Answer:

Pesticides are best described as toxic chemicals used to control pest populations.

Explanation:

Pest is a destructive insect or other animal that attacks crops. Pesticides are used by humans to allow crops to develop and be available to harvest, otherwise, a lot of plants would be destroyed and agriculture would be less efficient.

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The yearly release of CO_2 into the atmosphere is 6.73\times 10^{10} kg.

Explanation:

CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s) + CO_2(g)

Annual production of CaO = 8.6\times 10^{10} kg=8.6\times 10^{13} g

Moles of CaO :

\frac{8.6\times 10^{13} g}{56 g/mol}=1.53\times 10^{12} moles

According to reaction, 1 mole of CaO is produced along with 1 mole of carbon-dioxide.

Then along with  1.53\times 10^{12} moles of CaO moles of carbon-dioxide moles produced will be:

\frac{1}{1}\times 1.53\times 10^{12} moles=1.53\times 10^{12} moles of carbon-dioxide

Mass of 1.53\times 10^{12} moles of carbon-dioxide:

1.53\times 10^{12}mol\times 44 g/mol=6.73\times 10^{13} g =6.73\times 10^{10} kg

The yearly release of CO_2 into the atmosphere is 6.73\times 10^{10} kg.

What is the molar solubility of agcl in 0. 30 m nacl at 25°C. ksp for agcl is 1. 77 × 10^-10.
Rzqust [24]

Molar solubility of AgCl will be  0.59 ×  10^{-10} M.

The amount of a chemical that can dissolve in one liter of a solution before reaching saturation is known as its molar solubility. This implies that the quantity of a substance it can disintegrate in a solution even before the solution becomes saturated with that particular substance is determined by its molar solubility.

A compound's molar solubility would be the measure of how many moles of such a compound must dissolve to produce one liter of saturated solution. The molar solubility unit will be mol L-1.

Calculation of molar solubility:

Given data:

M = 0.30 M

K_{sp} = 1.77 × 10^{-10}

The reaction can be written as:

AgCl ⇔ Ag^{+} + Cl^{-}

s            s         (s+0.30)

K_{sp}  = [Ag^{+} ]+ [Cl^{-}]

1.77 × 10^{-10} = s (0.30)

s = 1.77 × 10^{-10}  / 0.3

s = 0.59 ×  10^{-10} M

Therefore, molar solubility of AgCl will be  0.59 ×  10^{-10} M.

What kind of chemical change do you think occurs when a banana peel turns brown in the open air?
Alisiya [41]
Rotting, and ageing. The banana peel ages faster in open air, and therefor begins to rot. Brow peels don't mean that the banana is rotted, however, it is a sign that it may begin to rot soon.

Strontium-90 is one of the products of the fission of uranium-235. This strontium isotope is radioactive, with a half-life of 28
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

67.6 years is the time the isotope take to decay from 0.900g to 0.170g

Explanation:

The radioactive decay follows first order law:

Ln [A] = -kt + ln[A]₀

<em>Where [A] is concentration after time t,</em>

<em>k is decay constant:</em>

<em>k = ln 2 / t(1/2)</em>

<em>k = ln2 / 28.1 years</em>

<em>k = 0.02467 years⁻¹</em>

<em>[A]₀ = Initial concentration.</em>

<em />

We can replace concentration and use the mass of the isotope:

Ln [A] = -kt + ln[A]₀

Ln [0.170g] = -0.02467 years⁻¹t + ln[0.900g]

-1.667 = -0.02467 years⁻¹t

t =

Consider the exothermic reaction
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is -2855 J

Explanation:

Reaction

                     2C₂H₆  +  7O₂   ⇒   4CO₂  +  6H₂O

Formula

Heat of reaction = ΔHrxn = ΣΔHrxn products - ΣΔHrxn reactants

Substitution

ΔHrxn = { 4(-393.5) + 6(-241.8)} - {2(-84.7) + 7(0)}

ΔHrxn = {-1574 -1450.8} - {-169.4}

ΔHrxn = -3024.8 + 169.4

ΔHrxn = -2855.4 J
