Which of the following describes a unique property of water that helps sustain marine life?

Chemistry
1 answer:
LUCKY_DIMON [66]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Since ice is less dense than water, it floats. This forms an ice cover sheet in cold regions such as in the poles. This insulates the water beneath from excessive heat loss hence preventing it from turning into ice too, This protects the marine life beneath. Also, water does not gain heat or loss it rapidly (due to its high heat capacity) hence offering a more or stable temperature range for marine life.

A force of attraction that holds atom together
When atoms react they form a chemical bond which is defined as a force of attraction that holds atom together. A force of attraction is defined as a kind of force that draws two or more objects together regardless of distance. There are two major categories of forces of attraction, one is intramolecular and intermolecular. Intramolecular forces is the presence of forces in atoms internally. While intermolecular is the force by which the force that is existent in two or more elements.

Use the standard reaction enthalpies given below to determine ΔH°rxn for the following reaction:P4(g) + 10 Cl2(g) → 4PCl5(s) ΔH°
miskamm [114]

<u>Answer:</u> The \Delta H^o_{rxn} for the reaction is -1835 kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given chemical reaction follows:

P_4(g)+10Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 4PCl_5(s)      \Delta H^o_{rxn}=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) PCl_5(s)\rightarrow PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)    \Delta H_1=157kJ   ( × 4)

(2) P_4(g)+6Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 4PCl_3(g)     \Delta H_2=-1207kJ

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction follows:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[4\times (-\Delta H_1)]+[1\times \Delta H_2]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(4\times (-157))+(1\times (-1207))=-1835kJ

Hence, the \Delta H^o_{rxn} for the reaction is -1835 kJ.

A 1.0 mol sample of which of the following compounds has the greatest mass?
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

D) N2O5

Explanation:

The molar mass of a substance is defined as the mass of this substance in 1 mol. To solve this question we must find the molar mass of each option:

<em>Molar mass NO:</em>

1N = 14g/mol*1

1O = 16g/mol*1

14+16 = 30g/mol

<em>Molar mass NO2:</em>

1N = 14g/mol*1

2O = 16g/mol*2

14+32 = 46g/mol

<em>Molar mass N2O:</em>

2N = 14g/mol*2

1O = 16g/mol*1

28+16 = 44g/mol

<em>Molar mass N2O5:</em>

2N = 14g/mol*2

5O = 16g/mol*5

28+80 = 108g/mol

That means the compound with the greatest mass is:

<h3>D) N2O5</h3>

Consider the balanced equation of K I KI reacting with P b ( N O 3 ) 2 Pb(NOX3)X2 to form a precipitate. 2 K I ( a q ) + P b ( N
professor190 [17]

Answer: 50.7 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

a) moles of KI

\text{Number of moles}=molarity\times {\text {Volume in L]}=0.417M\times 0.528L=0.220moles

The balanced chemical equation is:

2KI(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow PbI_2(s)+2KNO_3(aq)

KI is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and Pb(NO_3)_2 is in excess.

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of KI give =  1 mole of PbI_2

Thus 0.220 moles of KI give=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.220=0.110moles  of PbI_2

Mass of PbI_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.110moles\times 461.01g/mol=50.7g

Thus 50.7 g of PbI_2 will be formed.
