An alloy contains 59g of pure silver and 19g of pure copper. What is the silver in the alloy

In Chapter 1 of Astrobiology, A Very Short Introduction, the author talks about some properties of one element in particular tha

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Carbon

Explanation:

Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell, so it generally shares it in a covalent bond. This element needs four electrons to be stable, so it can form single (such as the bond with hydrogen), double (such as the bond with oxygen) or triple bonds (such as the bond with nitrogen).

It can also form bonds with other carbon, and they can form longs chains, that's why there are a lot of organic compounds (the compounds with carbon). Carbon can form rings too, such as in benzene.

In lab, a dialysis bag was filled with a 10% sucrose solution and placed in an unlabeled beaker filled with clear liquid. The di

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Of lower concentration or less concentrated

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of solvent from a region of lower concentration of solute to a region of higher concentration of solute through a semipermeable membrane in order to equalize the concentration of the solutions on both sides.

Since the membrane of the bag is semipermeable, then the fact that the bag in the beaker decreased in size, lost volume, and became flaccid indicates that the solution in the bag is of lower solute concentration than the solution in the beaker hence the movement of water molecules into the beaker by osmosis.

The air at the top of Mount Everest has pressures of 201.0 torr N2, 50.0 torr O2, 2.0 torr Ar, and 0.5 torr CO2. What is the tot

nordsb [41]

Answer:

The total air pressure at the top of the highest peak in the world is 253.5 torr

Explanation:

The partial pressures of the gases present at the top of Mount Everest are;

Nitrogen, N₂ = 201.0 torr

Oxygen, O₂ = 50.0 torr

Argon, Ar = 2.0 torr

Carbon dioxide, CO₂ = 0.5 torr

By Dalton's law of partial pressure, the total pressure that a mixture of gases exerts is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases

Mathematically, the law can be expressed as follows;

Total pressure, P = ∑P $_i$ = P₁ + P₂ + · · ·

From which we have;

The total air pressure at the top of the highest peak in the world, Mount Everest, $P_{Total Mont Everest}$ = The sum of the partial pressures of N₂, O₂, Ar, and CO₂

$P_{Total Mont Everest}$ = 201.0 torr + 50.0 torr + 2.0 torr + 0.5 torr = 253.5 torr

$P_{Total Mont Everest}$ = 253.5 torr = 0.33355263 atmosphere

Therefore, the total air pressure at the top of the highest peak in the world, $P_{Total Mont Everest}$ = 253.5 torr

When the mineral dolomite (caco3·mgco3) is heated, it gives off carbon dioxide and forms a mixture of a metal oxide and a metal

luda_lava [24]

$MgCO_3.CaCO_3 ----\ \textgreater \ Heat---\ \textgreater \ CO_2 + MgO + CaCO_3$

Now, question is why MgO but not CaO.

At a dissociation pressure of 1 atm, the temperature at which CO2 and metal oxide is formed is :

For MgCO3 = 540 °C
For CaCO3 = 900 °C”
Also,
<span>The driving force is the larger lattice energy of MgO(3795) vs that of CaO(3414 kJ mol^-1) . More the lattice energy, the more chances of that compound to form.</span>
So MgO is formed first.

Carbonate is Calcium carbonate
