Several billion years ago, which gas was the least prevalent in the atmosphere?

Chemistry

Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago
7 0
The least prevalent gas in the atmosphere was oxygen several billion years ago. This is because it was only around 2.4-3 billion years ago when the first photosynthetic bacteria evolved, meaning they produce food from inorganic compounds such as carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen. Oxygen is then released in the atmosphere and this is called <em>The Great Oxygenation Event</em>.

A baseball player hits a ball. Which is the best description of the energy of the ball as it flies over the pitcher’s head?
Elan Coil [88]

The right option is; b. mechanical

Mechanical energy is the best description of the energy of the ball as it flies over the pitcher’s head.

Mechanical energy is the energy that an object acquires due to its position or due to its motion. From the question, the baseball player has chemical potential energy (stored as food) which is transformed into work. As the baseball player hits the ball, there is energy exchange in which the ball acquires energy to perform its work. The energy obtained by the ball upon which work is done is called mechanical energy.

How much energy (heat) is required to convert 52.0 g of ice at –10.0°C to steam at 100°C? Specific heat of ice 2.09 J/g • °C Spe
dexar [7]

Answer: The energy (heat) required to convert 52.0 g of ice at –10.0°C to steam at 100°C is 157.8 kJ

Explanation:

Using this formular, q = [mCpΔT] and = [nΔHfusion]

The energy that is needed in the different physical changes is thus:

The heat needed to raise the ice temperature from -10.0°C to 0°C is given as as:

q = [mCpΔT]

q = 52.0 x 2.09 x 10

q = 1.09 kJ

While from 0°C to 100°C is calculated as:

q = [mCpΔT]

q = 52.0 x 4.18 x 100

q = 21.74 kJ

And for fusion at 0°C is called Heat of fusion and would be given as:

q = n ΔHfusion

q = 52.0 / 18.02 x 6.02

q = 17.38 kJ

And that required for vaporization at 100°C is called Heat of vaporization and it's given as:

q = n ΔHvaporization

q = 52.0 / 18.02 x 40.7

q = 117.45 kJ

Add up all the energy gives 157.8 kJ
