How does carbon enter soil?

2 answers:

6 0

Animals and plants get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned. When humans burn fossil fuels to power factories, power plants, cars and trucks, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas. I hope this works!

When something carbon based is in the soil. For example when you bury a cat or a body, it slowly decomposes, that carbon that was in the body gets absorbed by the soil. It goes back to the earth. That soil with "new" carbon is soil rich in nutrients etc. hope this helps

How does a catalyst increase the rate of a reaction?

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

C) It provides a lower activation energy for the reaction is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A catalyst increases the rate of the chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy for a reaction.

Catalyst is used to increase the reaction rate, it remains unchanged in the chemical reaction and it does not change the equilibrium constant.

Activation energy is a minimum amount of energy required to initiate the reaction.

How does a negative ion differ from a positive?

Ilya [14]

A negative ion or anion is an electrically charged atom or group of atoms that are formed by gaining one or more electrons. Whereas a positive ion or cation is an electrically charged atom or group of atoms that are formed by losing one or more electrons.
The losing and gaining all occurs on the outermost shell.

In acidic aqueous solution, the purple complex ion Co(NH3)5Br2+ undergoes a slow reaction in which the bromide ion is replaced b

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

A) 0.065 M is its molarity after a reaction time of 19.0 hour.

B) In 52 hours $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ will react 69% of its initial concentration.

Explanation:

$Co(NH_3)_5(H_2O)_3+[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}(Purple)(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow [Co(NH_3)_5(H_2O)]^{3+}(Pinkish-orange)(aq)+Br^-(aq)$

The reaction is first order in $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ :

Initial concentration of $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ = $[A_o]=0.100 M$

a) Final concentration of $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ after 19.0 hours= $[A]$

t = 19.0 hour = 19.0 × 3600 seconds ( 1 hour = 3600 seconds)

Rate constant of the reaction = k = $6.3\times 10^{-6} s^{-1}$

The integrated law of first order kinetic is given as:

$[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-kt}$

$[A]=0.100 M\times e^{-6.3\times 10^{-6} s^{-1}\times 19.0\times 3600 s}$

$[A]=0.065 M$

0.065 M is its molarity after a reaction time of 19.0 h.

Initial concentration of $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ = $[A_o]=x$

Final concentration of $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ after t = $[A]=(100\%-69\%) x=31\%x=0.31x$

Rate constant of the reaction = k = $6.3\times 10^{-6} s^{-1}$

The integrated law of first order kinetic is given as:

$[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-kt}$

$0.31x=x\times e^{-6.3\times 10^{-6} s^{-1}\t}$

t = 185,902.06 s = $\frac{185,902.06 }{3600} hour = 51.64 hours$ ≈ 52 hours

In 52 hours $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ will react 69% of its initial concentration.

How mamy moles of NaCl will be produced from 83.0g of Na, assuming Cl2 is available in excess

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

3.62moles

Explanation:

First let us generate a balanced equation for the reaction

2Na + Cl2 —> 2NaCl

Molar Mass of Na = 23g/mol

Mass of Na from the balanced equation = 2 x 23 = 46g

Molar Mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol

Mass of NaCl from the balanced equation = 2 x 58.5 = 117g

From the question,

46g of Na produced 117g of NaCl.

Therefore, 83g of Na will produce = (83 x 117)/46 = 211.11g of NaCl

Converting this mass (211.11g of NaCl) to mole, we obtain:

n = Mass /Molar Mass

n = 211.11/ 58.5
