Which gas is used by divers and why

Chemistry
1 answer:
BARSIC [14]3 years ago
5 0
What they breathe is compressed air. Yes normal air that every one breathes. This is compressed to 200bar and can last for approx. half an hour depending on the diver. What is exhaled is is also the same, namely carbon dioxide. 
<span>Sometimes divers mix gases to different ratios to give themselves longer dive times. This is called 'Ni-trox', which means ( Nitrogen/ Oxygen mixture). The gases exhaled are slightly different. </span>

If excess ammonium sulfate reacts with 20.0g of calcium hydroxide how many grams of ammonia are produced
bagirrra123 [75]
The reaction between ammonium sulfate and calcium hydroxide is given below. 
            (NH₄)₂SO₄ + Ca(OH)₂ --> 2NH₃ + CaSO₄ + 2H₂O
From the balance equation, we can conclude that every 74 g of calcium sulfate reacted with enough amount of ammonium sulfate will yield 34 grams of ammonia. From the given amount,
               (20 g calcium sulfate) x (34 grams ammonia / 74 g calcium sulfate)
                               = <em>9.19 g ammonia</em>

Identify the blocks and groups of elements in the periodic table​
djyliett [7]

Explanation:

The periodic table is a table that arranges elements based on their atomic numbers into groups and periods.

The groups are the vertical arrangement of elements. All elements in a group share similar chemical properties because they have the same number of elements in their valence shell. The periodic table groups are:

               Group                             Other names

              1A or 1                               Alkali metals

              IIA or 2                              Alkaline earth metals

             IIIA or 3                            Boron family

             VIA or 6                             Chalcogens

            VIIA or 17                            Halogens

             O-18                                  Inert elements

             IIIB-IIB                              Transition elements

There are 18 vertical columns divided into 8 tall groups or main groups which are 1A to O. The short groups or subgroups are from numerals 1B to VIII.

The periodic table can be divided into four blocks based on the type of sublevels their valence electrons occupy.

  • Group IA and IIA constitute the s-block
  • Group IIIA to O constitute the p-block
  • The transition elements makes up the d-block
  • The lanthanides and actinides makes up the f-block

Can someone help me with the questions in the images. if they are correct i will mark as brainliest

(1)

The health of coral colonies

The levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

This is because corals are very sensitive to changes in the ocean's properties pH being included. Warmer oceans dissolves more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere hence making the waters slightly acidic. This will affect coral resulting in bleaching. This negatively affects the marine ecosystems since corals are usually at the bottom of the energy pyramid in these ecosystems.

(2)

Chlorofluorocarbons are very harmful to the environment when released into the atmosphere. They damage the ozone layer and therefore allow more UV rays from sunlight to reach the earth’s surface. They also have a  greenhouse effect causing the earth’s atmosphere to warm up. This ultimately leads to global warming and climate change.

(3)

It would allow storm systems to stall in an area

Jets streams are very significant in that they influence weather patterns across the world. They are responsible for the movement of pressure systems and global air cells and their accompanying weather patterns. Because they generally sit in between cold and warm air systems they are significant in moving these air masses around. When they are weak they cause an air system to linger including storms causing excessive flooding in an area.

(4)

Absorb and re-emit infrared radiation.

Produced by human activity

Greenhouse gases do not allow infrared radiation from the earth's surface to escape back to space. Infrared is the electromagnetic wave spectrum responsible for transferring heat energy. Therefore, when left to linger in the atmosphere, they cause the greenhouse effect. This is the reason for global warming.

(5)

Air temperature –, ice

Ocean temperature – ice, a chemical isotope of <em>foraminifera</em>

Carbon dioxide levels – a chemical isotope of <em>foraminifera</em>

Kind of plants – fossilized pollen grains

Rainfall- the rings

How many molecules are in 9.8 grams of calcium
solniwko [45]
Molar mass of Calcium ( Ca ) = 40.078 g/mol

Number of moles in 9.8 grams :

1 mole Ca -----------> 40.078 g
mole Ca -------------> 9.8 g

moles Ca = 9.8 / 40.078

moles Ca = 0.2445 moles

number of molecules:

1 mole ----------------> 6.02x10²³ molecules
0.2445 moles --------> ?

= 0.2445 * 6.02x10²³

= 1.47x10²³ molecules

hope this helps!.
