Answer 1: Option(B) Nitrogen

Explanation:

The earth's atmosphere comprises of different gases which are Nitrogen(78%), plenty of Oxygen(21%), argon(0.9%) and remaining are the methane, gaseous oxides etc. So Nitrogen is present in largest quantity in the earth's atmosphere.

Answer 2: Option(D) Ozone

Explanation:

The Stratosphere is the second lowest layer of the earth. It contains the ozone which absorbs the UV rays coming form the sun because of which there is a rise in temperature than other layers.

Answer 3: Option(A) Heat from the earths core

Explanation:

The heat energy coming from the Sun heats the earth non-uniformly that results in the hot and cold area on the earth causes low and high air pressure.The Sun heats the earth core. When there is a hot weather the land near the sea becomes hot in comparison with the sea results in the hot wind flow from the sea.

Suppose we have a compound that is 4.330 % Li, 22.10 % Cl, 39.89 % O, and 33.69 % H2O. What is the compounds formula?

amid [387]

The formula of compound is LiClO4.3H2O

<em><u>calculation</u></em>

<em><u> </u></em>find the mole of each element

that is moles for Li,Cl,O and that of H2O

moles = % composition/ molar mass

For Li = 4.330/ 6.94 g/mol= 0.624 moles

Cl=22.10/35.5=0.623 moles

39.89/16 g/mol =2.493 moles

H20= 33.69/18 g/mol= 1.872 moles

find the mole ratio by dividing each moles by smallest number of mole ( 0.624 moles)

that is for Li= 0.624/0.623= 1

Cl= 0.623/0.623=1

O = 2.493/0.623 =4

H2O= 1.872/0.623=3

<h3>Therefore the formula=LiClO4.3H2O</h3><h3 />

Significant digits are the number of digits that reflect the precision of a measurement or number.

Delvig [45]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Significant digits are numbers that helps to present the precision of measurements calculations.

Numbers that do not contribute to the precision of a reading should not be counted as significant.

There are rules of assigning significant numbers:

Leading or trailing zeros are insignificant and should only be counted as a place holder.
All non-zero digits are significant
Zeroes between non-zero digits are significant.
Leading zeros in a decimal are significant before the number.
All the numbers in a scientific notation are significant.

Ethanol (c2h5oh) melts at -114Â°c. the enthalpy of fusion is 5.02 kj/mol. the specific heats of solid and liquid ethanol are 0.9

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: 4.18925 kJ heat is needed to convert 25.0 g of solid ethanol at -135 °C to liquid ethanol at -50°C.

Explanation:

Temperature of Solid $C_2H_5OH=-135^oC=138 K(0^oC=273K)$

Melting temperature of Solid $C_2H_5OH=114^oC=159 K$

Temperature of liquid $C_2H_5OH=-50^oC=223K$

Specific heats of solid ethanol = 0.97 J/gK

Specific heats of liquid ethanol = 2.3 J/gK

Heat required to melt the the 25 g solid $C_2H_5OH$ at 159 K

$\Delta T_1$ = 159 K - 138 K = 21 K

$Q_1=mc\Delta T= 25\times 0.97J/gK\times 21 K=509.25 J$

Heat required to melt and raise the temperature of $C_2H_5OH$ upto 223 K

$\Delta T_2$ = 223 K - 159 K = 64 K

$Q_2=mc\Delta T= 25\times 2.3J/gK\times 64 K=3680 J$

Total heat to convert solid ethanol to liquid ethanol at given temperature :

$Q_1+Q_2=509.25 J+3680 J=4189.25 J=4.18925 kJ$ (1kJ=1000J)

Hence, 4.18925 kJ of heat will be required to convert 25.0 g of solid ethanol at -135 °C to liquid ethanol at -50°C.

Which of the following are weak electrolytes in aqueous solutions? Select ALL that apply.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Weak electrolytes are

HgCl2 and NH₃

Explanation:

Electrolytes are compounds that conduct electricity while in molten or aqueous form.
Electrolytes may therefore be decomposed by passing electric current through them.

They may be either strong or weak electrolytes.

Strong electrolytes are those that ionize completely to form mobile ions while weak electrolytes ionize partially to generate ions.

Examples of weak electrolytes are HgCl2, NH₃
Examples of strong electrolytes are LiOH, HClO₄, and HI.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous molecule with lipid solu- bility similar to that of O2 and CO2. Endothelial cells lining arteries

svp [43]

Answer:

$NO$ passively diffuses down its concentration gradient through the endothelial cell plasma membrane out of the cell and then passiveley diffuses through the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm of the smooth muscle cell, where it acts to decrease contraction.

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, we must consider that $O_2$ and $CO_2$ , $NO$ passively diffuses through membranes. As it is produced by an enzyme and accumulates in the endothelial cell cytosol, $NO$ passively diffuses down its concentration gradient through the endothelial cell plasma membrane out of the cell and then passiveley diffuses through the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm of the smooth muscle cell, where it acts to decrease contraction.

Best regards
