The single most important chemical weathering agent is Carbon dioxide.
Weathering refers to the process that change the physical and chemical character of rock at or near the surface. Weathering has a dramatic impact on the composition of Earth's atmosphere. Chemical weathering removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, allowing it to be transformed into limestone and stored in the crust. Without chemical weathering, the elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would have long made Earth too hot to sustain life.

Suppose two scientists perform the same experiment separately, but their results are very different. What could they do to find
Lynna [10]
They should identify the confounding variable.

Some condition that is not examined by the scientist might alter the experiment result. That condition is called confounding variable. If the method of the experiment same but result is very different, there should be unidentified confounding variable. It could be air humidity, temperature, ventilation, light, time of the year or anything that might not be seen by naked eye.
Try to redo the experiment with controlling variable as much as possible.

A sample of an unknown metal has a mass of 58.932g. it has been heated to 101.00 degrees C, then dropped quickly into 45.20 mL o
yaroslaw [1]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.111 J/g°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • Mass of the unknown metal sample as 58.932 g
  • Initial temperature of the metal sample as 101°C
  • Final temperature of metal is 23.68 °C
  • Volume of pure water = 45.2 mL

But, density of pure water = 1 g/mL

  • Therefore; mass of pure water is 45.2 g
  • Initial temperature of water = 21°C
  • Final temperature of water is 23.68 °C
  • Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g°C

We are required to determine the specific heat of the metal;

<h3>Step 1: Calculate the amount of heat gained by pure water</h3>

Q = m × c × ΔT

For water, ΔT = 23.68 °C - 21° C

                       = 2.68 °C

Thus;

Q = 45.2 g × 4.184 J/g°C × 2.68°C

    = 506.833 Joules

<h3>Step 2: Heat released by the unknown metal sample</h3>

We know that, Q =  m × c × ΔT

For the unknown metal, ΔT = 101° C - 23.68 °C

                                              = 77.32°C

Assuming the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is c

Then;

Q = 58.932 g × c × 77.32°C

   = 4556.62c Joules

<h3>Step 3: Calculate the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal sample</h3>
  • We know that, the heat released by the unknown metal sample is equal to the heat gained by the water.
  • Therefore;

4556.62c Joules = 506.833 Joules

c = 506.833 ÷4556.62

  = 0.111 J/g°C

Thus, the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is 0.111 J/g°C

CO2(g)+CCl4(g)⇌2COCl2(g) Calculate ΔG for this reaction at 25 ∘C under these conditions: PCO2PCCl4PCOCl2===0.140 atm0.185 atm0.7
padilas [110]

<u>Answer:</u> The \Delta G for the reaction is 54.425 kJ/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given balanced chemical equation:

CO_2(g)+CCl_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2COCl_2(g)

We are given:

\Delta G^o_f_{CO_2}=-394.4kJ/mol\\\Delta G^o_f_{CCl_4}=-62.3kJ/mol\\\Delta G^o_f_{COCl_2}=-204.9kJ/mol

To calculate \Delta G^o_{rxn} for the reaction, we use the equation:

\Delta G^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta G_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta G_f(reactant)]

For the given equation:

\Delta G^o_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta G^o_f_{(COCl_2)})]-[(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(CO_2)})+(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(CCl_4)})]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta G^o_{rxn}=[(2\times (-204.9))-((1\times (-394.4))+(1\times (-62.3)))]\\\Delta G^o_{rxn}=46.9kJ=46900J

Conversion factor used = 1 kJ = 1000 J

The expression of K_p for the given reaction:

K_p=\frac{(p_{COCl_2})^2}{p_{CO_2}\times p_{CCl_4}}

We are given:

p_{COCl_2}=0.735atm\\p_{CO_2}=0.140atm\\p_{CCl_4}=0.185atm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

K_p=\frac{(0.735)^2}{0.410\times 0.185}\\\\K_p=20.85

To calculate the gibbs free energy of the reaction, we use the equation:

\Delta G=\Delta G^o+RT\ln K_p

where,

\Delta G = Gibbs' free energy of the reaction = ?

\Delta G^o = Standard gibbs' free energy change of the reaction = 46900 J

R = Gas constant = 8.314J/K mol

T = Temperature = 25^oC=[25+273]K=298K

K_p = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = 20.85

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta G=46900J+(8.314J/K.mol\times 298K\times \ln(20.85))\\\\\Delta G=54425.26J/mol=54.425kJ/mol

Hence, the \Delta G for the reaction is 54.425 kJ/mol

What would happen to the air pressure on Earth's surface if the density of Earth's atmosphere were to suddenly double?A. The air
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

B. The air pressure would increase 2X

Explanation:

Pressure = density × acceleration due to gravity × height

p = ρ × g × h

Pressure is force per unit area

p = F/a

Density is mass per unit volume

Pressure is directly proportional to density hence, any change in the density of a body directly affects the change in pressure of the body and vice versa.
