Fossils fuels combustion is a one way path because they are not renewable. They are limited in supply and will surely become depleted one day. The combustion of modern plant material on the other hand is a cycle because the materials needed for their production is always available in inexhaustible quantities.

ubstance A undergoes a first order reaction A®B with a half-life, t½, of 20 min at 25 °C. If the initial concentration of A in a
Stells [14]

Answer : The concentration of A after 80 min is, 0.100 M

Explanation :

Half-life = 20 min

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{0.693}{20\text{ min}}

k=3.465\times 10^{-2}\text{ min}^{-1}

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 3.465\times 10^{-2}\text{ min}^{-1}

t = time passed by the sample  = 80 min

a = initial amount of the reactant  = 1.6 M

a - x = amount left after decay process = ?

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

80=\frac{2.303}{3.465\times 10^{-2}}\log\frac{1.6}{a-x}

a-x=0.100M

Therefore, the concentration of A after 80 min is, 0.100 M

Describe how glacial erosion influenced the topography of Ohio.
Marianna [84]

During the past two million years, glaciers have shaped and reshaped the surface of Ohio several times. These continental masses of ice affected as much as two-thirds of the state. Moving from the north and northwest, glaciers have scraped and flattened the landscape. Often more than a mile thick, they smoothed existing hills and filled valleys with enormous amounts of rocks, gravel, and smaller particles.  Through these actions, glaciers have had a very important impact on the agriculture of Ohio. Their activity has been felt in two noticeable ways: shaping the ground upon which people work and build, and forming the soils that cover that ground.

For an ideal gas under constant volume, if the pressure is tripled, what happens to the Kelvin temperature?
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Increase pressure 3X => increase Temperature 3X

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac Law => T ∝ P => T =kP => Empirical Relationship => T₁/P₁ = T₂/P₂  

=> T₂ = T₁P₂/P₁

Given P₂ = 3P₁ => T₂ = T₁(3P₁)/P₁ = 3T₁
