Answer:

A. N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) -----> 2NH₃ exothermic

B. S(g) + O₂(g) --------> SO₂(g) exothermic

C. 2H₂O(g) --------> 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) endothermic

D. 2F(g) ---------> F₂(g) exothermic

Explanation:

The question says predict not calculate. So you have to use your chemistry knowledge, experience and intuition.

A. N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) -----> 2NH₃ is exothermic because the Haber process gives out energy

B. S(g) + O₂(g) --------> SO₂(g) is exothermic because it is a combustion. The majority, if not all, combustion give out energy.

C. 2H₂O(g) --------> 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) is endothermic because it is the reverse reaction of the combustion of hydrogen. If the reverse reaction is exothermic then the forward reaction is endothermic

D. 2F(g) ---------> F₂(g) is exothermic because the backward reaction is endothermic. Atomisation is always an endothermic reaction so the forward reaction is exothermic

How do weather models predict the weather?

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Weather forecasters often discuss the models they use to help predict the weather. ... Weather observations (pressure, wind, temperature and moisture) obtained from ground sensors and weather satellites are fed into these equations. The observations are brought into the models in a process known as data assimilation.

based on the general trends on intermolecular forces, rank c2h5oh, hcl, and c3h6 in order of increasing boiling point.

nikklg [1K]

The answer is HCl, C3H6 and C2H5OH. Hydrochloric acid has the lowest boiling point among the three choices since it only has weak dipole-dipole and Van der Waal's forces between molecules which are much weaker than the forces of attraction present in propane and ethanol. Ethanol has the highest since the hydrogen bonding present in ethanol make it hard to break the bonds.

What does the nucleus do

mel-nik [20]

The nucleus is the organelle present in eukaryotic cells with the main function in the control of all cell activities and maintaining the gene integrity. Namely, it contains the genetic material of the cell in the form of chromosomes (DNA molecules in complex with proteins). It is enclosed by the nuclear membrane which regulates the movement of proteins and RNA in and out of the nucleus.

two kilogram of nasialo4 zeolites are used in a water filter to remove calcium. after complete ion exchange the zeolite is remov

defon

After ion exchange with zeolite in water filter to remove calcium by substitute natrium ion with calcium ion, the weight of zeolite become 1.9578 kg.

ion exchange calculation can be done by using basic stoichiometry if we know how the reaction of the ion exchange. In this case where zeolite with natrium ion will be exchanged with calcium. The reaction of exchange will be like this:

$2NaSiAlO_{4} + Ca^{2+}$ ⇒ $Ca(SiAlO_{4}) _{2} + 2Na^{+}$

Calculate the molecule weight of both zeolite
Atomic weight data:
Na = 23 gram/mole

Si = 28 gram/mole

Al = 27 gram/mole

O = 16 gram/mole

Ca = 40 gram/mole

Molecule weight

$NaSiAlO_{4}$ = 142 gram/mole

$Ca(SiAlO_{4}) _{2}$ = 278 gram/mole

Calculate mole from 2kg of zeolite with natrium :

2000 gram/ 142 = 14.0845 mole

Based on the stoichiometry, we got the mole of zeolite with calcium:

14.0845 mole x 1/2 = 7.0423 mole

Weight of zeolite after the ion exchanged with calcium:

7.0423 mole x 278 = 1957.8 gram = 1.9578 kg
