<h2>Giant impact and metalcore.</h2>

Explanation :

Mercury has a large core of liquid metal.
The metal core is of iron metal.
The core is surrounded by a mantle which is made up of silica and a solid outer crust.
In the case of Mercury, the total core percentage is 42% of the planet while the Earth's core is only 17% of the planet.
Mercury has lost part of its mantle and crust that left the mercury with a large metal core.

Calculate the solubility of carbon dioxide in water at an atmospheric pressure of 0.400 atm (a typical value at high altitude).A

Bond [772]

Answer:

The molar solubility of carbon dioxide gas is $4.662\times 10^{-6} M$ .

Explanation:

Henry's law states that the amount of gas dissolved or molar solubility of gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the liquid.

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

$C_{CO_2}=K_H\times p_{liquid}$

where,

$K_H$ = Henry's constant = $3.50\times 10^{-2}mol/L.atm$

$p_{CO_2}$ = partial pressure of carbonated drink

$p_{CO_2}=p\times \chi_{CO_2}$

where = p = Total pressure = 0.400 atm

$\chi_{CO_2}$ = mole fraction of $CO_2=3.33\times 10^{-4}$

$p_{CO_2}=0.400 atm\times 3.33\times 10^{-4} =0.0001332 atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$C_{CO_2}=3.5\times 10^{-2}mol/L.atm\times 0.0001332 atm\\\\C_{CO_2}=4.662\times 10^{-6} M$

Hence, the molar solubility of carbon dioxide gas is $4.662\times 10^{-6} M$ .

Photosynthesis requires energy, making it an endothermic reaction. Light, generally sunlight, is the source of this energy. The process converts the sun’s electromagnetic energy into chemical energy, which is then stored in chemical bonds in the plant. Sunlight is the primary source of energy on the surface of Earth.
