Chemistry
1 answer:
gulaghasi [49]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

6 elements.

Explanation:

99.9% by weight of most living things is made of the six elements: hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur (backwards using just the letter abbreviations this spells SPONCH).

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Banana wafers and chips

Explanation:

Winnowing is the process of separating heavier and lighter components of a mixture by blowing air through the mixture. This implies that the relative weight of the particles in the mixture determines whether they can be separated by winnowing or not.

However, chips are heavier than wafers. wafers refer to a very light snack which is easily blown away by a current of air. Hence banana chips and wafers can be separated using the method of winnowing.

How do seismologists, or scientists who study earthquakes, know that the largest known earthquake to hit the region occurred aro
denis23 [38]

Answer:

By looking at the amount of time between the P and S wave on a seismographs recorded on a seismograph, scientists can tell how far away the earthquake was from that location. However, they can't tell in what direction from the seismograph the earthquake was, only how far away it was.

What mass of carbon dioxide gas occupies a volume of 81.3L at 204 kPa and a temperature of 95.0°C?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

236.9g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of gas  = 81.3L

Pressure of gas = 204kPa

temperature of gas = 95°C

Unknown:

Mass of carbondioxide gas = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, the ideal gas law will be well suited. The ideal gas law is a fusion of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Avogadro's law.

Mathematically, it is expressed as;

                    PV = nRT

the unknown here is n which is the number of moles;

P is the pressure, V is the volume, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.

convert pressure into atm

               101.325KPa  = 1atm

             204 kPa = \frac{204}{101.325}   = 2atm

Convert temperature to Kelvin;   95 + 273  = 368K

       2 x 81.3 = n x 0.082 x 368

             n = \frac{2 x 81.3}{0.082 x 368}   = 5.38moles

Since the unknown is mass;

 Mass  = number of moles x molar mass

      Molar mass of carbon dioxide  = 12 + 2(16)  = 44g/mol

 Mass  = 5.38 x 44  = 236.9g

3. In the formation of acid rain, sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen and water in the air to form sulfuric acid. Write a balanced
Andreyy89

Answer:

SO₂ + 0.5 O₂ + H₂O → H₂SO₄

3.83 g

Explanation:

In the formation of acid rain, sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen and water in the air to form sulfuric acid. The balanced chemical equation is:

SO₂ + 0.5 O₂ + H₂O → H₂SO₄

The molar mass of SO₂ is 64.07 g/mol. The moles of SO₂ corresponding to 2.50 g are:

2.50 g × (1 mol/64.07 g) = 0.0390 mol

The molar ratio of SO₂ to H₂SO₄ is 1:1. The moles of H₂SO₄ formed are 0.0390 moles.

The molar mass of H₂SO₄ is 98.08 g/mol. The mass of H₂SO₄ is:

0.0390 mol × 98.08 g/mol = 3.83 g
