The correct answer is D. Light bulbs

Explanation:

In chemistry, halogens are a group of elements characterized for being non-metallic elements (they cannot conduct heat or electricity), and for forming salts. In terms of uses, halogens had been used mainly as part of disinfectants, as well as, in the production of light bulbs and lamps. This last application implies small quantities of halogens such as iodine are used in the mechanism of bulbs or lamps and this is a better option than other elements as it increases the life of the bulb and makes bulbs to a whither color. According to this, one use of halogens is light bulbs.

The atomic number of Re is 75. The atomic mass of one of its isotopes is 186. How many neutrons are in an atom of this isotope?

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

B.111

Explanation:

Atomic mass = number of protons(or atomic number) + number of neutrons

186 = 75 + number of neutrons

number of neutrons = 186 -75 = 111

Solar radiation provides more heat and cleaner than near the pools on Earth the greatest amount of heat is moved away from the e

Rashid [163]

Answer:

Ocean Currents

Explanation:

The correct answer is Ocean currents.

When the earth receives solar radiation, a large fraction of this incident radiation is usually absorbed by the oceans and the seas, which become warm. Usually, equitorial regions are the ones that have this phenomenon. Now, when ocean currents are flowing from the equator, they usually carry this warm water with them thereby moving the greatest amount of heat from the equator on its way out.

For example, In the Pacific Ocean, there is a current known as Alaska Current that carries warm water in the northward direction thereby making Anchorage which is Alaska's largest city to have a much mild weather than the inland areas with the same latitude.

What is a state function?

fredd [130]

Is a function defined for a system relating several state variables or state quantities that depends only on the current equilibrium thermodynamic state of the system[1] (e.g. gas, liquid, solid, crystal, or emulsion), not the path which the system took to reach its present state. A state function describes the equilibrium state of a system, thus also describing the type of system. For example, a state function could describe an atom or molecule in a gaseous, liquid, or solid form; a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture; and the amounts of energy required to create such systems or change them into a different equilibrium state.

What mass of butane in grams is necessary to produce 1.5×103 kj of heat what mass of co2 is produced?

kari74 [83]

The heat of reaction (i.e. combustion) of butane ( $C_{4} H_{10}$ ) when reacted with oxygen ( $O_{2}$ )  is -2658 kJ/mol butane, and the chemical reaction is given by:

$C_{4} H_{10}$ + $\frac{13}{2} O_{2}$ ---> $4 CO_{2}$ + $5 H_{2}O$

The mass of butane required in the reaction is based on the heat produced by the reaction, which is given to be -1,500 kJ. The minus sign is added because the reaction releases heat (exothermic), which means that the products are in a "lower energy state" than the reactants.

Dividing this with the heat of reaction per mole of butane reacted would give the number of moles butane required. Then, multiplying the answer with the molar mass of butane which is 58 grams/mole, will give the mass of butane required.

Moles of butane = [(-1,500 kJ)/(-2658 kJ/mol butane)]
Moles of butane = 0.5643 moles butane

Mass of butane  = 0.5643 moles butane * 58 grams/mol butane
Mass of butane = 32.73 grams butane

The mass of carbon dioxide ( $CO_{2}$ ) can be determined by multiplying the moles of butane ( $C_{4} H_{10}$ ) with the mole ratio of ( $CO_{2}$ ) produced to the ( $C_{4} H_{10}$ ) reacted, and then with the molar mass of ( $CO_{2}$ ), which is 44 grams/mole.

Mass of carbon dioxide produced
= 0.5643 moles butane * [4 moles $CO_{2}$ / 1 mole $C_{4} H_{10}$ ] * 44 grams/mole $CO_{2}$

Mass of carbon dioxide produced
= 99.32 grams $CO_{2}$

Thus, the mass of butane required is 32.73 grams, and the mass of carbon dioxide produced from the reaction of this amount of butane is 99.32 grams.
