Answer:

Carbon Dioxide is an Infrared Radiation Absorber. The (CO2) molecules also emits the absorbed infrared (IR) radiation energy. The photon energy from the infrared radiation causes the CO2 molecule to vibrate. Only some of its vibrational modes absorb infrared radiation

Explanation:

Its linear structure is considered when working with the formula to calculate the number of molecular vibrational modes. It has 3n - 4 vibrational modes, where n is the number of atoms in a compound of CO2

With 3 atoms, CO2 has

3n−5=4 types or patterns of vibration

1. The symmetric stretch

2. The asymmetric stretch

3. The bend

The symmetric stretch vibrational mode is ir-inactive.

The asymmetric stretch is ir-active as it results in changes in dipole moment

The bend is ir-active as well as it results in a change in dipole moment too.

A diver exhales a bubble with a volume of 250 mL at a pressure of 2.4 atm and a temperature of 15 °C. What is the volume of the
alexdok [17]

Answer : The volume of the bubble is, 625 mL

Explanation :

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 2.4 atm

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 1.0 atm

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 250 mL

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 15^oC=273+15=288K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 27^oC=273+27=300K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{2.4atm\times 250mL}{288K}=\frac{1.0atm\times V_2}{300K}

V_2=625mL

Therefore, the volume of the bubble is, 625 mL

Calculate the number of O atoms in 0.150 g of CaSO4 · 2H2O.
natulia [17]

Answer:

There are 0.00523 moles of oxygen in 0.150 grams of calcium sulfate crystal.

Explanation:

Mass of calcium sulfate crystal = m = 0.150 g

Molar mass of calcium sulfate crystal = M = 172 g/mol

Moles of magnesium nitrate = n

n=\frac{m}{M}

n=\frac{0.150 g}{172 g/mol}=0.0008721 mol

1 mole of calcium sulfate crystal has 6 moles of oxygen atoms. Then 0.004446 moles calcium sulfate crystal will have :

6\times 0.0008721 mol=0.0052326mol\approx 0.00523 mol

There are 0.00523 moles of oxygen in 0.150 grams of calcium sulfate crystal.
