What creates the van allen belts

Chemistry
2 answers:
Pavlova-9 [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

b. deflection of charged particles  

Explanation:

The Van Allen Belt is a region where various atmospheric phenomena occur due to deflection of charged particles in the Earth's magnetic field, discovered in 1958 by James Van Allen, who designed a cosmic ray experiment embarked on the American explorer spacecraft Explorer 1, launched in January 2000. 1958. Van Allen's radiations do not occur, except for rare exceptions, at the poles, but in the equatorial region. These form two ring-shaped belts, centered on the equator.  The innermost reaches between altitudes of one thousand and five thousand kilometers, its maximum intensity occurring on average at three thousand kilometers. It consists of highly energetic protons, which originate from the decay of neutrons produced when cosmic rays from outer space collide with atoms and molecules of the earth's atmosphere. Some of the neutrons are ejected out of the atmosphere and disintegrate into protons and electrons as they cross this region of the belt. These particles move in spiral trajectories along force lines of the earth's magnetic field.

How many grams of oxygen gas are required to produce 65.75 grams of steam?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The mass of oxygen gas required to produce 65.75 grams of steam is approximately 162.2 grams

Explanation:

From the question, we have the following chemical reaction equation;

2C₃H₁₈(l) + 25O₂ (g) → 16CO₂(g) + 18H₂O (g)

The molar mass of oxygen, O₂ = 32 g/mol

The molar mass of steam, H₂O = 18.01528 g/mol

25 moles of oxygen are required to produce 18 moles of steam

Therefore, according to  Proust's law of definite proportions;

(32 × 25) g of oxygen are required to produce (18 × 18.01528) g of steam

65.75 g of steam will be produced by (32 × 25)/(18 × 18.01528) × 65.75 g ≈ 162.2 g of oxygen O₂.

algol13

Answer:

HCl, ya que la sustancia es una base que se debe titular con un ácido.

Explanation:

¡Hola!

En este caso, teniendo en cuenta la descripción inicial de la sustancia, la cual se torna violeta cuando se le agrega la fenolftaleína, es posible inderir que esta sustancia es una base con pH básico. Ahora bien, en torno a la especificación de un proceso de titulación, es claro que dicha base debe ser titulada con un ácido, y este caso, con HCl, ácido chlorhídrico, con el fin the alcanzar el punto de equivalencia.

¡Saludos!
