Answer:

Tropical rain forest environments

Explanation:

Albedo means whiteness is the measure of the refection of the diffused solar radiation. And is measured from the scale of 0 to 100. Dark soil and forest have the lowest of the albedo, as they absorb the light of the sun rather than reflecting it. And snow has the highest rate of reflection of about 80%.

Which of the following must be true about a reaction if it is only spontaneous at high temperatures?

Anastaziya [24]

1) Answer is: It is endothermic, with both positive enthalpy and entropy changes.

Endothermic reactions (ΔH>0) that increase the entropy of the system (ΔS>0) are spontaneous at high temperatures.

The change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG), at constant temperature and pressure, is: ΔG=ΔH−TΔS.

ΔH is the change in enthalpy.

ΔS is change in entropy.

T is temperature of the system.

When ΔG is negative, a reaction (occurs without the addition of external energy) will be spontaneous (exergonic).

2) Answer is: It is endothermic and heat is added to the system.

There are two types of reaction:

1) endothermic reaction (chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than it releases, ΔH>0).

2) exothermic reaction (chemical reaction that releases more energy than it absorbs).

For example, the breakdown of ozone is an endothermic process. Ozone has lower energy than molecular oxygen (O₂) and oxygen atom, so ozone need energy to break bond between oxygen atoms.

3) Answer is: For every two AB produced, the reaction requires three A.

Balanced chemical reaction: 3A + B → 2AB.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(A) : n(AB) = 3 : 2.

n(A) = 3 · n(AB) ÷ 2.

A and B are reactants and AB is product of balanced chemical reaction.

For every two AB produced, the reaction requires one B.

4) Answer is:

the amount of required activation energy = potential energy of the B - potential energy of the reactants A.

the enthalpy change of the reaction = potential energy of the products C - potential energy of the reactants A.

For all chemical reaction some energy is required and that energy is called activation energy (energy that needs to be absorbed for a chemical reaction to start).

This is endothermic reaction.

Why can water pass through sandstrone but not through shale

Valentin [98]

It really depends on the 'type' of rock it is. By this I mean whether it's impermeable or permeable. Impermeable rocks don't allow water through and permeable rocks do. It has to do with how 'porous' a rock is: how many openings it has and how spaced apart are its particles are. Sandstone is permeable and Shale impermeable.

Omg GUYS I NEED HELPPP

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

27) Partial pressure of oxygen: 57.8 kPa

29) Final volume: 80 mL

30) Final volume: 8987 L

31) Due to property of water of being polar, ice floats on water

Explanation:

27)

In a mixture of gases, the total pressure of the mixture is the sum of the partial pressures:

$p_T = p_1 + p_2 + ... + p_N$

In this problem, the mixture contains 3 gases (helium, carbon dioxide and oxygen). We know that the total pressure is

$p_T=201.4 kPa$

We also know the partial pressures of helium and carbon dioxide:

$P_{He}=125.4 kPa\\P_{CO_2}=18.2 kPa$

The total pressure can be written as

$p_T=p_{He}+p_{CO_2}+p_{O_2}$

where $p_{O_2}$ is the partial pressure of oxygen. Therefore, we find

$p_{O_2}=p_T-p_{He}-p_{CO_2}=201.4-125.4-18.2=57.8 kPa$

29)

Assuming that the pressure of the gas is constant, we can apply Charle's law, which states that:

"For an ideal gas at constant pressure, the volume of the gas is proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically,

$\frac{V}{T}=const.$

where

V is the volume of the gas

T is the Kelvin temperature

We can re-write it as

$\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}$

Here we have:

$V_1 = 42 mL$ (initial volume)

$T_1=-89^{\circ}C+273=184 K$ is the initial temperature

$T_2=77^{\circ}C+273=350 K$ is the final temperature

Solving for V2, we find the final volume:

$V_2=\frac{V_1 T_2}{T_1}=\frac{(42)(350)}{184}=80 mL$

30)

For this problem, we can use the equation of state for ideal gases, which can be written as

$\frac{p_1 V_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2 V_2}{T_2}$

where in this problem:

$p_1 = 102.3 kPa$ is the initial pressure

$V_1=1975 L$ is the initial volume

$T_1=25^{\circ}C+273=298 K$ is the initial temperature

$p_2=21.5 kPa$ is the final pressure

$T_2=12^{\circ}C+273=285 K$ is the final temperature

And solving for V2, we find the final volume of the balloon:

$V_2=\frac{p_1 V_1 T_2}{p_2 T_1}=\frac{(102.3)(1975)(285)}{(21.5)(298)}=8987 L$

A molecule of water consists of two atoms hydrogen bond with an atom of oxygen ( $H_2 O$ ) in a covalent bond.

While the molecul of water is overall neutral, due to the higher electronegativity of the oxygen atom, electrons are slightly shifted towards the oxygen atom; as a result, there is a slightly positive charge on the hydrogen side, and a slightly negative charge on the oxygen side (so, the molecules is said to be polar).

As a consequence, molecules of water attract each other, forming the so-called "hydrogen bonds".

One direct consequence of the polarity of water is that ice floats on liquid water.

Normally, for every substance on Earth, the solid state is more dense than the liquid state. However, this is not true for water, because ice is less dense than liquid water.

This is due to the polarity of water. In fact, when the temperature of water is decreased to freezing point and water becomes ice, the hydrogen bondings "force" the molecules to arrange in a lattice structure, so that the molecules become more spaced when they turn into solid state. As a result, ice occupies more volume than water, and therefore it is less dense, being able to float on water.

How many molecules are there in 4.00 l of oxygen gas at 500.∘ c and 50.0 torr?

Oliga [24]

From the ideal gas law
pv=nRT , n is therefore PV/RT
R is the
R is gas constant =62.364 torr/mol/k
P=500torr
V=4.00l
T=500+273=773k
n={(500 torr x 4.00l)/(62.364 x773k)}=0.041moles
the number of molecules=moles x avorgadro costant that is 6.022x10^23)
6.022 x 10^23) x0.041=2.469 x10^22molecules
