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

Chemistry

loris [4]3 years ago

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.

Table Salt or NaCl is composed of sodium and chlorine. While the individual elements of sodium and chlorine are very reactive, t
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Chlorine is more likely to steal a valence electron from sodium.

Explanation:

Sodium is number 11 on the periodic table with one valence electron. Belonging to the first group, it's one of the alkali metal, which are known to be highly reactive. Chlorine is number 17 with seven valence electrons, and it's in the second-to-last group of halogens--also very reactive.

Considering that elements with one valence electron are just about 100% likely to give up electrons to reach a stable state, sodium would be the element that is more likely to lose its valence electron to chlorine. In other words, chlorine would be the electron thief.

30 Pointss<br> Please make sure it is correct please
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Explanation:

The graph shows birth and death rate in Japan. Birth rate has declined with the passage of time, as shown in the form of blue line whereas death rate is nearly constant, which can be seen as red line. More precisely, birth rate has decreased from ~30 to 10 whereas death rate is nearly ~10 all the times, although it was slightly decreased in the middle. Therefore, option C is the correct option...

If you lived in Flagstaff, Arizona, how much salt (NaCl) would you have to add to your spaghetti water to get it to boil at 100
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

This question is both theoretical and practical. While the theoretical aspect will be detailed fully here, the practical aspect will be provided as a form of guidance.

Water generally boils at 100°C when altitude (in feet) is 0. One of the colligative properties that occurs <u>when salt is added to water is that there is a boiling point elevation</u>(meaning an increase in boiling point). For instance, if 20g of salt is added to about 5.3 quarts of water, the boiling point of water will increase from 100°C to 100.04°C.

However, when the altitude/elevation of a place is about 7000 ft (like in Flagstaff, Arizona), water will boil at 95.3°C. In order to get 2 quarts of water to boil at 100°C in Flagstaff;

20g causes an increase in boiling point by 0.04°C (100°C to 100.04°C) in 5.3 quarts of water

What gram will increase the boiling point by same 0.04°C in 2 quarts

20g ⇒ 5.3

X ⇒ 2

5.3 X ⇒ 40g

X = 40 ÷ 5.3

X = 7.55g

Hence, 7.55g will cause an increase in boiling point by 0.04°C (from 100°C to 100.04°C) in 2 quarts of water

What mass of salt will increase the boiling point by 4.7°C (95.3°C to 100°C)

7.55g ⇒ 0.04

X ⇒ 4.7

X × 0.04 ⇒ 7.55 × 4.7

0.04X ⇒ 35.5

X = 887.5g

Hence, in order for the spaghetti water to boil at 100°C, 887.5g of salt needs to be added.

For the practical part of the question, some Kitchen scales have an accuracy of .25kg (250g) and some have an accuracy of .2 kg (200g) and some have an accuracy of .5kg (500g). The one your kitchen has will determine the amount of salt that you can measure. For example, if your kitchen scale/balance has an accuracy of 250g/0.25kg, then you can only measure 750g of the 887.5g (as the rest is 137.5g, which is not up to 250g of the scale's accuracy) of the required salt measurement. However, if you have a digital balance that can measure up to 2kg/2000g in one decimal place, that's the perfect balance to measure this salt.
