Answer:

Hello, the above question is not complete, nonetheless let us check somethings out.

Explanation:

Paleothermometer definition is from two words, that is "Paleo" which means something that is old and ''thermometer" which is an instrument for measuring temperature. So, if we add this up, Paleothermometer is an instrument for measuring "old" temperature, that is temperature. One of the Paleothermometer that is been used is the δ18O which is the one in the question that has isotopic ratio of 18O/16O, and it deals with the measurement of 18O to 16O. The others include Alkenones Paleothermometer, Mg/Ca Paleothermometer, Leaf physiognomy and so on.

If the values of the isotopic ratio that is 18O/16O ratio is low, then the temperature is high. To Calculate the 18O/16O ratio for ancient ocean then we will be using the equation below;

δ18O = (z - 1) × 1000. Where z= [(18O/16O)/( 18O/16O)sm. And sm= standard mean.

The pH of a solution is 5.0. To a 10 ml of this
mylen [45]

Answer:

pH = 7

Explanation:

pH is defined as -log [H⁺]. In a solution of pH 5:

pH = -log [H⁺]

10^(-5) = [H⁺]

1x10⁻⁵M = [H⁺].

Then, this solution is diluted from 10mL to 1000mL (990mL of water + 10mL of the original solution). That means the solution is diluted:

1000mL / 10mL / 100 times.

If [H⁺] before dilution was 1x10⁻⁵M, after dilution will be:

1x10⁻⁵M / 100 = 1x10⁻⁷M

And pH:

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log 1x10⁻⁷M

<h3>pH = 7</h3>

Magnesium metal reacts with iodine gas at high temperatures to form magnesium iodide. what mass of mgi2 can be produced from the
sergiy2304 [10]
<span>54.8 g of MgI2 can be produced. To solve this, you need to determine the molar mass of each reactant and the product. First, look up the atomic weights of iodine and magnesium Atomic weight of Iodine = 126.90447 Atomic weight of Magnesium = 24.305 Molar mass of MgI2 = 24.305 + 2 * 126.90447 = 278.11394 Now determine how many moles of Iodine and Magnesium you have moles of Iodine = 50.0 g / 126.90447 g/mol = 0.393997154 mole moles of Magnesium = 5.15 / 24.305 g/mol = 0.211890557 mole Since for every magnesium atom, you need 2 iodine atoms and since the number of moles of available iodine isn't at least 2 times the available moles of magnesium, iodine is the limiting reagent. So figure out how many moles of magnesium will be consumed by the iodine 0.393997154 mole / 2 = 0.196998577 mole. This means that you can make 0.196998577 moles of MgI2. Now simply multiply by the previously calculated molar mass of MgI2 0.196998577 mole * 278.11394 g/mole = 54.78805 g Round the result to the correct number of significant figures. 54.78805 g = 54.8 g</span>

Please help to me solve these ! :)
emmainna [20.7K]
I. The solubility of NaCl at 25 degrees C would be between the solubilities at 20 and 30 degrees C. A reasonable answer would be 36 grams/100 g water
ii. From the table, it’s clear that the salts are more soluble at higher temperatures, indicating that an increase in temperature increases solubility.
iii. At 50 degrees C, a saturated ammonium chloride solution will have 50.6 grams of salt per 100 g water. At 20 degrees C, the solution can hold only 37.3 grams of salt per 100 g water. Thus, 13.3 grams of salt will precipitate per 100 grams of water.
