Answer:

10^{-3.4

Explanation:

Let us first take a look at the image below;

In the acid - base  reaction; we can see the transfer of electrons that takes place;

We can also see that the reaction goes in the direction which converts the stronger acid and the stronger base to the weaker acid and the weaker base.

The stronger acid is shown with the one with more negative P_{Ka} Value.

∴ The equilibrium constant for the acid-base reaction is expressed as:

K_{eq}= \frac{K_a of reactant acid}{K_a of product acid}

      = \frac{10^{-pK} of reactant acid}{10^{-pk} of product acid}

From  P_{Ka} Value (shown in the image below), it is clear and vivid that hydrobromic acid is a stronger acid than the ethyloxonium ion, therefore the equilibrium lies to the right.

From the chemical equation (shown in the attached image); the equilibrium constant for the acid-base reaction can be expressed as:

K_{eq}=\frac{10^{-pK} of hydrobromic acid}{10^{-pk} of Ethyloxonium acid}

K_{eq}=\frac{10^{-5.8} of hydrobromic acid}{10^{-2.4} of Ethyloxonium acid}

       = 10^{-3.4}

According to scientific evidence, earth’s earliest atmosphere lacked oxygen. Over time, oxygen was added to the atmosphere.
Marianna [84]
B.
The cynobacteria were already there without the oxygen, so that rules out A, and a lot of prokaryotes were anaerobic, so that rules out C. Finally, Photosynthesis does not require oxygen. Instead, Oxygen is a waste product of it. Therefore, it cannot be D. So, we are only left with B

Explain the relationship between the following terms: eutrophication, nutrients, dissolved oxygen leads, and algae.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Eutrophication is the enrichment of a body of water with excessive nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), which causes algal growth and subsequent decline of dissolved oxygen after decomposition.

Carbon disulfide burns with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide in the following manner: CS2 + 3O2 → CO2 + 2SO2 If
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
Given:
<span>CS2 + 3O2 → CO2 + 2SO2
</span><span>114 grams of CS2 are burned in an excess of O2
</span>
moles CS2 = 114 g/76.143 g/mol → 114g * mol/76.143 g =  1.497 mol

<span>the ratio between CS2 and SO2 is 1 : 2 </span>

moles SO2 formed = 1.497 x 2 = 2.994 moles   → 2nd option
