Answer:

About 30-35%

Explanation:

Glaciers are defined as the large moving blocks of ice that are formed by the gathering and solidification of snow on the high elevated mountains. The poles and near-polar region are suitable locations for the formation of glaciers as the high latitude areas experience a very cold type of climate.

During the last glaciation or ice age, the maximum portion of the earth that was occupied with glaciers was about 30-35% of the total landmass.  

At present, glaciers cover only 10% of the earth's total landmass that includes the glaciers, large ice caps, and the extensive sheets of ice that are present in Antarctica as well as Greenland.

0.10 M potassium chromate is slowly added to a solution containing 0.20 M AgNO3 and 0.20 M Ba(NO3)2. What is the Ag+ concentrati
erastova [34]

Answer:

[Ag^{+}]=4.2\times 10^{-2}M

Explanation:

Given:

[AgNO3] = 0.20 M

Ba(NO3)2 = 0.20 M

[K2CrO4] = 0.10 M

Ksp of Ag2CrO4 = 1.1 x 10^-12

Ksp of BaCrO4 = 1.1 x 10^-10

BaCrO_4 (s)\leftrightharpoons  Ba^{2+}(aq)\;+\;CrO_{4}^{2-}(aq)

Ksp=[Ba^{2+}][CrO_{4}^{2-}]

1.2\times 10^{-10}=(0.20)[CrO_{4}^{2-}]

[CrO_{4}^{2-}]=\frac{1.2\times 10^{-10}}{(0.20)}= 6.0\times 10^{-10}

Now,

Ag_{2}CrO_4(s) \leftrightharpoons  2Ag^{+}(aq)\;+\;CrO_{4}^{2-}(aq)

Ksp=[Ag^{+}]^{2}[CrO_{4}^{2-}]

1.1\times 10^{-12}=[Ag^{+}]^{2}](6.0\times 10^{-10})

[Ag^{+}]^{2}]=\frac{1.1\times 10^{-12}}{(6.0\times 10^{-10})}= 1.8\times 10^{-3}

[Ag^{+}]=\sqrt{1.8\times 10^{-3}}=4.2\times 10^{-2}M

So, BaCrO4 will start precipitating when [Ag+] is 4.2 x 1.2^-2 M

What is the mass of an element with 15 protons, 13 electrons, and 11 neutrons? *
RSB [31]

Answer:

The mass of the element is 26.20 amu

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the mass of an element with 15 protons, 13 electrons and 11 neutrons

To calculate the atomic mass of the element, we take into consideration the masses of the individual sub atomic particles

Electrons have 0 atomic mass unit(their masses are negligible) we have no business here, Protons have a mass of

1.00727647 amu, while the mass of neutron is 1.0086654 amu

The mass of 15 protons is thus 15 * 1.00727647 = 15.10914705 amu

The mass of 11 neutrons is 11 * 1.0086654 =

11.0953194 amu

Adding this together, we have ; 11.0953194 + 15.10914705 = approximately 26.20 amu
