Chemistry

Maru [420]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Islands and coastal places have moderate pleasant climates.

Explanation:

The specific heat of water is high as compared to most common substances. The high specific heat means that it takes lot of time to heat the water. As a consequence in coastal areas, during day, the land gets heated quickly than water.

The air above land gets heated up and due to low density, rises. The air above water which is cool rushes to take its place. The wind moves sea towards land- sea breeze. At night, the land and air above it is cooler as compared to air above water. The wind blows from land towards sea - Land breeze.

Due to sea breeze and land breeze, islands and coastal places have moderate pleasant climates.

Two isotopes of hypothetical element X exist with abundances of 30.00% 100X and 70.00% 101X. What is the approximate atomic mass
Rasek [7]

Answer:

C. 100.7 amu

Explanation:

Isotopes of an element are atoms of an element with the same atomic number but different atomic masses. Each atomic mass of an isotope is known as an isotopic mass. An element that exhibits isotope, that is, that have two or more isotopes has a relative atomic mass that is not a whole number.

Relative atomic mass of X is the sum of the products of the relative abundances of each isotope and its isotopic mass.

For Isotope ¹⁰⁰X: 30% × 100 = 30 amu

For Isotope ¹⁰¹X: 70% × 101 = 70.7 amu

Relative atomic mass of X = (30 + 70.7) amu = 100.7 amu

Therefore, the approximate atomic mass of X is 100.7 amu

Hydrogen gas reacts rapidly with oxygen gas in the presence of a platinum catalyst. which equation correctly represents this rea
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g), in presence of Pt as a catalyst.

Explanation:

The reaction:

<em>2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g), in presence of Pt as a catalyst.</em>

2.0 moles of hydrogen gas react with 1.0 mole of oxygen gas to produce 2.0 moles of water vapor in presence of Pt as a catalyst.

Which of the following is true about chlorofluorocarbons Group of answer choices a. they are now the dominant gas in the stratos
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Chlorofluorocarbon is referred to as one of the important greenhouse gas, that is responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer. It was earlier extensively used in the refrigerators, but are later observed that as the CFC molecules are disintegrated in the atmosphere, it gives rise to the elimination of chlorine atoms that destroy the ozone layer, allowing the ultraviolet radiations to enter the earth's atmosphere. So, the use of CFCs has been banned globally by international treaties.

This gas is long-lasting, and remains in the atmosphere for about 20 to 100 years, is not that effective to human bodies, and present in the stratosphere in a very small amount.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
