Before we describe the phases of the Moon, let's describe what they're not. Some people mistakenly believe the phases come from Earth's shadow cast on the Moon. Others think that the Moon changes shape due to clouds. These are common misconceptions, but they're not true. Instead, the Moon's phase depends only on its position relative to Earth and the Sun.

The Moon doesn't make its own light, it just reflects the Sun's light as all the planets do. The Sun always illuminates one half of the Moon. Since the Moon is tidally locked, we always see the same side from Earth, but there's no permanent "dark side of the Moon." The Sun lights up different sides of the Moon as it orbits around Earth – it's the fraction of the Moon from which we see reflected sunlight that determines the lunar phase.

What volume will be occupied by 33.0 grams of CO2 at 500 torr and 27 °C?
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

V = 27.98 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CO₂ = 33.0 g

Pressure = 500 torr

Temperature = 27°C

Volume occupied = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of CO₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 33.0 g/ 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.75 mol

Volume of CO₂:

PV = nRT

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

Now we will convert the temperature.

27+273 = 300 K

Pressure = 500 /760 = 0.66 atm

By putting values,

0.66 atm×V = 0.75 mol × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  × 300 K

V = 18.47 atm.L/0.66 atm

V = 27.98 L

The Gulf Stream is a current that carries water north along the eastern coast of the United States. Which of the following descr
ozzi

The correct answer is - C. Warm water is carried to cooler parts of the ocean.

The Gulf Stream is warm ocean current. It is an ocean current that originates from the Caribbean region, where it is constantly warm throughout the year. Because of that, the water is warm as well, and since the warm water is less dense, it moves on the surface. The movement is toward the higher latitudes, where this current, as a surface movement of the water, is bringing warmer water to the cooler areas, such as the eastern coast of the United States. Not only that warm water is brought to these areas, but the Gulf Stream also brings in warm and moist air masses with it, making the climate much more mild, and increasing the amount of precipitation.

Type the CONVERSION factor (fraction) to calculate the moles in 15.0 g
kari74 [83]

Explanation:

5g C7H8 / 92g/mole = 0.054moles

total moles = 0.232moles

mole fraction C6H12 = 0.178moles / 0.232moles = 0.767

mole fraction C7H8 = 0.233

You have 500.0 ml of a buffer solution containing 0.30 m acetic acid (ch3cooh) and 0.20 m sodium acetate (ch3coona). what will t
Nataly [62]
First, we should get moles acetic acid = molarity * volume

                                                                =0.3 M * 0.5 L

                                                                =  0.15 mol

then, we should get moles acetate = molarity * volume

                                                           = 0.2 M * 0.5L

                                                           = 0.1 mol

then, we have to get moles of OH- which added:

moles OH- = molarity  * volume

                   = 1 M    * 0.02L

                  = 0.02 mol

when the reaction equation is:


                 CH3COOH  +  OH-  → CH3COO-   +  H2O


moles acetic acid after adding OH- = (0.15-0.02) 
                                             
                                                            =  0.13M                                       

moles acetate after adding OH- =  (0.1 + 0.02)

                                                      =   0.12 M

Total volume = 0.5 L + 0.02 L= 0.52 L

∴[acetic acid] = moles acetic acid after adding OH- / total volume

                        = 0.13mol / 0.52L

                       = 0.25 M

and [acetate ) = 0.12 mol / 0.52L
 
                        = 0.23 M

by using H-H equation we can get PH:

PH = Pka + ㏒[salt/acid]

when we have Ka = 1.8 x 10^-5

∴Pka = -㏒Ka 

        = -㏒ 1.8 x 10^-5

       = 4.7

So by substitution:

∴ PH = 4.7 + ㏒[acetate/acetic acid]

         = 4.7 + ㏒(0.23/0.25)

        = 4.66
