What was the oxygen crisis

Chemistry

salantis [7]3 years ago

The Great Oxidation Event (GOE), sometimes also called the Great Oxygenation Event, Oxygen Catastrophe, Oxygen Crisis, Oxygen Holocaust,[2] or Oxygen Revolution, was a time period when the Earth's atmosphere and the shallow ocean first experienced a rise in oxygen, approximately 2.4 billion years ago (2.4 Ga) to 2.1–2.0 Ga during the Paleoproterozoic era.[3] Geological, isotopic, and chemical evidence suggests that biologically produced molecular oxygen (dioxygen, O2) started to accumulate in Earth's atmosphere and changed Earth's atmosphere from a weakly reducing atmosphere to an oxidizing atmosphere,[4] causing many existing species on Earth to die out.[5] The cyanobacteria producing the oxygen caused the event which enabled the subsequent development of multicellular forms.

A mixture contains only NaCl and Al2(SO4)3. A 1.45-g sample of the mixture is dissolved in water, and an ex- cess of NaOH is add
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The mass percent of aluminum sulfate in the sample is 16.18%.

Explanation:

Mass of the sample = 1.45 g

Al_2SO_3+6NaOH\rightarrow 2Al(OH)_3+3Na_2SO_4

Mass of the precipitate = 0.107 g

Moles of aluminum hydroxide = \frac{0.107 g}{78 g/mol}=0.001372 mol

According to reaction, 2 moles of aluminum hydroxide is obtained from 1 mole of aluminum sulfate .

Then 0.001372 moles of aluminum hydroxide will be obtained from:

\frac{1}{2}\times 0.001372 mol=0.000686 mol

Mass of 0.000686 moles of aluminum sulfate :

= 0.000686 mol × 342 g/mol = 0.2346 g

The mass percent of aluminum sulfate in the sample:

=\frac{ 0.2346 g}{1.45g}\times 100=16.18\%

Why does earth have uranium
Rainbow [258]
The isotope U-235 is important because under certain conditions it can readily be split, yielding a lot of energy. It is therefore said to be 'fissile' and we use the expression 'nuclear fission'. Meanwhile, like all radioactive isotopes, they decay.

Each A atom is adjacent to 3 B atoms. What is the A-C-B bond angle?
Nutka1998 [239]
Using the simulation to build a system with 5 bonds. The resulting structure is called the Trigonal bipyramidal structure. The two different sites in a trigonal bipyramid are labeled as A and B in the drawing to the right. 
In this case, therefore, the bond angle A-C-B is 90 Degrees (right angle)

Which reaction represents the process of neutralization? Mg(s)+2HCl(aq) MgCl 2 (aq)+H 2 (g) HCl(aq)+KOH(aq) KCl(aq)+H 2 O(l) C.
Alex

Answer:

HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) --> KCl(aq) + H2O(l)

Explanation:

A neutralization reaction is the process between an acid and a base (there are a number of different ways to define acids and bases). An acid is a compound, which dissolves in water by releasing H+ ions, and a base is a compound, which dissolves in water by releasing OH- ions (by Arrhenius' definition, the simplest one). In this case, the neutralization reaction is the process between HCl (hydrochloric acid) - an acid, and KOH (potassium hydroxide) - a base.
