An element is an atom or group of the same type of atom in a concentrated, pure form. A molecule is a group of atoms that aren't all necessarily the same type of element. For example, in a sample of elemental iron, every atom in the sample will be an iron atom whereas in table salt, NaCl, half of the atoms are sodium atoms and the rest are chlorine atoms. Atoms are composed of a nucleus which has neutrally charged neutrons and  positively charged protons, surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. Number of electrons and neutrons may vary from atom to atom of the same element, but the number of protons in the atom determine what element it is.

Nitrogen monoxide, NO, is formed in automobile exhaust by the reaction of nitrogen and oxygen in the air: N2 (g) + O2 (g) ↔ NO (
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The equilibrium concentration of NO is 0.001335 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The equilibrium constant Kc is 0.0025 at 2127 °C

An equilibrium mixture contains 0.023M N2 and 0.031 M O2,

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2(g) + O2(g) ↔ 2NO(g)

Step 3:  Concentration at the equilibrium

[N2] = 0.023 M

[O2] = 0.031 M

Kc = 0.0025 = [NO]² / [N2][O2]

Kc = 0.0025 = [NO]² / (0.023)(0.031)

[NO] = 0.001335 M

The equilibrium concentration of NO is 0.001335 M

The molar solubility of C a ( O H ) 2 C a ( O H ) 2 was experimentally determined to be 0.019 M. Based on this value, what is th
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Ksp = 2.74 x 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

The solubility equilibrium for Ca(OH)₂ is the following:

  Ca(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

I                          0                0

C                       + s               + 2s

E                        s                   2s

According to the ICE table, the expression for the solubility product constant (Kps) is:

Ksp = [Ca²⁺] x ([OH⁻])² = s x (2s)² = 4s³

Then, we calculate Ksp from the solubility value (s):

s = 0.019 M

⇒ Ksp = 4s³ = 4 x (0.019)³ = 2.74 x 10⁻⁵

Which period is older than the Triassic period? Cambrian Cretaceous Jurassic Paleogene.
scoundrel [369]

The Triassic period is one of the geological periods and is the shortest of the Mesozoic era. Cambrian is the older era than the Triassic period.

<h3>What is Cambrian and triassic period?</h3>

The Triassic period existed 250 -200 million years ago and started after the vastest and most extreme devastation ever. It is the 1st period of the Mesozoic and is known for the movement of the Dinosaurs on the land, flying pterosaurs and swimming plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs.

The Cambrian is the period of the Paleozoic era and is the most important period because of the appearance of many animals. In this period, the temperature raised on the planet and the ice sheets melted at a very dangerous rate leading to mass devastation.

Therefore, option A. <u>Cambrian</u> is older than the Triassic period.
