Answer:

Explanation:

The balance equation of the reaction is:

Zr + 2 H₂O ⇒ ZrO₂ + 2 H₂

Being:

Zr: 91 g/mole
H: 1 g/mole
O: 16 g/mole

the molar mass of the reactants participating in the reaction are:

Zr: 91 g/mole
H₂O: 2*1 g/mole + 16 g/mole= 18 g/mole

If by stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction) they react in moles:

Zr: 1 mole
H₂O: 2 moles

then by stoichiometry the following quantity of mass react:

Zr: 1 mole*91 g/mole= 91 g
H₂O: 2 moles*18 g/mole= 36 g

Now the following rule of three applies: if 91 g of Zr react with 36 g of H₂O, 4500 g of Zr with how much mass of H₂O would it react?

$mass of H_{2} O=\frac{4500 grams of Zr*36 grams of H_{2}O }{91 grams of Zr}$

mass of H₂O= 1,780 grams

But 1780 grams of H₂0 are not available, 1.5 * 10⁴(15,000) grams are available. Since it has more mass than it needs to react with 4500 grams of Zr, Zr zirconia will be the limiting reagent.

Consider the following types of electromagnetic radiation:

liq [111]

Explanation:

Electromagnetic wave Wavelength

(1) Microwave = 1 m to 1 mm = $10^9 nm$ to $10^6 nm$

(2) Ultraviolet = 10 nm to 400 nm

(3) Radio waves = 1 mm to 100 km = $10^6 nm$ to $10^{14}nm$

(4) Infrared = 700 nm to 1 mm

(5) X-ray = 0.01 nm to 10 nm

(6) Visible = 400 nm t0 700 nm

a) In order of increasing wavelength:

: 5 < 2 < 6 < 4 < 1 < 3

b) Frequency of the electromagnetic wave given as:

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda }$

$\nu$ = frequency

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

c = speed of light

$\nu \propto \frac{1}{\lambda }$

So, the increasing order of frequency:

: 3 < 1 < 4 < 6 < 2 < 5

c) Energy(E) of the electromagnetic wave is given by Planck's equation :

$E=h\nu$

$E\propto \nu$

So, the increasing order of energy:

: 3 < 1 < 4 < 6 < 2 < 5

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

See image attached and explanation

Explanation:

The stratospheric ozone layer is very important in absorbing high-energy ultraviolet radiation that is harmful to living systems on earth. The concentration of ozone in the stratosphere is determined by both thermal and photochemical pathways for its decomposition. Nitric oxide, NO, is a trace constituent in the stratosphere that reacts with ozone to form nitrogen dioxide, NO2, and the diatomic oxygen molecule. The nitrogen-oxygen bond in NO2 is relatively weak. When an NO2 molecule encounters an oxygen atom, it transfers an oxygen, forming O2 and NO. The chemical reactions involved are formations of NO2 following by reaction of NO2 with atomic oxygen for form NO and O2. The sum of both reactions show that the overall reaction is simply the reaction of ozone with atomic oxygen to form two molecules of molecular oxygen. Hence, NO only serves as a catalyst, it does not undergo a permanent change itself.
