Two samples of carbon tetrachloride were decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produced 38.9 g of carbon and 45

1 g of chlorine, and the other sample produced 14.8 g of carbon and 135 g of chlorine. Are these results consistent with the law of definite proportions? Show why or why not.

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

The results mentioned are <u>not consistent </u>with the law of definite proportions.

Law of definite proportions states that a chemical compound contains exactly the same elements in the same proportion by weight independent of its source and method of it's preparation.

In the given question, the first sample contains 38.9 g of carbon and 451 g of chlorine that means the sample has 8% of carbon and 92% of chlorine.

On the other hand, second sample contains 14.8 g of carbon and 135 g of chlorine which means that this sample has 10% of carbon and 90% of chlorine.

Since the constituent elements in both the samples are not in fixed and constant proportions (by mass), the law of definite proportions fails here.

Express as ordinary numbers. 6.02 x 109 =
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

  • 6,020,000,000

Explanation:

The given number is 6.02 × 10⁹. It is written is scientific notation.

As you see it has two parts:

  •   The first part are the digits with the decimal point after the first digit. This part is called mantissa. The mantissa can only have one digit, between 1 and 9, before the decimal point.

  • The second part is a power of 10. The exponent can be either positive or negative.

If the exponent is negative means that the decimal point must be moved to the left and if the exponent is positive means that the decimal point must be moved to the right.

In the number 6.02 × 10⁹ the exponent is 9, so you must move the decimal point 9 places to the right:

  • 6.02 × 10⁹ = 6.02 × 1,000,000,000 - 6,020,000,000,

Which of the following threats to biodiversity is a result of over-fishing?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Overfishing is an example of human impact on biodiversity.
In simple terms, overfishing means that the sea animals hunted for food ( fishes, crustaceans, mollusks etc.)  in a year are hunted in numbers greater than the number of newborn individuals of that species in that year. This means that the populations of these animals do not have the time to regrow their numbers.
This results in a dramatic decline of populations of many marine animals.
