In your own words, explain John Martin s theory about iron dumping.

Chemistry
1 answer:
AlekseyPX3 years ago
3 0
Basically the theory centers on the idea that an atom of iron dumped into the sea results in the conversion of 10,000 molecules of carbon dioxide to carbohydrates. John Martin's hypothesis is that the growth of phytoplankton is limited by the amount of iron dissolved in sea water. Lab experiments done by him then showed that indeed, adding a small amount of iron accelerated the growth of plankton.

Calculate the magnitude and direction (i.e., the angle with respect to the positive H-axis, measured positive as counter-clockwi
r-ruslan [8.4K]

The graphics in the attachment is part of the question, which was incomplete.

Answer: Fr = 102N and angle of approximately 11°.

Explanation: From the attachment, it is observed that from the three forces acting on M, two are perpendicular. So to find them, we have to show their x- and y- axis components. From the graph:

Fx = 70+40-10 = 100

Fy = 40-20 = 20

Now, as the forces form a triangle, the totalforce is:

Fr = \sqrt{Fx^{2} +Fy^{2} }

Fr = \sqrt{10400}

Fr = ≈ 102N

To determine the angle requested, we use:

arctg H = \frac{Fy}{Fx}

arctg H = \frac{20}{100}

H = tg 0.2 ≈ 11°.

The decomposition of NH4HS is endothermic: NH4HS(s)⇌NH3(g)+H2S(g) Part A Which change to an equilibrium mixture of this reaction
shepuryov [24]

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, any disturbance caused in an equilibrium reaction will shift the equilibrium in a direction that will oppose the change.

As the given reaction is as follows.

       NH_{4}HS(s) \rightleftharpoons NH_{3}(g) + H_{2}S(g)

(a)  When increase the temperature of the reactants or system then equilibrium will shift in forward direction where there is less temperature. It is possible for an endothermic reaction.

Thus, formation of H_{2}S will increase.

  • (b)  When we decrease the volume (at constant temperature) of given reaction mixture then it implies that there will be increase in pressure of the system. So, equilibrium will shift in a direction where there will be decrease in composition of gaseous phase. That is, in the backward direction reaction will shift.

Hence, formation of H_{2}S will decrease with decrease in volume.

  • When we increase the mount of NH_{4}HS then equilibrium will shift in the direction of decrease in concentration that is, in the forward direction.

Thus, we can conclude that formation of H_{2}S will increase then.

PLEASE HELP, EASY QUESTION!!!!  Which of the following best describes the freezing of water?
VLD [36.1K]
I think the correct answer would be negative change in enthalpy, low temperature and negative entropy. Freezing of water is an exothermic process which means heat is released to the surroundings so negative enthalpy. And this is seen in the change to a lower temperature. Entropy is negative which signifies that there is more order as water freezes.

In which orbital does an electron in a bromine atom experience the greatest effective nuclear charge?
asambeis [7]

First let us determine the electronic configuration of Bromine (Br). This is written as:

Br = [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p5

 

Then we must recall that the greatest effective nuclear charge (also referred to as shielding) greatly increases as distance of the orbital to the nucleus also increases. So therefore the electron in the farthest shell will experience the greatest nuclear charge hence the answer is:

<span>4p orbital</span>

For the diprotic weak acid h2a, ka1 = 3.2 × 10-6 and ka2 = 6.1 × 10-9. what is the ph of a 0.0650 m solution of h2a? what are th
Stolb23 [73]
Given:

Diprotic weak acid H2A:
 
Ka1 = 3.2 x 10^-6
Ka2 = 6.1 x 10^-9. 
Concentration = 0.0650 m 

Balanced chemical equation:

H2A ===> 2H+  + A2- 
0.0650       0        0
-x                2x       x
------------------------------
0.065 - x     2x      x

ka1 = 3.2 x 10^-6 = [2x]^2 * [x] / (0.065 - x)

solve for x and determine the concentration at equilibrium.
