Why do scientists think there is an undiscovered carbon sink somewhere?

Chemistry

The major carbon sources (reservoirs that release more carbon than absorbed) are: deforestation and fossil fuels

The major carbon sinks (reservoirs that absorb more carbon than released) are:
soil, oceans and plants.

When scientists calculate the amount of carbon dioxide is returned to the atmosphere vs the released the amount of carbon, a large amount is unaccounted for and the total does not add up. This is why scientists believe there is an undiscovered carbon sink somewhere.

According to the following reaction, how many grams of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are needed to form 32.0 grams of oxygen gas?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 34 g of H₂O₂    

Explanation:

Data

mass of H₂O₂ = ?

mass of O₂ = 32 g

Process

1.- Write the balanced chemical reaction

                   H₂O₂  ⇒   H₂  +  O₂

2.- Calculate the molar mass of H₂O₂ and O₂

Molar mass H₂O₂ = (1 x 2) + (16 x 2) = 34 g

Molar mass of O₂ = 2 x 16 = 32 g

3.- Use proportions to calculate the mass of O₂

                    34g of H₂O₂ -------------- 32g of O₂

                     x                   -------------- 32g of O₂

                          x = (32 x 34) / 32

                          x = 34 g of H₂O₂

11. 2073 Set D Q.No. 1 Ammonia molecule has got trigonal
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

I know that we usually associate the sp3 hybridization to the tetrahedral shape. This is common in molecules such as CH4. So it may sound somewhat strange that NH3 molecule has an sp3 hybridized nitrogen atom and a trigonal pyramidal geometry.

Let us recall that the central nitrogen atom in NH3 has a lone pair of electrons. These lone pairs causes more repulsion than bond pairs. As a result of the presence of this lone pair, the bond angle in the NH3 molecule is distorted away from the expected 109.7 degrees in tetrahedral geometry and the bonding groups are now arranged in a trigonal pyramidal geometry(with bond angle less than 109.7 degrees) to minimize electron pair repulsions.

A model of an atom shows eight electrons in rings that represent different energy levels. How many electrons are in each energy
Scilla [17]

Answer:

The correct option is;

C. Two in the first energy level, six in the second energy level

Explanation:

The electrons in an atom are arrange in orbital shells which are situated at different levels within the structure of the, depending on the energy of the electron. Electrons with the least amount of energy are found in the shell closest to the nucleus of the atom which is the first energy level

The maximum number of electrons that can be found in a given an energy level is obtained with the following formula;

The number of electron = 2 × n²

Where;

n = The number of the different energy level

Therefore;

The maximum number of electrons in the first energy where n = 1 is given as follows;

The number of electron = 2 × 1² = 2 electrons

The maximum number of electrons in the second energy level where n = 2 is given as follows;

The number of electron = 2 × 2² = 8 electrons

Given that there are only 8 electrons in the atom, we therefore have, 2 electrons in the first energy level and the remaining 8 - 2 = 6 electrons in the second energy level.

What is the mass of 6.02 x 10^23 atoms of arsenic?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Mass = 74.9 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of atoms of arsenic = 6.02×10²³ atoms

Mass of arsenic = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022× 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

one mole =  6.02×10²³ atoms

So number of moles of arsenic are 1 mol.

Mass of arsenic:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1 mol ×  74.9 g/mol

Mass = 74.9 g
