How is energy transferred through the water cycle? Please help

Chemistry

S_A_V [24]3 years ago

Answer:In water cycle, water from clouds fall in the form of rain, snow etc. This water travels through the surface of mountains and passes through rivers, oceans etc and gets evaporated due to heat from Sun.

When water evaporates then it absorbs energy in the form of heat from Sun and when water condenses then heat is released.

Therefore, water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

the ratio of the energy the body gets metabolizing each gram of alanine to the energy the body gets metabolizing each gram of glucose is 1.0111

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

To determine the ratio of the energy the body gets metabolizing each gram of alanine to the energy the body gets metabolizing each gram of glucose, first we get the molar masses of both alanine and glucose

we know that;

Molar mass of alanine ( C₃H₇NO₂ ) = 89.09 g/mol

Molar mass of glucose ( C₆H₁₂O₆ ) = 180.16 g/mol

now, { metabolizing each gram }

moles of alanine = mass taken / molar mass

= 1g / 89.09 g/mol = 1/89.09 moles

moles of glucose = mass taken / molar mass

= 1g / 180.16 g/mol = 1/180.16 moles

In each molecule of alanine, we have 3 atoms  of carbon.

Also, in each molecules of glucose, we have 6 atoms of carbon

so,

number of moles of Carbons in alanine = 3 × 1/89.09 moles = 0.03367

number of moles of Carbons in glucose = 6 × 1/180.16 moles = 0.0333

so ratio of energy will be the ratio of carbon atoms, which is;

⇒ 0.03367 / 0.0333 = 1.0111

Therefore, the ratio of the energy the body gets metabolizing each gram of alanine to the energy the body gets metabolizing each gram of glucose is 1.0111

What is one chemical reaction that begins with petroleum as a starting material
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Thermal decomposition or cracking

Explanation:

Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons which are usually formed naturally. Petroleum undergo a host of chemical reactions. One of such is thermal decomposition or cracking.

Cracking is used in the petroleum industry to covert heavy fractions to more useful lighter ones.

When petroleum is subjected to high temperature and pressure, and in the presence of catalyst, the long chain type of petroleum will decompose into more useful smaller and lighter molecules.

Example is given below:

                  C₁₅H₃₂ → C₈H₁₈ + C₃H₆ + 2C₂H₄

The mole fraction of a non-electrolyte (MM 40.0 g/mol) in a saturated aqueous solution is 0.310. What is the molality of the sol
jeka57 [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The molality of non-electrolyte is 24.69 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mole fraction of saturated aqueous solution = 0.310

This means that 0.310 moles of non-electrolyte is present.

Moles of water (solvent) = 1 - 0.310 = 0.690 moles

To calculate the mass from given number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Moles of water = 0.690 moles

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.690mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(0.690mol\times 18g/mol)=12.42g

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molality}=\frac{n_{solute}\times 1000}{W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}

Where,

n_{solute} = Moles of solute (non-electrolyte) = 0.310 moles

W_{solvent} = Mass of solvent (water) = 12.42 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molality of non-electrolyte}=\frac{0.310\times 1000}{12.42}\\\\\text{Molality of non-electrolyte}=24.96m

Hence, the molality of non-electrolyte is 24.69 m

Gaseous methanol (CH4O) reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and liquid water. Balanced the equation using the l
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The sum of the coefficients in the balanced equation is 11

Explanation:

A reaction where an organic compound reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water is called combustion.

The balance reaction of combustion for methanol is:

2CH₃OH (l) + 3O₂(g) →  2CO₂(g)  +  4H₂O (g)

Coefficients from stoichiometry are 2, 3, 2 and 4

Sum =  2 + 3 + 2 + 4 = 11
