Chemistry

Answer:

B. decay of dead marine organisms

Explanation:

When the temperature is low, carbon dioxide is captured by the oceans, and when the temperature is high, it is released by the oceans into the atmosphere. At sea, carbon dioxide feeds phytoplankton.

Most of the carbon dioxide consumed by plant plankton (phytoplankton) returns to the atmosphere when this phytoplankton dies or is consumed, but a portion is deposited in the ocean floor sediments when these small particles sink. This process is called a "biological bomb" because carbon dioxide is transported from the atmosphere to the ocean floor.

Explain how a motorcar engine produces nitrogen oxides

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: combustion causes a chemical reaction between nitrogen and oxygen in the engine.

Explanation:

Nitrogen oxides are produced in combustion processes, partly from nitrogen compounds in the fuel, but mostly by direct combination of atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen in flames. Nitrogen oxides are produced naturally by lightning, and also, to a small extent, by microbial processes in soils.

What do you think happens to the bonds between atoms when substances melt?

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

As a substance melts, and goes from a solid to a liquid state, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, and the molecules move faster, and they separate further and further away from each other. The intermolecluar forces holding the molecules together become weaker. This is why a liquid can take fill the shape of its container, whereas a solid has a fixed shape.

The electronic configuration of an element is given below.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

The statement which is true about the reactivity of element with 1S²2S²2P⁶3S¹ is

it is reactive because it has to lose one electron to have a full outermost energy level.

Explanation

Element with 1S²2S²2P⁶3S¹ electron configuration is a sodium metal.

sodium has one electron in the outermost energy level.

for sodium to have a full outermost energy level ( 8 electrons) it loses the 1 electron in 3S¹ to form a positively charged ion. (Na⁺)

What is the pH of a 3.40 mM of acetic acid, 500 mL in which 50 mL of 1.00 M NaOAc has been added? Ka HOAc is 1.8 x 10-5? What pe

Deffense [45]

Answer:

a) pH = 4.213

b) % dis = 2 %

Explanation:

Ch3COONa → CH3COO- + Na+

CH3COOH ↔ CH3COO- + H3O+

∴ Ka = 1.8 E-5 = ([ CH3COO- ] * [ H3O+ ]) / [ CH3COOH ]

mass balance:

⇒ C CH3COOH + C CH3COONa = [ CH3COOH ] + [ CH3COO- ]

∴ C CH3COOH = 3.40 mM = 3.4 mmol/mL * ( mol/1000mmol)*(1000mL/L)

∴ C CH3COONa = 1.00 M = 1.00 mol/L = 1.00 mmol/mL

⇒ [ CH3COOH ] = 4.4 - [ CH3COO- ]

charge balance:

⇒ [ H3O+ ] + [ Na+ ] = [ CH3COO- ] + [ OH- ]....is negligible [ OH-], comes from water

⇒ [ CH3COO- ] = [ H3O+ ] + 1.00

⇒ Ka = (( [ H3O+ ] + 1 )* [ H3O+ ]) / ( 3.4 - [ H3O+])) = 1.8 E-5

⇒ [ H3O+ ]² + [ H3O+ ] = 6.12 E-5 - 1.8 E-5 [ H3O+ ]

⇒ [ H3O+ ]² + [ H3O+ ] - 6.12 E-5 = 0

⇒ [ H3O+ ] = 6.12 E-5 M

⇒ pH = - Log [ H3O+ ] = 4.213

b) (% dis)* mol acid = C CH3COOH = 3.4

∴ mol CH3COOH = 500*3.4 = 1700 mmol = 1.7 mol

⇒ % dis = 3.4 / 1.7 = 2 %
