Which of the following best explains why air is considered a natural resource?

1 answer:

4 0

Aside from biological functions like breathing, the best use of air is for energy. In order to burn anything, it must react with oxygen. You can credit the energy produced by fossil fuels as much to oxygen in the air as you could to the fuel itself!

You might argue that air is a resource in pneumatic pressure systems as well, using the air as a medium for storing energy as pressure.

Air is also “mined” for trace elements through air separation. For the most part, it is nitrogen that is extracted, because it accounts for 78% of gases in the atmosphere. Trace elements like noble gases, such as argon, are also extracted in this way.

The rate of disappearance of HBr in the gas phase reaction2HBr(g) → H2(g) + Br2(g)is 0.301 M s-1 at 150°C. The rate of appearanc

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer: 0.151

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

$2HBr(g)\rightarrow H_2(g)+Br_2(g$

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.

$Rate=-\frac{1d[HBr]}{2dt}=+\frac{1d[H_2]}{2dt}=+\frac{1d[Br_2]}{dt}$

Given: $-\frac{d[HBr]}{dt}]=0.301$

Putting in the values we get:

$\frac{0.301}{2}=+\frac{1d[Br_2]}{dt}$

$+\frac{1d[Br_2]}{dt}=0.151$

Thus the rate of appearance of $Br_2$ is 0.151

Find the mass of one atom of uranium-235. Recall that the mass in atomic mass units is equal to the mass in grams of one mole of

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

$3.90*10^{-25}kg/atom$

Explanation:

The molar mass of uranium-235 is 235 g/mol. So one mole of uranium-235 has a mass of 235 g. Put differently 6.022×10^23 atoms of uranium-235 have a mass of 235 g. Knowing that, how can we use that to find the mass of one atom?

mass of one atom = $\frac{235 g}{1mol} *\frac{1 mol}{6.022*10^{23}atoms } *\frac{1kg}{1000g}= 3.90*10^{-25}kg/atom$

What is the molecular formula of the structure below?

taurus [48]

Answer:

C₆H₆

Explanation:

Each border of the figure represents 1 atom of carbon. We have 6 borders = 6 atoms of carbon.

Each atom of carbon form 4 bonds. All the carbons are doing a double bond and a single bond with other carbons. That means are bonded 3 times. The other bond (That is not represented in the figure. See the image) comes from hydrogens. As we have 6 carbons that are bonded each 1 with one hydrogen. There are six hydrogens and the molecular formula is:

This structure is: Benzene
