The rays of the sun strike the Earth less directly during winter in the Northern Hemisphere?

1 answer:

8 0

The sun's rays hit the Earth at a extreme angle, which causes the days to become shorter, so yes, the sun's rays do hit the Earth at a extreme angle.

For the following reaction, 4.31 grams of iron are mixed with excess oxygen gas . The reaction yields 5.17 grams of iron(II) oxi

natka813 [3]

Answer: The theoretical yield of iron (II) oxide is 5.53g and percent yield of the reaction is 93.49 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ....(1)

For Iron:

Given mass of iron = 4.31 g

Molar mass of iron = 53.85 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of iron}=\frac{4.31g}{53.85g/mol}=0.0771mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2Fe(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2FeO(s)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of iron produces 2 moles of iron (ii) oxide.

So, 0.0771 moles of iron will produce = $\frac{2}{2}\times 0.0771=0.0771mol$ of iron (ii) oxide

Now, calculating the theoretical yield of iron (ii) oxide using equation 1, we get:

Moles of of iron (II) oxide = 0.0771 moles

Molar mass of iron (II) oxide = 71.844 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0771mol=\frac{\text{Theoretical yield of iron(ii) oxide}}{71.844g/mol}=5.53g$

To calculate the percentage yield of iron (ii) oxide, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of iron (ii) oxide = 5.17 g

Theoretical yield of iron (ii) oxide = 5.53 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of iron (ii) oxide}=\frac{5.17g}{5.53g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of iron (ii) oxide}=93.49\%$

Hence, the theoretical yield of iron (II) oxide is 5.53g and percent yield of the reaction is 93.49 %

Combustion of hydrocarbons such as undecane (_____) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's

____ [38]

Answer: Undecane, C11H24 is a liquid hydrocarbon from the alkane homologue ( family ).

Explanation:

All hydrocarbons burn in air to release H20 and CO2.

Combustion of hydrocarbons thus increases the percentage of CO2 present in the atmosphere which is not so good as CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases produce the greenhouse effect. The green house effect is the warming effect produced when gases present in the atmosphere allow and retain the radiation from the sun to the earth. Examples of greenhouse gases are CO2, CH4, SO3, NO, CFCs. The greenhouse effect leads to an increase in the temperature of the earth subsequently leading to (I) melting of large amounts of ice at the poles causing flooding. (II) rapid evaporation of water from Earth’s surface. (III) decrease in crop yield.

Also, high concentration CFCs ( chlorofluorocarbons ), as widely used in aerosols, coolants and packaging foams, in the atmosphere depletes the ozone layer leading to global warming. In 1996 an international agreement was reached for a complete ban of CFCs and more countries are now going Green ( using alternative energy sources ) so as to minimize emissions of these greenhouse gases
