Americans eat too much salt (NaCl). A healthy adult should eat no more than 6 g of salt in one day. Use this information to answ

er the following questions. (Round atomic masses to the nearest tenth unit.)
a. What is the molar mass of NaCl?
b. What is the maximum number of moles of NaCl an adult should consume in one day?

Answer:

a. 58.5 g/mol

b. 0.1 mol

Explanation:

a.

The molar mass of Na is 23.0 g/mol. The molar mass of Cl is 35.5 g/mol. The molar mass of NaCl is:

M(Na) + M(Cl) = 23.0 g/mol + 35.5 g/mol = 58.5 g/mol

b. A healthy adult should eat no more than 6 g of salt in one day. The moles corresponding to 6 g of NaCl are:

6 g × (1 mol/58.5 g) = 0.1 mol

Argon, which comprises almost 1% of the atmosphere, is approximately 27 times more abundant than CO 2, but does not contribute t
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The gas argon does not reach a state of vibrational excitation when infrared radiation strikes this gas.

Explanation:

The dry atmosphere is composed almost entirely of nitrogen (in a volumetric mixing ratio of 78.1%) and oxygen (20.9%), plus a series of oligogases such as argon (0.93%), helium and gases of greenhouse effect such as carbon dioxide (0.035%) and ozone. In addition, the atmosphere contains water vapor in very variable amounts (about 1%) and aerosols.

Greenhouse gases or greenhouse gases are the gaseous components of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and emit radiation at certain wavelengths of the infrared radiation spectrum emitted by the Earth's surface, the atmosphere and clouds . In the Earth's atmosphere, the main greenhouse gases (GHG) are water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4) and ozone (O3 ). There is also in the atmosphere a series of greenhouse gases (GHG) created entirely by humans, such as halocarbons (compounds containing chlorine, bromine or fluorine and carbon, these compounds can act as potent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and they are also one of the causes of the depletion of the ozone layer in the atmosphere) regulated by the Montreal Protocol. In addition to CO2, N2O and CH4, the Kyoto Protocol sets standards regarding sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and perfluorocarbons (PFCs).

The difference between argon and greenhouse gases such as CO2 is that the individual atoms in the argon do not have free bonds and therefore do not vibrate. As a consequence, it does not reach a state of vibrational excitation when infrared radiation strikes this gas.

State whether the error introduced by each of the following problems would result in a high or a low value for the Cu recovery o
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Low value for copper recovery

Explanation:

The percentage recovery is obtained from;

Percent recovery = amount of substance you actually collected / amount of substance you were supposed to collect × 100

Note that the fact that some of the copper nitrate solution splashed out of the beaker means that some amount copper has been lost from the system. This loss of copper leads to a lower value of copper recovered from solution.

A form of electricity which can attract things
qwelly [4]

 

A form of electricity which can attract things is static electricity. Static electricity is the result of an imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object. These charges built up o the surface of an object until they find a way to e released or discharged causing the attraction of things.

According to the website of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the average temperature of the universe is
charle [14.2K]

Answer : The temperature in degree Celsius is, -270.45^oC

Explanation :

The conversion used for the temperature from Kelvin to degree Celsius is:

^oC=K-273.15

where,

K = temperature in Kelvin

^oC = temperature in centigrade

As we are given the temperature in Kelvin is, 2.7

Now we have to determine the temperature in Kelvin.

^oC=K-273.15

^oC=2.7-273.15

^oC=-270.45

Therefore, the temperature in degree Celsius is, -270.45^oC
