Because of ocean acidification, it is expected that in 2050 the mass of CaCO3 deposited annually in coral reefs will be 20% less

than is deposited currently. Calculate how much less CaCO3 in Kg is expected to be deposited in 2050 than would be deposited if ocean water pH were to remain at its current value.

Question is incomplete (See complete question below).

Given that the current annual global increase in mass of CaCO3 in Coral reefs is 1.5*10^12 kg/year. Because of ocean acidification, it is expected that in 2050 the mass of CaCO3 deposited annually in coral reefs will be 20% less than is deposited currently. Calculate how much less CaCO3 in Kg is expected to be deposited in 2050 than would be deposited if ocean water pH were to remain at its current value.

Answer:

Expected deposited weight is 3 * 10^11 kg

Explanation:

Given

Weight = 1.5 * 10^12 kg/year

Percentage less = 20%

Provided that the pH of the ocean water were to remain at its current value, the expected weight of CaCO3 is calculated as follows;

% less * weight.

Substitute in the values;

20% * 1.5 * 10^12 kg

= 0.2 x 1.5 x 10^12 kg

= 3 * 10^11 kg

Hence, the expected deposited weight is 3 * 10^11 kg

You have an atom represented by X (not real by the way). X has 2 valence electrons. You have another atom Y that has 5 valence e
BabaBlast [244]

The chemical formula : X₃Y₂

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The noble gas element is a stable class of elements. The noble gas element is monatomic. Stability of noble gases is caused by an electron configuration that has a stable configuration of 8 (has 8 valence electrons) except He with a duplet configuration (has 2 valence electrons)

Other elements that do not yet have electron configurations such as noble gases will try to achieve their stability by forming bonds between elements.

This is generally called the octet rule

X has 2 valence electrons.to achieve stability, element X will release 2 electrons to form X²⁺

Y has 5 valence electrons, to achieve stability, the element Y will attract/ add electrons to form Y³⁻

The two compounds will form a compound with the charges crossed : X₃Y₂

Steve and Meg are doing an experiment where they need to make 37 grams of Fe2O3. How many grams of Fe would they need ?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

25.9g

Explanation:

Molecular mass of Fe₂O₃ = (56 * 2) + (16 * 3)

                                          = 112 + 48 = 160

Let's follow the unitary method now

In 160g Fe₂O₃ , there is 112 g Fe

In 1 g  Fe₂O₃ , there is 112 / 160 g Fe

In 37  Fe₂O₃ , we need 112 * 37 / 160

= 25.9 g Fe

The mystery of the unknown substance A prominent automotive businessman has been murdered in New York. The Crime Scene Investiga
Alisiya [41]
<span>Data:

1) molar mass: 58.0714 g.

2) mass analysis

C: 18 g
H: 3 g
O: 8 g.

Solution
</span>
<span>What is the percent composition of all the components in the liquid?

mass of C + mass of H + mass of O = 18g + 3g + 8g = 29 g

Percent composition:

C: (18g / 29g) * 100 = 62%

H: (3g / 29g) * 100 = 10%

O: (8g / 29g) * 100 = 28%
                               --------------
           Total               100%

What is the empirical formula of the compound?

Convert masses to number of moles by dividing each mass by the atomic mass of the correspondant element:

C: 18 g/ 12.0 g/mol = 1.5 mol

H: 3 g / 1.0 g/mol = 3 mol

O: 8 g / 16 g/mol = 0.5 mol

Divide each number of moles by the smaller, i.e. 0.5 mol

=> C: 1.5 mol / 0.5 mol = 3 mol
=> H: 3 mol / 0.5 mol = 6 mol
=> O: 0.5 mol / o.5 mol = 1 mol

=> Empirical formula: C3 H6 O

What is the molecular formula of the unknown liquid?

First,calculate the molar mass of the empirical formula:

C3 H6 O => 3 * 12 g/mol + 6*1 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 58 g/ mol

Secont, given that the molar mass is the same that the empirical mass, the molecular formula is the same empirical formula.

=> Molecular formula = C3 H6 O.

This compound has been identified as a ketone.

Go online and figure out the name of this compound.

It is easy to find that this compound is propanone or acetone (both names are valid).

Now you can go online and find its  characteristics and common uses.

Can you identify the killer from this information? How?

Likely they think you can presume that the killer is the actress, because women use acetone regularlty to remove the nail polish.
