How do surface waves form?

Ocean surface waves are surface waves that occur at the surface of an ocean. They usually result from distant winds or geologic effects and may travel thousands of miles before striking land. They range in size from small ripples to huge tsunamis. There is surprisingly little actual forward motion of individual water particles in a wave, despite the large amount of forward energy it may carry.

An aqueous 0.300 M glucose solution is prepared with a total volume of 0.150 L. The molecular weight of

kherson [118]

Answer:

We need 8.11 grams of glucose for this solution

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molarity of the glucose solution = 0.300 M

Total volume = 0.150 L

The molecular weight of glucose = 180.16 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of glucose in the solution

Moles glucose = molarity solution * volume

Moles glucose = 0.300 M * 0.150 L

Moles glucose = 0.045 moles glucose

Step 3: Calculate mass of glucose

MAss glucose = moles glucose* molecular weight of glucose

MAss glucose = 0.045 moles * 180.16 g/mol

MAss glucose = 8.11 grams

We need 8.11 grams of glucose for this solution

Combustion of hydrocarbons such as nonane () produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosp

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Part 1: C₉H₂₀ (l) + 14O₂ (g) ----> 9CO₂ (g) + 10H₂0 (g)

Part 2: Volume of CO₂ produced = 1223.21 L

<em>Note: the complete second part of the question is given below:</em>

<em>2. Suppose 0.470 kg of nonane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 17.0 °C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.</em>

Explanation:

Part 1: Balanced chemical equation

C₉H₂₀ (l) + 14O₂ (g) ----> 9CO₂ (g) + 10H₂0 (g)

Part 2: volume of carbon dioxide produced

From the equation of the reaction;

At s.t.p., I mole of C₉H₂₀ reacts with 14 moles of O₂ to produce 9 moles of CO₂

molar mass of C₉H₂₀ = 128g/mol: molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol, molar volume of gas at s.t.p. = 22.4 L

Therefore, 128 g of C₉H₂₀ produces 14 * 22.4 L of CO₂ i.e. 313.6 L of CO₂.

O.470 Kg of nonane = 470 g of nonane

470 g of C₉H₂₀ will produce 470 * (313.6/128) L of CO₂ = 1151.50 L of CO₂

Volume of CO₂ gas produced at 1 atm and 17 °C;

Using P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

V₂ = P₁V₁T₂/P₂T₁

where P₁ = 1 atm, V₁ = 1151.50 L, T₁ = 273 K, P₂ = 1 atm, T₂ = 17 + 273 = 290 K

Substituting the values; V₂ = (1 * 1151.5 * 290)/(1 * 273)

Therefore volume of CO₂ produced, V₂ = 1223.21 L of CO₂

Consider the balanced chemical reaction when phosphorus and iodine react to produce phosphorus triodide: 2 P(s) + 3 I2(g) → 2 PI

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Percent yield of PI3 = 95.4%

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

2P (s) + 3I2 (g) > 2PI3 (g)

Let's determine the moles of iodine that has reacted.

58.6 g / 253.8 g/mol = 0.231 mol

Ratio is 3:2. Let's make a rule of three to state the moles produced at 100 % yield reaction.

3 moles of I2 react to make 2 moles of PI3

0.231 moles of I2 would make (0.231 .2) / 3 = 0.154 moles of PI3

As we have produced 0.147 moles let's determine the percent yield.

(Yield produced / Theoretical yield) . 100 > (0.147 / 0.154) . 100 = 95.4%
