Carbon is cycled through the hydrosphere and geosphere through biological, chemical, geological, and human activity.
<span>Let's take a forest, for example. These autotrophs take in carbon dioxide (CO2) during photosynthesis. They then release oxygen to the environment and give organisms that perform cellular respiration enough oxygen. Then, the organisms that perform cellular respiration breathe out CO2 that can be used by autotrophs. The consumers can also eat the autotrophs and release CO2 as they breathe out.</span>

<span>When rainwater falls from clouds in the atmosphere, CO2 is dissolved into the drops of rain. The rain (some of it) then goes into oceans and is dissolved into the ocean with the CO2. Then, it comes back from the water and floats up into the atmosphere again.
</span>
<span>Rocks at the bottom of the ocean are naturally turned into carbonated rocks, and it releases CO2 through volcanoes. </span><span>Also, it can convert organic matter into fossil fuels.

</span><span>Humans take fossil fuels from the Earth and use them as a source of fuel. This naturally releases the carbon dioxide in them, as they are converted into carbon over a very long period of time. </span><span>Also, humans sometimes burn forests. The fire releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

</span><span>The same processes that occur geologically and biologically occur in the ocean. Green algae take in CO2 and use it the same way.</span>

Covert 1.57 x 10^14 nm= ___m
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

1.57 x 10⁷m

Explanation:

Given quantity is;

          1.57 x 10¹⁴nm

Now;

            1 nm  = 10⁻⁹

So, let us convert this given quantity;

         1 nm          =             10⁻⁹

  1.57 x 10¹⁴nm  will give 1.57 x 10¹⁴ x 10⁻⁹  = 1.57 x 10⁷m

iron is made by a reduction of iron oxide with carbon monoxide. Fe2O3+3CO-2Fe+3CO2. Calculate the mass of iron that can be forme
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Mass = 88.12 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of iron oxide = 126 g

Mass of iron formed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO    →      2Fe + 3CO₂

Number of moles of iron oxide:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 126 g/ 159.69 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.789 mol

Now we will compare the moles of iron with iron oxide.

                      Fe₂O₃           :             Fe

                         1                 :               2

                   0.789              :            2/1×0.789 = 1.578 mol

Mass of iron:

Mass = number of moles ×molar mass

Mass = 1.578 mol × 55.84 g/mol

Mass = 88.12 g

Analyze the bonding and structure of water and isopropanol. determine the type of bonding of each; ionic or covalent, polar or n
Naily [24]

Answer:

Water is polar covalent while isoporopanol is covalent

Explanation:

Water contains polar covalent bonds. Water has a high dipole moment and thus dissolves ionic substances easily such as sodium chloride. Water is also a good electrolyte. Water is not volatile. Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds. Isopropanol is a covalent compound. It is non polar and suitable for dissolving non polar substances such as campohor. It is volatile but dissolves in water due the the -OH group present in the molecule.

Copper crystallizes in a face-centered cubic unit cell. the density of copper is 8.94 g/cm3. calculate the length of the edge of
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
<span>361.4 pm is the length of the edge of the unit cell. First, let's calculate the average volume each atom is taking. Start with calculating how many moles of copper we have in a cubic centimeter by looking up the atomic weight. Atomic weight copper = 63.546 Now divide the mass by the atomic weight, getting 8.94 g / 63.546 g/mol = 0.140685488 mol And multiply by Avogadro's number to get the number of atoms: 0.140685488 * 6.022140857x10^23 = 8.472278233x10^22 Now examine the face-centered cubic unit cell to see how many atoms worth of space it consumes. There is 1 atom at each of the 8 corners and each of those atoms is shared between 8 unit cells for for a space consumption of 8/8 = 1 atom. And there are 6 faces, each with an atom in the center, each of which is shared between 2 unit cells for a space consumption of 6/2 = 3 atoms. So each unit cell consumes as much space as 4 atoms. Let's divide the number of atoms in that cubic centimeter by 4 to determine the number of unit cells in that volume. 8.472278233x10^22 / 4 = 2.118069558x10^22 Now calculate the volume each unit cell occupies. 1 cm^3 / 2.118069558x10^22 = 4.721280262x10^-23 cm^3 Let's get the cube root to get the length of an edge. (4.721280262x10^-23 cm^3)^(1/3) = 3.61426x10^-08 cm Now let's convert from cm to pm. 3.61426x10^-08 cm / 100 cm/m * 1x10^12 pm/m = 361.4 pm Doing an independent search for the Crystallographic Features of Copper, I see that the Lattice Parameter for copper at at 293 K is 3.6147 x 10^-10 m which is in very close agreement with the calculated amount above. And since metals expand and contract with heat and cold, I assume the slight difference in values is due to the density figure given being determined at a temperature lower than 293 K.</span>
