Dr. Ray has developed a new way to remove oil from wetlands in the event of an oil spill. To test his new process, Dr. Ray build

s a scale model of a wetland in his lab and pours a small amount of oil into it. He then observes the rate at which his process is able to remove the oil from the model. Why did Dr. Ray use a model? A. Because dumping oil in a real wetland would be dangerous. B. Because real wetlands are too complicated for his process to work. C. Because his model makes the process more complicated. D. Because real wetlands are too large to be affected by oil.

A scientific model is a pictorial, graphical or theoretical representation of any complex process or idea that is being studied. Any process that cannot be studied directly or that would cause an environmental issue, is studied by building up a model. In the given model, Dr. Ray built a scale model of a wetland to poured some oil to study the rate at which the oil is removed from the model. It would be difficult to study the phenomenon in wetland directly as pouring oil in the wetland would be dangerous to the plant and animal species present in the wetland.

Therefore, the correct option would be A. Because dumping oil in a real wetland would be dangerous.

How many ammonium ions and how many sulfate ions are present in an 0.260 mol sample of (nh4)2so4?
Anna11 [10]
The question requires that you assume complete ionization of the compound. This is:

(NH4)2 SO4 → 2 NH4 (+) + SO4 (2-)

Then, 1 mol of (NH4)2 SO4 produces 3 moles of ions: 2 moles of NH4 (+) and 1 mol of SO4 (2-)

=> 0.26 * 2 moles of NH4(+) = 0.52 moles of NH4 (+)

0.26 * 1 mol of SO4 (2-) = 0.26 moles of SO4 (2-).

Answer: 0.52 moles of ammonium ions and 0.26 moles of sulfate.ions.

Let P and V represent the pressure and volume of the Xe(g) in the container in diagram 3. If a piston is used to reduce the volu
Reil [10]

Answer:

2p

Explanation:

To solve this question, we can use Boyle's Law, which states that:

"For a fixed mass of an ideal gas kept at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume"

Mathematically:

p\propto \frac{1}{V}

where

p is the pressure of the gas

V is its volume

The equation can be rewritten as

p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2

where in this problem we have:

p_1 = p is the initial pressure of the Xe(g) gas

V_1=V is the initial volume of the Xe(g) gas

V_2=\frac{V}{2}  is the final volume of the Xe(g) gas

Solving for p2, we find the final pressure of the gas:

p_2=\frac{p_1 V_1}{V_2}=\frac{pV}{V/2}=2p

So, the final pressure is twice the initial pressure.

¿Cuántos moles de bióxido de Nitrógeno (NO 2) se forman cuando reaccionan 5 moles de Nitrógeno (N 2)?
o-na [289]

Answer:

10 moles de NO2

Explanation:

Tenemos la ecuación de la reacción como sigue;

 N2 (g) + 2 O2 (g) → 2 NO2 (g)

Asi que;

Si 1 mol de nitrógeno produce 2 moles de NO2

5 moles de nitrógeno producirán 5 * 2/1 = 10

Por tanto, se producen 10 moles de NO2 moles

(10 points) A student gathers the following data for the freezing point depression of a pure solvent and solvent-solute solution
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

548 g/mol

Explanation:

The freezing point depression of a solvent occurs when a nonvolatile solute is added to it. Because of the interactions between solute-solvent, it is more difficult to break the bonds, so the phase change will need more energy, and the freezing point will drop, which is called cryoscopy.

The drop in temperature can be calculated by:

ΔT = Kf*W*i

Where Kf is the cryoscopy constant of the solvent, W is the molality, and i is the van't Hoff factor, which indicates the fraction of the solute that dissolves.

The molality represents how much moles (n) of the solute is presented in each kg of the solvent (m2), thus

W = n/m2

The number of moles is the mass of the solute (m1) in g, divided by the molar mass (M1) of it:

W = m1/(M1*m2)

So, by the data:

0.2214 = 0.632/(M1*0.00521)

0.00115M1 = 0.632

M1 = 548 g/mol
