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.

Water and salt are compounds made of the combination of more than
inn [45]

Answer:

A. Because they are compounds, they cannot be pure substances.

Explanation:

The false statement from the given choices is that because they are compounds they cannot be pure substances. In fact, because they are compounds they are pure substances.

Pure substances are made up of elements and compounds and they have the following properties:

  • All parts are the same throughout
  • Composition is definite
  • They cannot easily be separated or broken
  • Separation by physical method is not easy
  • They have unique sets of physical and chemical properties.

Using the solubility graph place the substances in order from most soluble (#1) to least soluble at 40°C. KNO3, NaClO3,KBr, NaCl
mestny [16]

Answer:

  • NaClO₃ > KBr > KNO₃ > NaCl.

Explanation:

The attached file contains the graph with the solubility curves for the four substances, KNO₃, NaClO₃, KBr, NaCl.

To determine the solubility of each salt at a certain temperature, you read the temperature on the horizontal axis, labeled Temperature (ºC), and move upward up to intersecting the curve of the corresponding salt. Then, move horizontally up to insersceting the vertical axis, labeled Solubility (g/100g of H₂O), to read the solubility.

The higher the reading on the vertical axis, the higher the solubility.

The red vertical line that I added is at a temperature of 40ºC.

The number in blue indicate the order in which the solubility curves are intersected at that temperature:

  • 4: NaCl: this is the lowest solubility
  • 3: KNO₃: this is the second lowest solubility
  • 2: KBr: this is the third lowest solubility
  • 1: NaClO₃: this is the highest solubility.

Thus, the rank, from most soluble to least soluble is:

  • NaClO₃ > KBr > KNO₃ > NaCl.

What happens to the number of waves when you decrease the wavelength?
Keith_Richards [23]

C

Decreasing the wavelength increases the frequency of a wave and vice versa, as long as the energy of the wave remains constant.

Explanation:

The energy of a wave is given by the formula;

E= hf

Whereby;

E = energy

h = Plank’s constant

f = frequency

Remember that f can be also represented as;

¹/ λ

Whereby;

λ = wavelength

Wavelength and frequency are therefore inversely proportional.

Decreasing the wavelength increases the frequency of a wave and vice versa, as long as the energy of the wave remains constant.

Which of the following results from acid deposition? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following results from acid deposition?
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Objects made of stone, like marble headstones, are worn away.

Explanation:

Acid deposition on earth is mostly as a result of acid rain. Acid rain forms which oxides of non-metals such as nitrogen and carbon dissolves in rain water to produce weak acid.

This weak acid that is produced easily wears away materials made up of marble and other sculptures. The most active of the acid is weak carbonic acid produced by dissolution of carbon dioxide in rain water.

4. Ammonia is produced by the chemical reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen. N2 (g) + 3H2(g) →→ 2NH3 (9) (A) Calculate the number o
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

a) No. of moles of hydrogen needed = 5.4 mol

b) Grams of ammonia produced = 27.2 g

Explanation:

N_2 (g)  +  3H_2(g) \rightarrow 2NH_3 (g)

a)

No. of moles of nitrogen = 1.80 mol

1 mole of nitrogen reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen

1.80 moles of nitrogen will react with

                               = 1.80 × 3 = 5.4 moles of hydrogen

b)

No. of moles of hydrogen = 2.4 mol

It is given that nitrogen is present in sufficient amount.

3 moles of hydrogen produce 2 moles of NH_3

2.4 moles of hydrogen will produce

                              = \frac{2}{3} \times 2.4 = 1.6\ mol\ of\ NH_3

Molar mass of ammonia = 17 g/mol

Mass in gram = No. of moles × Molar mass

Mass of ammonia in g = 1.6 × 17

                                    = 27.2 g
