Earth contains huge quantities of water in its oceans, lakes, rivers, the atmosphere, and believe it or not, in the rocks of the inner Earth. Over millions of years, much of this water is recycled between the inner Earth, the oceans and rivers, and the atmosphere. This cycling process means that freshwater is constantly made available to Earth's surface where we all live. Our planet is also very efficient at keeping this water. Water, as a vapor in our atmosphere, could potentially escape into space from Earth. But the water doesn't escape because certain regions of the atmosphere are extremely cold. (At an altitude of 15 kilometers, for example, the temperature of the atmosphere is as low as -60° Celsius!) At this frigid temperature, water forms solid crystals that fall back to Earth's surface.
Many people live faraway from freshwater sources. They need to carry their water home.
While our planet as a whole may never run out of water, it's important to remember that clean freshwater is not always available where and when humans need it. In fact, half of the world's freshwater can be found in only six countries. More than a billion people live without enough safe, clean water.
Also, every drop of water that we use continues through the water cycle. Stuff we put down the drain ends up in someone or something else's water. We can help protect the quality of our planet's freshwater by using it more wisely.

Why does perchloric acid cause macromolecules to precipitate?
asambeis [7]
Perchloric acid (HCO₄) is one of strongest inorganic acids. Perchloric acid  precipitation is used to removes most of the protein present in the sample and stabilize many of the small molecule analytes. It can use also to precipitation glycogen, ATP, glutathione, antioxidants.
Perchloric acid donates protons to macromolecules and lower their solubility in water. Also perchloric acid is strong oxidizing agent and change oxidation number of elements.

The product of the nuclear reaction in which 31p is subjected to neutron capture followed by alpha emission is ________.
faltersainse [42]
The product of the nuclear reaction in which 31p is subjected to neutron capture followed by alpha emission is ²⁸Al.
Nuclear reaction: ³¹P + n° → ²⁸Al + α (alpha particle).<span>
Alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four.</span>

The equilibrium constant Kp for the reaction (CH3),CCI (g) = (CH3),C=CH, (g) + HCl (g) is 3.45 at 500. K. (5.00 x 10K) Calculate
Karolina [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of K_p for the reaction is 6.32 and concentrations of (CH_3)_2C=CH,HCl\text{ and }(CH_3)_3CCl is 0.094 M, 0.094 M and 0.106 M respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Relation of K_p with K_c is given by the formula:

K_p=K_c(RT)^{\Delta ng}

where,

K_p = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = 3.45

K_c = equilibrium constant in terms of concentration = ?

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = temperature = 500 K

\Delta n_g = change in number of moles of gas particles = n_{products}-n_{reactants}=2-1=1

Putting values in above equation, we get:

3.45=K_c\times (0.0821\times 500)^{1}\\\\K_c=\frac{3.45}{0.0821\times 500}=0.084

The equation used to calculate concentration of a solution is:

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Moles}}{\text{Volume (in L)}}

Initial moles of (CH_3)_3CCl(g) = 1.00 mol

Volume of the flask = 5.00 L

So, \text{Concentration of }(CH_3)_3CCl=\frac{1.00mol}{5.00L}=0.2M

For the given chemical reaction:

                (CH_3)_3CCl(g)\rightarrow (CH_3)_2C=CH(g)+HCl(g)

Initial:               0.2                    -                        -

At Eqllm:          0.2 - x               x                       x

The expression of K_c for above reaction follows:

K_c=\frac{[(CH_3)_2C=CH]\times [HCl]}{[(CH_3)_3CCl]}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.084=\frac{x\times x}{0.2-x}\\\\x^2+0.084x-0.0168=0\\\\x=0.094,-0.178

Negative value of 'x' is neglected because initial concentration cannot be more than the given concentration

Calculating the concentration of reactants and products:

[(CH_3)_2C=CH]=x=0.094M

[HCl]=x=0.094M

[(CH_3)_3CCl]=(0.2-x)=(0.2-0.094)=0.106M

Hence, the value of K_p for the reaction is 6.32 and concentrations of (CH_3)_2C=CH,HCl\text{ and }(CH_3)_3CCl is 0.094 M, 0.094 M and 0.106 M respectively.

A star is estimated to have a mass of 2.0 x 10 ^36kg. Assuming it to be a sphere of average radius of 7.0 x 10 ^5 km. Calculate
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

<em>a)</em> <em>1.392 x 10^6 g/cm^3</em>

<em>b) 8.69 x 10^7 lb/ft^3</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

mass of the star m =  2.0 x 10^36 kg

radius of the star (assumed to be spherical) r = 7.0 x 10^5 km = 7.0 x 10^8 m

The density of substance ρ = mass/volume

The volume of the star = volume of a sphere = \frac{4}{3}\pi  r^{3}

==> V = \frac{4}{3}*3.142*(7.0*10^8)^{3} = 1.437 x 10^27 m^3

density of the star ρ = (2.0 x 10^36)/(1.437 x 10^27) = 1.392 x 10^9 kg/m^3

in g/cm^3 = (1.392 x 10^9)/1000 = <em>1.392 x 10^6 g/cm^3</em>

in lb/ft^3 =  (1.392 x 10^9)/16.018 = <em>8.69 x 10^7 lb/ft^3</em>
