Explain how a convection current can enable a hawk or eagle to soar upward without flapping its wings

1 answer:

4 0

Convection is defined as the movement of air based on the differing temperatures of the air layers. The movement of this air causes an updraft at some point, since warmer air rises while cooler air sinks. This air also travels along the sky, whether its by a jet stream or just wind or some other form of air movement. This would provide the eagle or hawk to soar without flapping, since the air from underneath supports it up.

It is known that 32g of oxygen takes up 24 litres of space at 25oC. Calculate the volume of oxygen that is needed to react compl

Gwar [14]

6 L of oxygen (O₂)

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

2 Mg + O₂ → 2 MgO

Now we calculate the number of moles of magnesium:

number of moles = mass / molar weight

number of moles of Mg = 12 / 24 = 0.5 moles

Taking in account the chemical reaction we devise the following reasoning:

if 2 moles of Mg react with 1 mole of O₂

then 0.5 moles of Mg react with X moles of O₂

X = (0.5 × 1) / 2 = 0.25 mole of O₂

mass = number of moles × molar weight

mass of O₂ = 0.25 × 32 = 8 g

Knowing the information given by the problem that 32 g of O₂ takes up 24 liters of space, we devise the following reasoning:

if 32 g of O₂ takes up 24 liters of space

then 8 g of O₂ takes up Y liters of space

Y = (8 × 24) / 32 = 6 L of O₂

explain why the properties of a reactant can be different from the properties off the products of the reaction

Mrac [35]

Answer:

The reactants and products in a chemical reaction contain the same atoms, but they are rearranged during the reaction. As a result, the atoms end up in different combinations in the products. This makes the products new substances that are chemically different from the reactants.
