Explanation:

Large hydrocarbon molecules can be cracked in an oil refinery through the process of cracking. Cracking of hydrocarbons involves the use of heat, pressure and catalyst to resolve heavy hydrocarbons into simpler and more useful products.

Cracking of hydrocarbons is very essential in the oil refinery.
Cracking helps to break giant hydrocarbon molecules into simple and more useful ones.
Fractional distillation separates oil molecules into its different components based on their different boiling points.
The fractions produced a times are usually long chained and are not in high demand.

Catalytic cracking and thermal cracking helps to break the long chains of the heavy hydrocarbons fractions into simpler ones.

What does a switch bring together?

Lilit [14]

A switch connects with multiple devices, such as, computers, wireless access points, printers, and servers.

For example, this quote states that "Switches are key building blocks for any network. They connect multiple devices, such as computers, wireless access points, printers, and servers; on the same network within a building or campus. A switch enables connected devices to share information and talk to each other."

VladimirAG [237]

This should not matter because the pipet has gradations and usually more of the sample is taken up in the pipette than what is delivered into the flask the student should always rinse the container being used because they are contaminating the sample if they do not clean it out

I need this answer quick please show work

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 25.2 g of acetic acid.

Explanation:

Data

[Acetic acid] = 0.839 M

Volume = 0.5 L

Molecular weight = 60.05 g/mol

Process

1.- Calculate the number of moles of acetic acid

Molarity = moles / volume

-Solve for moles

moles = Molarity x volume

-Substitution

moles = (0.839)(0.5)

-Result

moles = 0.4195

2.- Calculate the mass of acetic acid using proportions and cross multiplications

60.05 g ----------------------- 1 mol

x ----------------------- 0.4195 moles

x = (0.4195 x 60.05) / 1

x = 25.19 g

3.- Conclusion

25.2 g are needed to prepare 0.500 L of Acetic acid 0.839M

Match each statement with a layer of the atmosphere. There will be two statements for each layer.

LuckyWell [14K]

The troposphere:

H. This layer can have thunderstorms or clear, sunny skies.

A. The biosphere interacts most with this layer.

The stratosphere:

B. It is the second layer from Earth's surface.

G. Winds are strong and steady in this layer.

The mesosphere:

E. It is heated by the ozone layer beneath it.

D. This layer is where most meteor showers occur.

The thermosphere :

F. It contains the ionosphere and exosphere.

C. It contains layers of single, unmixed gas.

Explanation:

Depending on the Earth's temperature the atmosphere can be separated into layers. The troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere and the thermosphere are those layers. The lowest layer is named as Troposphere (0-10 km from the Earth outer surface), it comprises about 75% of the atmosphere's total air and nearly most the water vapor.

Stratosphere (10-30) includes much of the surface ozone. The change in height temperature arises as this ozone absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. The temperature in Mesosphere (30-50 Km) declines again with height, hitting a minimum of about -90 ° C at the "mesopause." Above this thermosphere (50-400 Km) is settled which is a area where temperatures rise with height once again. The penetration of intense UV and X-ray radiation from the sun induces this temperature rise.
