They go back from rain

Nutrients can come back to soil through animals, plants, and even water. When animals die or produce waste, the nutrients returns to the soil and degrades with time. When a plant dies or a fruit from a tree falls to the ground, once the object disintegrates with time, nutrients is returned. Water can also bring things to the soil when it rains.

What data should be plotted to show that experimental concentration data fits a first-order reaction? A) 1/[reactant] vs. time B

natita [175]

Answer:

C) In[reactant] vs. time

Explanation:

For a first order reaction the integrated rate law equation is:

$A = A_{0}e^{-kt}$

where A(0) = initial concentration of the reactant

A = concentration after time 't'

k = rate constant

Taking ln on both sides gives:

$ln[A] = ln[A]_{0}-kt$

Therefore a plot of ln[A] vs t should give a straight line with a slope = -k

Hence, ln[reactant] vs time should be plotted for a first order reaction.

Why is it impossible to ever prove that a hypothesis is true?

maria [59]

Answer: A

Explanation:

Hypothesis have to be based on previous knowledge and have to be able to be tested but the problem is most hypothesis can’t be explained so it’s impossible to prove a hypothesis correct because science uses inductive reasoning

Help! please! hurry! I will mark brainliest if you get it correct!! NO SPAM!!!!!!

Troyanec [42]

Answer: 5.747 * 10^14 Hz

Explanation:

Convert 522nm to m = 522 * 10^-9 m (since 1nm=10^-9m)

If c = wavelength * frequency, where c is the speed of light (3.0 * 10^8 m/s), then you can manipulate the equation to solve for frequency (f).

f = c / wavelength

Plug in the given numbers:

f = (3.0 * 10^8) / (10^-9)

f = 5.747 * 10^14 Hz

When carbon is burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When 14.4 g of carbon were burned in the presence of

Natasha2012 [34]

When carbon reacts with oxygen it forms CO2. This can depicted by the below equation.

C + O2→ CO2

It has been mentioned that when 14.4 g of C reacts with 53.9 g of O2, then 15.5 g of O2 remains unreacted. This indicates that Carbon is the limiting reagent and hence the amount of CO2 produced is based on the amount of Carbon burnt.

C + O2→ CO2

In the above equation , 1 mole of carbon reacts with 1 mole of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2.

In this case 14.4 g of Carbon reacts with 53.9 of O2 to produce "x"g of CO2.

No of moles = mass of the substance÷molar mass of the substance

No of moles of carbon = 14.4 /12= 1.2 moles

No of moles of O2 = Mass of reacted O2/Molar mass of O2.

No of moles of O2 = (Total mass of O2 burned - Mass of unreacted O2)/32

No of moles of O2 = (53.9-15.5) ÷ 32 = 1.2 moles.

Hence as already discussed 1 mole of Carbon reacts with 1 mole of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2. In this case 1.2 moles of carbon reacts with 1.2 moles of O2 to produce 1.2 moles of CO2.

Moles of carbon dioxide = Mass of CO2 produced /Molar mass of CO2

Mass of CO2 produced(x) = Moles of CO2 ×Molar mass of CO2

Mass of CO2 produced(x) = 1.2 x 44 = 52.8 g

Thus 52.8 g of CO2 is produced.
