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

Chemistry
1 answer:
LUCKY_DIMON [66]3 years ago

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.

Which is a factor on determining the average atomic mass of an element
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Relative abundance of each isotopes of an element.

Explanation:

Consider the following example:

Uranium is used in nuclear reactors and is a rare element on earth. Uranium has three common isotopes. If the abundance of 234U is 0.01% the abundance of 235U is 0.71% and the abundance of 238U is 99.28% what is the average atomic mass of uranium

Abundance of U²³⁴ = 0.01%

Abundance of U²³⁵ = 0.17%

Abundance of U²³⁸ = 99.28%

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass of uranium = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 3rd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100

Average atomic mass of uranium= (234×0.01)+(235×0.71)+(238×99.28)/100

Average atomic mass of uranium=  2.34 + 166.85 + 23628.64 / 100

Average atomic mass of uranium= 23797.83 / 100

Average atomic mass of uranium= 237.98 amu.

30 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

   D) The volume becomes  two times the original value.

Explanation:

   Since the ATM is doubling in size, so is the pressure. Really, by saying the atm is going up, you’re just saying the pressure is going up, since ATM stand for atmospheric pressure.

How many molecules in each sample?<br><br> 64.7 g N2<br> 83 g CCl4<br> 19 g C6H12O6
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

  • 1.39x10²⁴ molecules N₂
  • .25x10²³ molecules CCl₄
  • 6.38x10²² molecules C₆H₁₂O₆

Explanation:

First we <u>convert the given masses into moles</u>, using the <em>compounds' respective molar mass</em>:

  • 64.7 g N₂ ÷ 28 g/mol = 2.31 mol N₂
  • 83 g CCl₄ ÷ 153.82 g/mol = 0.540 mol CCl₄
  • 19 g C₆H₁₂O₆ ÷ 180 g/mol = 0.106 mol C₆H₁₂O₆

Then we multiply each amount by <em>Avogadro's number</em>, to <u>calculate the number of molecules</u>:

  • 2.31 mol N₂ * 6.023x10²³ molecules/mol = 1.39x10²⁴ molecules
  • 0.540 mol CCl₄ * 6.023x10²³ molecules/mol = 3.25x10²³ molecules
  • 0.106 mol C₆H₁₂O₆ * 6.023x10²³ molecules/mol = 6.38x10²² molecules

Describe the test for hydrogen. Give the result of the test.
Romashka [77]

Answer:

A simple test for the prescence of hydrogen gas is to light a splint and put it in the smoke present. If it makes a squeaky pop sound, then hydrogen gas is present. The hydrogen gas produced is combustible, and will therefore burn when it reacts with oxygen gas
