Does the biosphere have clear boundaries

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ne4ueva [31]3 years ago
7 0

No, the biosphere does not exhibit a clear boundary as life always comes to an end.  

The biosphere comprises all the living things of the world, like all the plants and animals. It is considered as the global ecosystem, that is, the gathering of all the planet's ecosystems. It comprises the land and the atmosphere. It is usually considered as the zone of life, where all the species of the planet thrives.

Consider the following reaction mechanism: Step 1: (CH3)3AuPH3 ↔ (CH3)3Au + PH3 (fast) Step 2: (CH3)3Au → C2H6 + (CH3)Au (slow)
netineya [11]

Answer: The balanced equation for overall reaction is:

(CH3)3AuPH3 ----> C2H6 + (CH3)AuPH3

Explanation:

The reaction mechanism is given as follows:

Step 1: (CH3)3AuPH3 ↔ (CH3)3Au + PH3 (fast)

Step 2: (CH3)3Au → C2H6 + (CH3)Au (slow)

Step 3: (CH3)Au + PH3 → (CH3)AuPH3 (fast)

To balance this equation, firstly, we conduct proper atom count for each steps of the reaction mechanism.

It is important to note that for a reaction that involves several steps, the rate law is normally derived from the slow step ( which is step2 from the above mechanism).

Therefore, the balanced chemical equation for the overall reaction is:

(CH3)3AuPH3 ----> C2H6 + (CH3)AuPH3

A student combines 364.6 g of HCl with 80 g of NaOH in 5 L of water. What additional volume of H2O must be added to this mixture
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

75L of additional water to have a pH 1 solution

Explanation:

The reaction of HCl With NaOH is:

HCl + NaOH → H₂O + NaCl

By using molar mass of each reactant you can know how many moles will react, thus:

HCl: 364.6g HCl ₓ (1mol / 36.46g) = 10 moles HCl

NaOH: 80g NaOH ₓ (1mol / 40g) = 2 moles NaOH

That means after the reaction will remain in solution, 10-2 = 8 moles of HCl = 8 moles of H⁺ (In water, HCl dissociates as H⁺ and Cl⁻ ions).

A solution with pH = 1 contains:

pH = -log [H⁺]

1 = -log [H⁺]

0.1M = [H⁺]

As molarity, M is the ratio between moles and liters and you want a solution 0.1M having 8 moles of H⁺ you require:

0.1M = 8 moles H⁺ / 80L

As the student combines the solution with 5L of water, you require

<h3>75L of additional water to have a pH 1 solution</h3>

Slope is rise/run. Into this graph (mass vs volume), what does the slope represent?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

mass/volume

Explanation:

The slope is rise over run, or y over x.  The mass is y on this graph, and the volume is x on this graph.  The slope represents mass over volume.

The attraction between molecules of methane in the liquid state is primarily due to
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Attraction between molecules of methane in liquid state is primarily due to "London dispersion force".

Explanation:

Methane is a non-polar and aprotic molecule. Hence there is no dipole moment in methane as well as no chance of hydrogen bonding formation by methane.

We know that all molecules contain electrons. Therefore transient dipole arises in every molecule due to revolution of electrons around nucleus in a non-circular orbit. Hence an weak intermolecular attraction force is always present in every molecule as a result of this which is termed as "London dispersion force".

So, attraction between molecules of methane in liquid state is primarily due to "London dispersion force".
