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.

In order to promote the common ion effect, the concentration of the common ion must first:_____.
Svet_ta [14]

We need to increase the concentration of common ion first, in order to promote the common ion effect

<h3>What is the Common ion effect?</h3>

It is an effect that suppresses the dissociation of salt due to the addition of another salt having common ions.

For example, a saturated solution of silver chloride in equilibrium has Ag⁺ and Cl⁻ . Sodium Chloride is added to the solution and has a common ion Cl⁻. As a result, the equilibrium shifts to the left to form more silver chloride. Thus, solubility of AgCl decreases.

The Equilibrium law states that if a process is in equilibrium and is subjected to a change

  • in temperature,
  • pressure,
  • the concentration of reactant or product,

then the equilibrium shifts in a particular direction, according to the condition.

Thus, an increase in the concentration of common ion promotes the common ion effect.

What is the balanced form of the following equation? Br 2 + S 2 O 3 2– + H 2 O → Br 1– + SO 4 2– + H +
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

4Br₂+ 5H₂O+ S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8Br⁻

Explanation:

Br₂ +  S₂O₃²⁻  + H₂O  → Br⁻ + SO₄²⁻ + H⁺

This is a redox reaction:

Br₂ changes the oxidation state from 0 to -1, so it was reduced

In the S₂O₃⁻² anion S changes the oxidation state from +2 to +6 in sulfate anion. (S₂O₃⁻², it is called thiosulfate)

We have protons in the main equation, so we assume we are in acidic medium:

Br₂ + 2e⁻ → 2Br⁻         Reduction

We balanced the bromide with 2, so the bromine has gained 2 electrons.

<u>5H₂O</u> + S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + <u>10H⁺</u> + <em>8e</em>-  Oxidation

First of all, we add 2 to the sulfate anion in the product side, in order to balance the S.

As we have 8 O in right side, and 3 O in left side, we must add 5 O. We add 5 water in the place where the O are lower (reactant side).

Now, we have 10 H, in the reactant side, so we balance the product side with protons (10 H⁺).

Sulfur changed the oxidation state from +2 to +6, so it released 4 electrons, but, if you see thiosulfate anion you have 2 sulfurs so finally it has released 8 electrons.

Electrons are unbalanced so we multiply reduction x4, and oxidation x1.

(Br₂ + 2e⁻ → 2Br⁻) . 4 = 4Br₂ + 8e⁻ → 8Br⁻

(5H₂O + S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + <em>8e</em>-) . 1 = STAYS THE SAME.

We sum both half reactions, to cancel the elecetrons:

4Br₂ + 8e⁻ + 5H₂O + S₂O₃²⁻  → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + <em>8e</em>- + 8Br⁻

Finally the balanced reaction is: 4Br₂+ 5H₂O+ S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8Br⁻
