Earthquakes can cause massive distruction that can even cause death. In order to prevent any damage done to you, you must leave the scene immediatly, especially since an earthquake can tear down houses and buildings

A sample of limestone (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) is heated at 950 K until it is completely converted to calcium oxide (CaO) and

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Therefore, volume of CO₂ produced in the first step is 9141.404 L

Explanation:

Equations of reactions:

A: CaCO₃(s) ---> CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

B: CaO(l) + H₂O(l) ---> Ca(OH)₂(s)

Molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100 g; molar mass of CaO = 56 g; molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g molar mass of H₂P = 18 g; molar mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 74 g

From equation B, 1 mole of CaO produces 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂

This means that 56 g of CaO produces 74 g of Ca(OH)₂

mass of CaO that produces 8.47 kg or 8470 g of Ca(OH)₂ = 8470 g * 56/74 = 6409.73 g of CaO

Therefore, 6409.73 g of CaO were produced in reaction A

From reaction A, 1 mole of CaCO₃ produces 1 mole CaO and 1 mole of CO₂

Number of moles of CaO in 6409.73 g = 6409.73 g/56 g/mol = 114.46 moles

Therefore, 114.46 moles of CO₂ were produces as well.

Molar volume of gas at STP = 22.4 litres

Volume of CO₂ produced at STP = 114.46 * 22.4 L =2563.904 L

However, the above reaction took place at 950 K and 0.976 atm, therefore volume of CO₂ produced under these conditions are obtained using the general gas equation

Using P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

P₁ = 1.0 atm, V₁ = 2563.904 L, T₁ = 273 K, P₂ = 0.976 atm, T₂ = 950 K, V₂ = ?

V₂ = P₁V₁T₂/P₂T₁

V₂ = (1.0 * 2563.904 * 950)/(0.976 * 273)

V₂ = 9141.404 L

Therefore, volume of CO₂ produced in the first step is 9141.404 L

How many molecules in 3.4 moles of NH4NO3?

aliya0001 [1]

There are 20.5 x 10^24 molecules are present in 3.4 moles of NH4NO3.

<h3>How many molecules in 3.4 moles of NH4NO3?</h3>

We know that one mole of a substance has 6.022 × 10²³ molecules so in 3.4 moles of NH4NO3, we have 20.5 x 10^24 molecules if we multiply the 6.022 × 10²³ with 3.4.

So we can conclude that there are 20.5 x 10^24 molecules are present in 3.4 moles of NH4NO3.

Which processes of the water cycle involve the movement of water in the liquid state?

dangina [55]

Answer:

Surface runoff and condensation

Explanation:

Let's define each of the given processes in order to understand them better:

evaporation is a process in which liquid phase transforms into a gas phase;
precipitation is a process in which we produce a solid phase, usually this is the case when we precipitate a salt out of a solution, analogy of precipitation for water would be transformation from a liquid to a solid phase, such as freezing;
surface runoff is a process in which water flows over the surface of a land without any change in its phase;
condensation is a process in which a gas transforms into a liquid.

All in all, notice that surface runoff keeps water in its liquid state, while all the other three options consider phase change. The only phase change of interest is condensation: we produce liquid water from water vapor and then we can analyze its movement in the liquid state.

which of the following structures are tubes? A. Eustachian, Pharynx, Bronchi. B. Cilia, Adenoids, mucous, epiglottis. C. Apex, M

Arte-miy333 [17]

The correct answer among the choices given is option A. Eustachian, Pharynx, Bronchi are structures that ensembles a tube. The Eustachian tube is a narrow passage from the pharynx to the middle ear. Pharynx is a passageway leading from the oral and nasal cavities to the larynx and the esophagus. Lastly, bronchi is an airway in the respiratory tract.
