How do carbon isotopes in fossil fuels differ from the atmosphere and from biomass?

Chemistry
1 answer:
loris [4]3 years ago
4 0
Carbon bound in fossil fuels has different isotopes than carbon in atmosphere. Fossil fuels are underground and cosmic rays do not affect carbon in them same as atmosphere carbon. Carbon in fossil fuels that is underground longer than ten thousand years has only C-12 isotope and not C-14.

Which of these functional groups is found in all amino acids? -NH2 -OH =O -PO42-
melisa1 [442]

Answer : The correct option is, -NH_2

Explanation :

Amino acid : The acid that contains two functional groups that are carboxylic group, -COOH and ammine group, -NH_2.

When the two or more that two amino acids join together with the help of peptide bond, they produces polypeptide chain or protein.

The bond present between the two amino acid is called a peptide bond.

The peptide bond is a chemical bond that is formed between the two molecules when the nitrogen of one amino acid react with the carbon of another amino acid by releasing a water molecule. This is a dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction.

From this we conclude that, only two functional groups carboxylic group, -COOH and ammine group, -NH_2 are present in all amino acids.

Hence, the correct option is, -NH_2

Which human activity will most likely contribute to ozone layer destruction?
vagabundo [1.1K]
  • Answer: <em><u>The compounds containing CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are mainly responsible for ozone layer depletion as these compounds react with ozone in the presence of ultraviolet rays to form oxygen molecule and thus, destroying ozone.</u></em>

Explanation: <em><u>Human activities cause the emission of halogen source gases that contain chlorine and bromine atoms. These emissions into the atmosphere ultimately lead to stratospheric ozone depletion. The source gases that contain only carbon, chlorine, and fluorine are called chlo- rofluorocarbons usually abbreviated as CFCs.</u></em>

Explain how creativity can play a role in the construction of scientific questions and hypotheses.
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Scientific questions and hypotheses come up frequently while one is engaged in investigating a scientific phenomenon such  as natural geological phenomena as may occur in geological mapping in the field. For example, there may be a question does this canyon or deeply incised valley which is quite straight follow a weakness in the earth's crust like a major fault or the direction of bedding in well bedded sedimentary rocks. In a particular topographic area, some hypotheses which may be developed is that valleys follow geological structure whereas ridges follow resistant rocks like quartzites or quartz sandstones or in the ocean, points or capes may represent resistant quartz sandstones and bays may represent weak soft shales recessively weathering

The temperature is -14°C the air pressure in an automobile tire is 149K PA if the volume does not change what is the pressure af
Jet001 [13]

Answer: The pressure after the tire is heated to 17.3°C is 167 kPa

Explanation:

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

P_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

P_1=149kPa\\T_1=-14^0C=(273-14)=259K\\P_2=?=27.5psi\\T_2=17.3^0C=(273+17.3)=290.3K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{149}{259}=\frac{P_2}{290.3}\\\\P_2=167kPa

Hence, the pressure after the tire is heated to 17.3°C is 167 kPa
