m_a_m_a [10]3 years ago
3 0
"A cloud-to-ground lightning strike starts as a channel of negative charges makes its path towards the ground. This occurrence is known as a stepped leader. The stepped leader continues towards the ground in a series of steps that are each about 50 to 100 metres in length. This stepped leader can branch out in many directions. <span>A lightning strike refers to as a lightning flash, is usually made up of more than one stroke of lightning. After the initial strongest stroke, subsequent weaker strokes can follow which usually (but not always) follow the same path of the initial stroke. "</span>

35.2 J of heat is
ruslelena [56]

The specific heat : c = 0.306 J/g K

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Heat = 35.2 J

Mass = 16 g

Temperature difference : 7.2 K =

Required

The specific heat

Solution

Heat can be calculated using the formula:  

Q = mc∆T  

Q = heat, J  

m = mass, g  

c = specific heat, joules / g ° C  

∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K  

Input the value :

c = Q / m.∆T  

c = 35.2 / 16 x 7.2

c = 0.306 J/g K

Which of the following statements does NOT describe the anomeric carbon? A. This carbon is attached to two oxygens. B. This carb
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The answer is E. All of the statements describe the anomeric carbon.

Explanation:

When a sugar switches from its open form to its ring form, the carbon from the carbonyl (aldehyde if it is an aldose, or a ketone in the case of a ketose) suffers a nucleophilic addition by one of the hydroxyls in the chain, preferably one that will form a 5 or 6 membered ring after the reaction.

As such, the anomeric carbon will have two oxygens attached (The original one and the one that bonded when the ring closed).

It will be chiral, given that it has 4 different groups attached. (-OR,-OH,-H and -R, where R is the carbon chain).

The hydroxyl group can be in any position (Above of below the ring), depending on with side the addition took place. (See attachment)

It is the carbon of the carbonyl in the open-chain form of the sugar, because it is the only one that can react with the Hydroxyls.

What expression approximates the volume of O2 consumed, measure at STP, when 55 g of Al reacts completely with excess O2?2 Al(s)
nikdorinn [45]

Answer : The volume of O_2 consumed are, 0.75\times 2\times 22.4 L.

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

4Al(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Al_2O_3(s)

First we have to calculate the moles of Al.

\text{Moles of }Al=\frac{\text{Mass of }Al}{\text{Molar mass of }Al}

Molar mass of Al = 27 g/mole

\text{Moles of }Al=\frac{55g}{27g/mol}=2mole

Now we have to calculate the moles of O_2.

From the reaction we conclude that,

As, 4 mole of Al react with 3 moles of O_2

So, 2 mole of Al react with \frac{3}{4}\times 2=0.75\times 2 moles of O_2

Now we have to calculate the volume of O_2 consumed.

As we know that, 1 mole of substance occupies 22.4 liter volume of gas.

As, 1 mole of O_2 occupies 22.4 liter volume of O_2 gas

So, 0.75\times 2 mole of O_2 occupies 0.75\times 2\times 22.4 liter volume of O_2 gas

Therefore, the volume of O_2 consumed are, 0.75\times 2\times 22.4 L.

Calculate the average atomic mass of a
Vesna [10]

Answer: 207.217 amu

Work:

203.973 amu *(0.014) = 2.855 amu

205.974 amu *(0.241) = 49.639 amu

206.976 amu *(0.221) = 45.741 amu

207.977 amu *(0.524) = 108.979 amu

2.855 + 49.639 + 45.741 + 108.979 = <em><u>207.217amu</u></em>

I don’t understand how to solve this and I don’t get ionic equation
Elden [556K]

Explanation:

Spectator ions refers to elements/molecules that do not form part of the reaction. Basically, these elements/molecules are in the same state in the reactant and product side. From the given reaction, Ca and SO4 change their state from aqueous to solid and Na and Cl do not change their state. Therefore, Na and Cl are spectator ions and Ca and SO4 are not spectator ions.

Answer:

The correct option is C.
