Answer: True

Forests are natural reserves on earth. They exhibit large population of fauna and flora. The floral community is responsible for maintaining the climate of the environment. The plants and trees absorbs the atmospheric carbon dioxide, to utilize it as a reactant of the photosynthesis process. Carbon dioxide being a potent greenhouse gas exhibit role in increasing the global temperature, and mainly responsible for global warming. Forests can reduce this impact and acts as carbon sink on earth.

Therefore, the statement "Forests are the only carbon sinks on Earth." is true.

Explanation:

It is known that in a simple cubic unit cell the atoms are only present at the corner of the unit cell. This means that there are in total 8 atoms present in a simple cubic unit cell.

Therefore, in one simple cubic unit cell sharing of one atom is only $\frac{1}{8}$ .

Hence, the total number of atoms in a unit cell will be as follows.

$8 \times \frac{1}{8}$ = 1

Thus, we can conclude that there is 1 calcium atom present in each unit cell.

How do you convert from grams to moles?

ludmilkaskok [199]

Each element or compound has a molar mass, which is calculated by multiplying the atomic mass of each element by the amount of atoms of that element, and summing the results of each element. The molar mass is measured in g/mol. So you divide the mass in grams by the molar mass to get the amount of moles.

Example:

There are 5g of water.

Calculate the amount of moles.

The water's formula is H2O, so the molar mass of it is

$2 \times 1 + 1 \times 16 = 18$

g/mol.

The amount of moles is:

5g ÷ 18g/mol ~ 0.28mol

A sample of phosphonitrilic bromide, PNBr2, contains 2.01 mol of the compound. Determine the amount (in mol) of each element pre

nordsb [41]

Answer:

2.01 moles of P → 1.21×10²⁴ atoms

2.01 moles of N → 1.21×10²⁴ atoms

4.02 moles of Br → 2.42×10²⁴ atoms

Explanation:

We begin from this relation:

1 mol of PNBr₂ has 1 mol of P, 1 mol of N and 2 moles of Br

Then 2.01 moles of PNBr₂ will have:

2.01 moles of P

2.01 moles of N

4.02 moles of Br

To determine the number of atoms, we use the relation:

1 mol has NA (6.02×10²³) atoms

Then: 2.01 moles of P will have (2.01 . NA) = 1.21×10²⁴ atoms

2.01 moles of N (2.01 . NA) = 1.21×10²⁴ atoms

4.02 moles of Br (4.02 . NA) = 2.42×10²⁴ atoms
