What was the main reason why Alfred Wegener's theory about the movement of the continents was dismissed in 1912?

eduard

Answer:

His map of the ocean floor did not support his theory

Explanation:

Alfred Wegner was a great scientist
He observed the plate tectonics of earth and described it in a theory.
It was dismissed after viewing his ocean floor

The acid-dissociation constant for benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) is 6.3×10−5. Calculate the equilibrium concentration of H3O+ in the s

raketka [301]

Answer : The equilibrium concentration of $H_3O^+$ in the solution is, $2.1\times 10^{-3}M$

Explanation :

The dissociation of acid reaction is:

$C_6H_5COOH+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^++C_6H_5COO^-$

Initial conc. c 0 0

At eqm. c-x x x

Given:

c = $7.0\times 10^{-2}M$

$K_a=6.3\times 10^{-5}$

The expression of dissociation constant of acid is:

$K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][C_6H_5COO^-]}{[C_6H_5COOH]}$

$K_a=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(c-x)}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$6.3\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{[(7.0\times 10^{-2})-x]}$

$x=2.1\times 10^{-3}M$

Thus, the equilibrium concentration of $H_3O^+$ in the solution is, $2.1\times 10^{-3}M$

Can someone SCIENTIFICALLY explain to me the formation of all types of Acid Rain? Plz

faust18 [17]

so basically

some fuels have an impurity in them which is sulfur.

When the fuel undergoes combustion, the sulfur reacts with oxygen in the air to form sulfur dioxide.

the sulfur dioxide reacts with water vapour in the air to form sulfurous acid, which is a type of acid rain.

Also

the high pressures inside a car engine may cause nitrogen and oxygen in the air to react and form oxides of nitrogen. the most common compounds formed inside car engines are NO (nitrogen oxide) and NO2 (nitrogen dioxide)

What is the volume of 14.0g of nitrogen gas at STP?

lozanna [386]

Answer:

The volume of 14.0 g of nitrogen gas at STP is 11.2 liter.

Explanation:

STP stands for standard pressure and temperature.

The International Institute of of Pure and Applied Chemistry, IUPAC changed the definition of standard temperature and pressure (STP) in 1982:

Before the change, STP was defined as a temperature of 273.15 K and an absolute pressure of exactly 1 atm (101.325 kPa).

After the change, STP is defined as a temperature of 273.15 K and an absolute pressure of exactly 105 Pa (100 kPa, 1 bar).

Using the ideal gas equation of state, PV = nRT you can calculate the volume of one mole (n = 1) of gas. With the former definition, the volume of a mol of gas at STP, rounded to 3 significant figures, was 22.4 liter. This is classical well known result.

With the later definition, the volume of a mol of gas at STP is 22.7 liter.

I will use the traditional measure of 22.4 liter per mole of gas.

1) Convert 14.0 g of nitrogen gas to number of moles:

n = mass in grams / molar mass

Atomic mass of nitrogen: 14.0 g/mol

Nitrogen gas is a diatomic molecule, so the molar mass of nitrogen gas = molar mass of N₂ = 14.0 × 2 g/mol = 28.0 g/mol

n = 14.0 g / 28.0 g/mol = 0.500 mol

2) Set a proportion to calculate the volume of nitrogen gas:

22.4 liter / mol = x / 0.500 mol

Solve for x: x = 0.500 mol × 22.4 liter / mol = 11.2 liter.

Conclusion: the volume of 14.0 g of nitrogen gas at STP is 11.2 liter.
