Answer: HOPE THIS HELPED! :D

Water vapor is the most abundant and dominant GHG in the atmosphere. Its concentration depends on temperature and other meteorological conditions, and not directly upon human activities.

The ratio of carbon atoms to hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms in a molecule of dicyclohexyl maleate is 4 to 6 to 1. what is its mo

Semenov [28]

Knowing the ratio between atoms we can write an empirical formula:

C4H6O 

we compute the molar mass of this single formula: 
4x12 + 6 x 1 + 16 x1 = 70 g / mol 

Now, as we know the actual molar mas being 280 g/mol, we divide this number by 70 and we get the ratio between empirical formula and molecular actual formula: 

280 / 70 = 4 

This means that actual molecular formula is: 

(C4H6O)4 or 

C16H24O4

How do chemists solve problems?

Westkost [7]

Answer:Chemistry problems can be solved using a variety of techniques.

Explanation: Many chemistry teachers and most introductory chemistry texts illustrate problem solutions using the factor-label method. ... The use of analogies and schematic diagrams results in higher achievement on problems involving moles, stoichiometry, and molarity. Hope this helped!

A standard solution of FeSCN2+ is prepared by combining 9.0 mL of 0.20 M Fe(NO3)3 with 1.0 mL of 0.0020 M KSCN . The standard so

Xelga [282]

Answer : The equilibrium concentration of $SCN^-$ in the trial solution is $4.58\times 10^{-8}M$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the initial moles of $Fe^{3+}$ and $SCN^-$ .

$\text{Moles of }Fe^{3+}=\text{Concentration of }Fe^{3+}\times \text{Volume of solution}$

$\text{Moles of }Fe^{3+}=0.20M\times 9.0mL=1.8mmol$

and,

$\text{Moles of }SCN^-=\text{Concentration of }SCN^-\times \text{Volume of solution}$

$\text{Moles of }SCN^-=0.0020M\times 1.0mL=0.0020mmol$

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$Fe^{3+}(aq)+SCN^-(aq)\rightleftharpoons FeSCN^{2+}(aq)$

Since 1 mole of $Fe^{3+}$ reacts with 1 mole of $SCN^-$ to give 1 mole of $FeSCN^{2+}$

The limiting reagent is, $SCN^-$

So, the number of moles of $FeSCN^{2+}$ = 0.0020 mmole

Now we have to calculate the concentration of $FeSCN^{2+}$ .

$\text{Concentration of }FeSCN^{2+}=\frac{0.0020mmol}{9.0mL+1.0mL}=0.00020M$

Using Beer-Lambert's law :

$A=\epsilon \times C\times l$

where,

A = absorbance of solution

C = concentration of solution

l = path length

$\epsilon$ = molar absorptivity coefficient

$\epsilon$ and l are same for stock solution and dilute solution. So,

$\epsilon l=\frac{A}{C}=\frac{0.480}{0.00020M}=2400M^{-1}$

For trial solution:

The equilibrium concentration of $SCN^-$ is,

$[SCN^-]_{eqm}=[SCN^-]_{initial}-[FeSCN^{2+}]$

$[SCN^-]_{initial}$ = 0.00050 M

Now calculate the $[FeSCN^{2+}]$ .

$C=\frac{A}{\epsilon l}=\frac{0.220}{2400M^{-1}}=9.17\times 10^{-5}M$

Now calculate the concentration of $SCN^-$ .

$[SCN^-]_{eqm}=[SCN^-]_{initial}-[FeSCN^{2+}]$

$[SCN^-]_{eqm}=(0.00050M)-(9.17\times 10^{-5}M)$

$[SCN^-]_{eqm}=4.58\times 10^{-8}M$

Therefore, the equilibrium concentration of $SCN^-$ in the trial solution is $4.58\times 10^{-8}M$

2. What evidence is there that mass extinction events occurred?

Natalija [7]

Answer: Although the best-known cause of a mass extinction is the asteroid impact that killed off the non-avian dinosaurs, in fact, volcanic activity seems to have wreaked much more havoc on Earth's biota. Volcanic activity is implicated in at least four mass extinctions, while an asteroid is a suspect in just one. Examples, of mass extinctions are Permian extinction of marine species, and Cretaceous extinction of various species, including dinosaurs.
