Argon, which comprises almost 1% of the atmosphere, is approximately 27 times more abundant than CO 2, but does not contribute t

o global warming. Which explanation accounts for this fact?

Answer:

The gas argon does not reach a state of vibrational excitation when infrared radiation strikes this gas.

Explanation:

The dry atmosphere is composed almost entirely of nitrogen (in a volumetric mixing ratio of 78.1%) and oxygen (20.9%), plus a series of oligogases such as argon (0.93%), helium and gases of greenhouse effect such as carbon dioxide (0.035%) and ozone. In addition, the atmosphere contains water vapor in very variable amounts (about 1%) and aerosols.

Greenhouse gases or greenhouse gases are the gaseous components of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and emit radiation at certain wavelengths of the infrared radiation spectrum emitted by the Earth's surface, the atmosphere and clouds . In the Earth's atmosphere, the main greenhouse gases (GHG) are water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4) and ozone (O3 ). There is also in the atmosphere a series of greenhouse gases (GHG) created entirely by humans, such as halocarbons (compounds containing chlorine, bromine or fluorine and carbon, these compounds can act as potent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and they are also one of the causes of the depletion of the ozone layer in the atmosphere) regulated by the Montreal Protocol. In addition to CO2, N2O and CH4, the Kyoto Protocol sets standards regarding sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and perfluorocarbons (PFCs).

The difference between argon and greenhouse gases such as CO2 is that the individual atoms in the argon do not have free bonds and therefore do not vibrate. As a consequence, it does not reach a state of vibrational excitation when infrared radiation strikes this gas.

How many moles of iron in a sample that contains 7.91×10^23 atoms of iron?
vazorg [7]

Answer: 1.31

Explanation:  

No.of moles = given no.of atoms/Avagadro number

= 7.91×10^23 / 6.022 x 10^23

= 1.31

therefore, no.of moles = 1.31

There are 31.1 grams (g) in 1 troy ounce (ozt). How many ozt of gold are extracted from 1 short ton of average Nevada ore
devlian [24]

This problem is providing us with the mass equivalent to one troy ounce. Thus, the troy ounces of gold in one short ton of average Nevada ore is required and found to be the 0.103 otz according to the following dimensional analysis.

<h3>Dimensional analysis</h3>

In chemistry, a raft of problems do not always provide an equation in order to be solved yet dimensional analysis can be applied, so as to obtain the desired amount in the required units.

Thus, since this problem asks for try ounces in an average Nevada ore,  which has 3.2 grams of gold per short ton of ore, one can solve the following setup in order to obtain the required answer in otz:

\frac{3.2gAu}{1short-ton}*1short-ton*\frac{1otz}{31.1g} \\

Where the short tons are cancelled out as well as the grams, in order to obtain:

0.103 otz

The reaction is proceeding at a rate of 0.0080 Ms-1 in 50.0 mL of solution in a system with unknown concentrations of A and B. W
Leokris [45]

Answer:

0.0010 mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹  

Explanation:

Assume the rate law is  

rate = k[A][B]²

If you are comparing two rates,

\dfrac{\text{rate}_{2}}{\text{rate}_{1}} = \dfrac{k_{2}\text{[A]}_2[\text{B]}_{2}^{2}}{k_{1}\text{[A]}_1[\text{B]}_{1}^{2}}= \left (\dfrac{\text{[A]}_{2}}{\text{[A]}_{1}}\right ) \left (\dfrac{\text{[B]}_{2}}{\text{[B]}_{1}}\right )^{2}

You are cutting each concentration in half, so

\dfrac{\text{[A]}_{2}}{\text{[A]}_{1}} = \dfrac{1}{2}\text{ and }\dfrac{\text{[B]}_{2}}{\text{[B]}_{1}}= \dfrac{1}{2}

Then,

\dfrac{\text{rate}_{2}}{\text{rate}_{1}} = \left (\dfrac{1}{2}\right ) \left (\dfrac{1}{2}\right )^{2} = \dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\text{rate}_{2} = \dfrac{1}{8}\times \text{rate}_{1}= \dfrac{1}{8}\times \text{0.0080 mol$\cdot$L$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$} = \textbf{0.0010 mol$\cdot$L$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$}\\\\\text{The new rate is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.0010 mol$\cdot$L$^\mathbf{{-1}}$s$^{\mathbf{-1}}$}}$}

What is △n for the following equation in relating Kc to Kp?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

-1  

Explanation:

The relation between Kp and Kc is given below:

K_p= K_c\times (RT)^{\Delta n}

Where,  

Kp is the pressure equilibrium constant

Kc is the molar equilibrium constant

R is gas constant , 0.082057 L atm.mol⁻¹K⁻¹

T is the temperature in Kelvins

Δn = (No. of moles of gaseous products)-(No. of moles of gaseous reactants)

For the first equilibrium reaction:

2Na_{(s)}+2H_2O_{(l)}\rightleftharpoons 2NaOH_{(aq)}+2H_2_{(g)}

<u>Δn = (No. of moles of gaseous products)-(No. of moles of gaseous reactants)  = (2+1)-(2+2) = -1  </u>
