The weather report says that if the temperature drops 10°, it will reach 25° below zero. The current temperature T can be found

by solving the equation T – 10 = –25. Which answer describes the correct method for solving the equation?

Answer:

The current temperature is -15° (15° below zero)

Explanation:

The temperature drops 10°:

T-10°

It will reach 25° below zero:

T - 10° = -25°

We add 10° in both members of the equation:

T - 10° +10° = -25° +10°

The equation is simplified as follows:

T = -25° +10°

T = -15°

The integer -15° can be expressed as 15° below zero.

Which represents the greatest time frame in which a short-term environmental change can occur?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

in days

Explanation:

A short term environmental change refers to changes in the environment that happens within a short period of time, for example, flooding, drought, volcanic eruptions etc. In contrast to short term environmental change, long term environmental change takes place over a long period of time hence species have a longer time to adapt to it. Short term environmental changes may or may not be caused by humans. An example of a short term environmental change caused by humans is oil spillage. Short term environmental changes may lead to the the migration of species from the ecosystem.

Short term environmental changes usually occur within a very short time. The greatest time frame in which a short term environmental change can occur is in a matter of days. Only longterm environmental changes span hundreds and thousands of years.

An iron storage tank is placed in the ocean with no cathodic protection. a. What is the electrolyte in this reaction? b. As the
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Iron is being oxidized at the anode and water is acting as the electrolyte.

Explanation:

When iron is exposed to oxygen and water , the rusting of iron takes place.

<u>The reaction taking place at anode : Oxidation of iron.</u>

{anode:}\;\text{Fe}(s)\;{\longrightarrow}\;\text{Fe}^{2+}(aq)\;+\;2\text{e}^{-}

The reaction taking place at cathode : Reduction of oxygen in the air.

{cathode:}\;\text{O}_2(g)\;+\;4\text{H}^{+}(aq)\;+\;4\text{e}^{-}\;{\longrightarrow}\;2\text{H}_2\text{O}(l)  

The overall reaction:

{overall:}\;2\text{Fe}(s)\;+\;\text{O}_2(g)\;+\;4\text{H}^{+}(aq)\;{\longrightarrow}\;2\text{Fe}^{2+}(aq)\;+\;2\text{H}_2\text{O}(l)

The rust that is hydrated iron(III) oxide can form iron(II) ions which can react further with oxygen.

4\text{Fe}^{2+}(aq)\;+\;\text{O}_2(g)\;+\;(4\;+\;2x)\;\text{H}_2\text{O}(l)\;{\longrightarrow}\;2\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3{\cdot}x\text{H}_2\text{O}(s)\;+\;8\text{H}^{+}(aq)

Thus, from the above reactions ,

Iron is being oxidized at the anode and water is acting as the electrolyte.

Ultraviolet radiation and radiation of shorter wavelengths can damage biological molecules because they carry enough energy to b
DIA [1.3K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Longest wavelength = 343.7 nm

<h3>Solution and Explanation:</h3>

In this question we need to first use the concept of energy of a photon.

Energy of a photon, E, is given by the formula, E = hf, where h is the plank's constant, f is the frequency.

But since, f is given by dividing speed, c, by wavelength, λ, then;

E = hc/λ

We are given 348 kJ/mol required to break carbon-carbon bonds.

We know that; 1 mole of bonds = 6.022 × 10^23 bonds.

We are required to find the longest wavelength with enough energy to break the C-C bonds.

This can be worked out in simple steps:

Step 1:  Energy required to break one bond (kJ/bond)

1 mole of bonds = 6.022 × 10^23 bonds.

Therefore;

348 kJ = 6.022 × 10^23 bonds.

Thus;

1 bond = 348 kJ ÷ 6.022 × 10^23 bonds.

           =  5.778 x 10^-22 kJ

But; 1000 joules = 1 kJ

Hence; energy per bond =  5.778 x 10^-19 Joules

Step 2: Energy per photon

Breaking one bond requires energy equivalent to energy of a photon.

Therefore;

1 photon = 5.778 x 10^-19 Joules

              = 5.778 x 10^-19 J/photon

Step 3: Calculating the wavelength

From the equation of energy of a photon;

E = hc/λ

h is the plank's constant = 6.626 × 10^-34 J/s

c is the speed of light in vacuum = 2.9998 × 10^8 m/s

E is the energy of a photon =  5.778 x 10^-19 Joules

Therefore, making λ (wavelength) the subject;

wavelength = \frac{hc}{E}

= \frac{(6.626 . 10^{-34})(92.9998.10^8) }{(5.778 .10^{-19} )}

= 3.437. 10^{-7} m

       = 3.437 x 10^-7 m

But; 1 nm = 10^-9 m

Thus;

wavelength = 343.7 nm

Therefore, the longest wavelength of the radiation will be 343.7 nm
