sinks?

I've attached a pdf which outlines the cycles pretty well :)

1. 5 ethyl, 2 methyl octane
2. 1 ethyl, 2 methyl cyclopentane
3. 3,3,5,5- tetrafluoro heptane
4. 3,4-dimethyl hexene
5. 3,4-dimethyl cyclobutene
6. 3,5 diisopropyl cyclohexene
7. 3,3,4 trimethyl pentyne
8. 2,6 dibromo phenol

keep in mind that between 4-7, there could be #1 in front of the main name. for example with #4: 3,4-dimethyl-1- hexene. this honestly depends on the professor how he/she likes it. It is not necessary because if the number is not specified, it is assumed is #1

A 10-gram aluminum cube absorbs 677 joules when its temperature is increased from 50°C to 125°C. What is the specific heat of al
ra1l [238]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.90J/g°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given:

Mass of Aluminium = 10 g

Quantity of heat = 677 Joules

Change in temperature = 125°C - 50°C

                                      = 75°C

We are required to calculate the specific heat capacity of Aluminium

But, Quantity of heat = Mass × specific heat × Change in temperature

Q = mcΔt

Rearranging the formula;

c = Q ÷ mΔt

  = 677 J ÷ (10 g × 75°C)

  = 677 J ÷ 750g°C

  = 0.903 J/g°C

  = 0.90J/g°C

Thus, the specific heat capacity of Aluminium is 0.90J/g°C

A student is asked to standardize a solution of barium hydroxide. He weighs out 0.978 g potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHC8H4O4,
Sav [38]

Answer:

(A) 0.129 M

(B) 0.237 M

Explanation:

(A) The reaction between potassium hydrogen phthalate and barium hydroxide is:

  • 2HA + Ba(OH)₂ → BaA₂ + 2H₂O

Where A⁻ is the respective anion of the monoprotic acid (KC₈H₄O₄⁻).

We <u>convert mass of phthalate to moles</u>, using its molar mass:

  • 0.978 g ÷ 156 g/mol = 9.27x10⁻³ mol = 9.27 mmol

Now we <u>convert mmol of HA to mmol of Ba(OH)₂</u>:

  • 9.27 mmol HA * \frac{1mmolBa(OH)_{2}}{2mmolHA} = 6.64 mmol Ba(OH)₂

Finally we calculate the molarity of the Ba(OH)₂ solution:

  • 6.64 mmol / 35.8 mL = 0.129 M

(B) The reaction between Ba(OH)₂ and HCl is:

  • 2HCl + Ba(OH)₂ → BaCl₂ + 2H₂O

So<u> the moles of HCl that reacted </u>are:

  • 17.1 mL * 0.129 M * \frac{2mmolHCl}{1mmolBa(OH)_2} = 4.41 mmol HCl

And the <u>molarity of the HCl solution is</u>:

  • 4.41 mmol / 18.6 mL = 0.237 M

How many protons, electrons, and neutrons does an atom with atomic number
sergey [27]

Answer:

protons : 10

electron : 10

neutron : 10

Explanation:

Protons will usually be the same as the electrons when its a <u>Atom</u> (when its a ion or covalent bond or simple bond they will most likely be different)

the atomic number represents protons and electrons

the mass number - the atomic number = neutron
