What compound was formed by the reaction of the first oxygen released by cyanobacteria and iron?

1 answer:

7 0

The compound that was formed by the reaction of the first oxygen released by Cyanobacteria and iron are the metals of the earths crust. Cyanobacteria was the first organisms that used water instead of hydrogen sulfide or other compounds as a source of electrons and hydrogen for fixing carbon dioxide. Early Cyanobacteria inhabited marine sediments where Archean banded iron formations were deposited; consisting of reddish layers rich in iron oxide.

How many moles are in 1.5 x 10^20 molecules of NH3?

Keith_Richards [23]

Because the question is asking moles of NH3, the compound, any subscripts are irrelevant. It only wants to know how many moles of NH3 molecules, not individual atoms.

Therefore, we can simply convert to moles. 1.5x10^23/6.022x10^23 = .249 moles of NH3.

(If it were to ask moles of Hydrogen, for example, you would multiply the answer by 3, because there are 3 atoms of Hydrogen per one molecule of NH3. But this only asks for moles of the entire compound).

hope you have a great day! :)

The empirical formula of a compound is CH. At 200 degree C, 0.145 g of this compound occupies 97.2 mL at a pressure of 0.74 atm.

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The molecular formula = $C_{6}H_{6}$

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of compound, m = 0.145 g

Temperature = 200 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T = (200 + 273.15) K = 473.15 K

V = 97.2 mL = 0.0972 L

Pressure = 0.74 atm

Considering,

$n=\frac{m}{M}$

Using ideal gas equation as:

$PV=\frac{m}{M}RT$

where,

P is the pressure

V is the volume

m is the mass of the gas

M is the molar mass of the gas

T is the temperature

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the values in the above equation as:-

$0.74\times 0.0972=\frac{0.145}{M}\times 0.0821\times 473.15$

$M=78.31\ g/mol$

The empirical formula is = $CH$

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Mass from the Empirical formula = 12 + 1 = 13 g/mol

Molar mass = 78.31 g/mol

So,

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

78.31 = n × 13

⇒ n ≅ 6

The molecular formula = $C_{6}H_{6}$

PLEASE HELP!!!

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

$Cl_2+2NaI\rightarrow I_2+2NaCl$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the described chemical reaction, Cl2 replaces iodine in NaI in order to produce I2 and NaCl:

$Cl_2+NaI\rightarrow I_2+NaCl$

It is possible to realize how chlorine replaces iodine in agreement with the single displacement reaction. Moreover, since chlorine and iodine atoms are not correctly balanced, we add a 2 in front of both NaI and NaCl in order to do so:

$Cl_2+2NaI\rightarrow I_2+2NaCl$

Best regards!

Are protons and neutrons electrically charged

blondinia [14]

Protons are positively charged neutrons are neutrally charged amd electrons are negatively charged. Therefore only the protons in this instance are charged

How do water molecules move away from their H-O-H configuration to become new molecules?

maksim [4K]

Answer:

A water molecule is consists of two hydrogen atom, each bound to the central oxygen atom through a covalent chemical bond.

Water molecules can form new molecules by moving away from their H-O-H configuration due to thermal motions and rotations. Thermal motions and rotations break the individual hydrogen bonds and change the H-O-H configuration influenced by the temperature and pressure.
