The end of the world as we know it could come in any number of ways, depending on who you ask. Some people believe global cataclysm will occur when Earth's magnetic poles reverse. When north goes south, they say, the continents will lurch in one direction or the other, triggering massive earthquakes, rapid climate change and species extinctions.
The most dramatic changes that occur when the poles reverse is a very large decrease of the total field intensity,
Earth's magnetic field takes between 1,000 and 10,000 years to reverse, and in the process, it greatly diminishes before it re-aligns. It's not a sudden flip, but a slow process, during which the field strength becomes weak, very probably the field becomes more complex and might show more than two poles for a while, and then builds up in strength and [aligns] in the opposite direction.
Answer:
(a) 77.9 g/mol
(b) 3.18 g / L
Explanation:
<u>(a)</u> We need to use the ideal gas law, which states: PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the moles, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvins.
Notice that we don't have moles; we instead have the mass. Remember, though that moles can be written as m/M, where m is the mass and M is the molar mass. So, we can replace n in the equation with m/M, or 21.3/M. The components we now have are:
- P: 0.880 atm
- V: 7.73 Litres
- n: m/M = 21.3 g / M
- R: 0.08206
- T: 30.00°C + 273 = 303 K
Plug these in:
PV = nRT
(0.880)(7.73) = (21.3/M)(0.08206)(303)
Solve for M:
M = 77.9 g/mol
<u>(b)</u> The equation for the molar mass is actually:
M = (dRT)/P, where d is the density
We have all the components except d, so plug them in:
77.9 = (d * 0.08206 * 298) / 1
Solve for d:
d = 3.18 g / L
I believe it is:
CH4
Ar
Cl2
CH2COOH
I hope this helps :)
