Energy transfer during water cycle occurs as follows:\boxed{{\text{d}}{\text{. Water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation}}} 

Further Explanation:

Water cycle:

It is the method by which water is being transferred from its gaseous phase to liquid phase and is again converted back to its vapor stats. In order words, water cycle involves movement of water from water vapors to liquid water and then back to water vapors once again.

Steps involved in water cycle:

Step 1: Evaporation

When water is heated, it converts into vapors or evaporation is said to take place. Water from earth’s surface, oceans, rivers and seas is evaporated and form water vapors.

Step 2: Condensation

It is just the opposite of what is observed in evaporation or vaporization. It is procedure that results in conversion of water vapors to liquid water. This process helps in the formation of clouds in the atmosphere.

Step 3: Sublimation

It is direct conversion of solid into gas or vapors. When ice and snow get converted into water vapors without getting converted into liquid water, sublimation is said to take place.

Step 4: Precipitation

It is the process by which water released from cloudsin form of rain, hail, or snow. This process acts as mediator for water delivery from atmosphere to the surface of earth.

Step 5: Transpiration

The process by which water is absorbed by plants and is released in form of water vapors via leaves. It acts as one major source of water in the atmosphere.

Step 6: Runoff

It is the type of precipitation that can neither be evaporated nor be absorbed in the soil. It is important step of water cycle as it is responsible for supply of water to rivers, lakes and seas.

Step 7: Infiltration

This is the process in which infusion of water occurs into the surface of soil and travels deep inside rocks and crevices. Water that is collected from melting ice results in being infiltrated.

Evaporation of water results in conversion of liquid to gas water. Such a conversion requires supply of energy. This energy is released when water vapors get converted into liquid water again. Therefore water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation. Hence option d is correct.

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In water cycle, water from clouds fall in the form of rain, snow etc. This water travels through the surface of mountains and passes through rivers, oceans etc and gets evaporated due to heat from Sun.

When water evaporates then it absorbs energy in the form of heat from Sun and when water condenses then heat is released.

Therefore, water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation.

How many moles are 21.67 L of NH4CI?<br> Type your answer...
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

0.967mole

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of NH₄Cl  = 21.67L

Unknown:

Number of moles  = ?

Solution:

We assume that the volume was taken at standard temperature and pressure,

 Then;

  Number of moles  = \frac{volume }{22.4L}  

 Number of moles  = \frac{21.67}{22.4}   = 0.967mole

2Fe + 3Cl2 → 2FeCl3 which of the following options gives the correct reactant ratio?
Mademuasel [1]

<u>Answer:</u> The reactant ratio in the given chemical equation will be: Fe:Cl_2=2:3

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mole ratio is defined as the ratio of the amount of moles of two substances that are participating in a chemical reaction.

In the given chemical equation:

2Fe+3Cl_2\rightarrow 2FeCl_3

The reactants are Fe and Cl_2 and the product is FeCl_3

The mole ratio is basically the stoichiometric ratio of the chemical compounds taking part in a chemical reaction.

The mole ratio of reactants is stoichiometric ratio of Fe and Cl_2, which is:

Fe:Cl_2=2:3

Hence, the reactant ratio in the given chemical equation will be: Fe:Cl_2=2:3

3. How many moles are 1.707 x 10^24 atoms of carbon?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

2.835 moles of carbon

Explanation:

By definition, there are 6.022x10^23 atoms (or compounds) in one mole.

Write and use this as a conversion factor:

(6.022x10^23 atoms)/mole

(1.707 x 10^24 atoms of carbon)/((6.022x10^23 atoms)/mole) = 2.835 moles carbon

Calcuate the number of<br> grams of solute in 453.9mL<br> of 0.237 M calcium acetate
AysviL [449]

The number of  grams : 17.082 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Molarity shows the number of moles of solute in every 1 liter of solute or mmol in each ml of solution

\large {\boxed {\bold {M ~ = ~ \dfrac {n} {V}}}

Where

M = Molarity

n = Number of moles of solute

V = Volume of solution

453.9 mL  of 0.237 M calcium acetate

  • mol

\tt mol=M\times V=0.237\times 0.4539=0.108

  • mass

MW Ca(C₂H₃OO)₂ : 158,17 g/mol

\tt mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=0.108\times 158.17=17.082~g
