Oil is sucked up through wide floating heads and pumped into storage tanks. Although suction skimmers are generally very efficient, one disadvantage is that they are vulnerable to becoming clogged by debris and ice and require constant skilled observation.
Answer:
The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic. A pH greater than 7 is basic
Explanation:
Answer:
Molecular formula = C20H30
Explanation:
NB 440mg = 0.44g, 135mg= 0.135g
From the question, moles of CO2= 0.44/44= 0.01mol
Since 1 mol of CO2 contains 1mol of C, it implies mol of C = 0.01
Also from the question, moles of H2O = 0.135/18= 0.0075mole
Since 1 mol of H2O contains 2mol of H, it implies mol of H = 0.0075×2= 0.015 mol of H
To get the empirical formula, divide by smallest number of mole
Mol of C = 0.01/0.01=1
Mol of H = 0.015/0.01= 1.5
Multiply both by 2 to obtain a whole number
Mol of C =1×2 = 2
Mol of H= 1.5×2 = 3
Empirical formula= C2H3
[C2H3] not = 270
[ (2×12) + 3]n = 270
27n = 270
n=10
Molecular formula= [C2H3]10= C20H30
If uranium-241 lost 2 protons and 2 neutrons, then thorium-237 would be produced. The number beside the element is the mass number which is the sum of protons and neutrons. If uranium would lose 2 protons and 2 neutrons, then the mass number would decrease by 4 making it 237. Looking in a periodic table, thorium is the element which has a mass number of 237.
