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.

Hexane and octane are mixed to form a 45 mol% hexane solution at 25 deg C. The densities of hexane and octane are 0.655 g/cm3 an
avanturin [10]

Answer:

The required volume of hexane is 0.66245 Liters.

Explanation:

Volume of octane = v=1.0 L=1000 cm^3

Density of octane= d = 0.703 g/cm^3

Mass of octane ,m= d\times v=0.703 g/cm^3\times 1000 cm^3=703 g

Moles of octane =\frac{m}{114 g/mol}=\frac{703 g}{114 g/mol}=6.166 mol

Mole percentage of Hexane = 45%

Mole percentage of octane = 100% - 45% = 55%

55\%=\frac{6.166 mol}{\text{Total moles}}\times 100

Total moles = 11.212 mol

Moles of hexane :

45%=\frac{\text{moles of hexane }}{\text{Total moles}}\times 100

Moles of hexane = 5.0454 mol

Mass of 5.0454 moles of hexane,M = 5.0454 mol × 86 g/mol=433.9044 g

Density of the hexane,D = 0.655 g/cm^3

Volume of hexane = V

V=\frac{M}{D}=\frac{433.9044 g}{0.655 g/cm^3}=662.4494 cm^3\approx 0.66245 L

(1 cm^3= 0.001 L)

The required volume of hexane is 0.66245 Liters.
