What is a process by which long-term carbon is released into the atmosphere

Chemistry
2 answers:
LekaFEV [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The carbon cycle

Or

Carbon moves from living things to the atmosphere. Each time you exhale, you are releasing carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the atmosphere. Animals and plants get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.

1. The reaction below describes cellular respiration. Which compounds are the reactants and which are the
swat32

Answer:

C₆H₁₂O₆ and O₂ are reactant.

CO₂ and H₂O are products.

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂  →  6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP

Explanation:

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration  

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.  

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide

This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration.

Steps involve in anaerobic respiration are:

Glycolysis

Glycolysis is the first step of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. It involve the breakdown of one glucose molecule into pyruvate and 2ATP.

Fermentation

The second step of anaerobic respiration is fermentation. It involve the fermentation of pyruvate into lactic acid or alcohol depending upon the organism in which it is taking place. There is no ATP produced, however carbon dioxide is released in this step.

Is material that has a density of 0.2g/ml good for building a bridge or for making couch cushions
lisov135 [29]
D = 0.2 g / ml = 0.2 g / cm³
For example, density of steel is 7.85 g / cm³.
Density of pure water is 1.0 g/cm³. An object which has a density < 1.0 g/cm³ will float in water.
Answer: Material that has a density of 0.2 g/ml ( 0.2 g/cm³ ) is good for making couch cushions.

A plot of binding energy per nucleon (Eb/ A) versus the mass number (A) shows that nuclei with a small mass number have a small
juin [17]

Answer:

a)   1.12 MeV / nucleon

b)   5.62 MeV / nucleon

c)  8.80 MeV / nucleon

d) 8.56 MeV / nucleon

we can conclude that the binding energy has a maximum value for nuclei with a mass around 60

Explanation:

Binding energy = ( Δm * 931.5 ) MeV

Binding energy per nucleon = Binding energy in / Number of nucleon

<u>a) ²H = 1 neutron , 1 proton = 2 nucleons </u>

Given that the theoretical mass = 2.0141 u

Actual mass = 1.0078 u + 1.0087 u = 2.0165 u

Δm  = 2.0165 u - 2.0141 u = 2.4 * 10^-3 u

∴ Binding energy per nucleon = ( 2.4 * 10^-3  * 931.5 ) MeV / 2 nucleons

                                                  = 1.12 MeV / nucleon

<u>b) ⁷Li = 3 protons , 4 neutrons = 7 nucleons </u>

theoretical mass = 7.0160 u

Actual mass = ( 3 * 1.0078 ) + ( 4 * 1.0087 )  = 7.0582 u  

Δm  = ( 7.0582 u  - 7.0160 u  ) = 0.0422 u

∴ Binding energy per nucleon = ( 0.0422 * 931.5 ) / 7

                                                  = 5.62 MeV / nucleon

<u>C) ⁶²Ni = 28 protons , 34 neutrons = 62 nucleons </u>

Theoretical mass = 61.9283 u

Actual mass = ( 28 * 1.0078 ) u + ( 34 * 1.0087 ) u

                    = 62.5142 u

Δm = 0.5859 u  

∴ Binding energy per nucleon = ( 0.5859 * 931.5 ) / 62

                                                  = 8.80 MeV / nucleon

<u>D) ¹¹⁰Cd = 48 protons , 62 neutrons = 110 nucleons </u>

Theoretical mass = 109.9030 u

Actual mass = ( 48 * 1.0078 ) + ( 62 * 1.0087 )

                    = 110.9138 u

Δm  = ( 110.9138 - 109.9030 ) = 1.0108 u

∴ Binding energy per nucleon = ( 1.0108 * 931.5 ) / 110

                                                  = 8.56 MeV / nucleon

hence we can conclude that the binding energy has a maximum value for nuclei with a mass around 60
