If it is just a comparison, then it is nice to state that an Adult African Elephant can usually weigh up to 6.6 tons. Just regular 6.6 tons. No millions, no billions, no hundreds. So the weight of that elephant is 0.00000012% of the total amount of carbon released through burning fossil fuels. 

In all fairness to the elephant, the atmosphere is really heavy and is much more bigger than an elephant, so this isn't really a surprising answer

Has anyone ever done this atom escape room thing
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

1.  negative

2.  positive

3.  neutral

Explanation:

Ok so it looks like they are asking for the charge (positive, negative, or neutral) of each thing

So for 1, it would be negative, because it's pointing to an electron.  Electrons always have a negative charge.

So for 2, it would be positive, because it's pointing to a proton.  Protons always have a positive charge

So for 3, it would be neutral, because it's pointing to a neutron.  Neutrons always have a neutral charge.

Which isotope in each pair is more stable? Why?(d) ¹⁴₇N or ¹⁸₇N
quester [9]

<u>¹⁴₇N</u><u> </u>is the more stable isotope

<h3>Briefly explained</h3>

We have ¹⁴₇N which has a neutron to proton ratio of one, and we look at ¹⁸₇N which has a neutron to proton ratio of 1.57 Again, you look at table 24 to and you see the atomic number of seven and there is really no stable isotope. It has any more than 10 neutrons.

When we have eight, protons will go down seven protons. There's really nothing stable that has more than maybe eight neutrons. So the fact that we have 11 neutrons with ¹⁸₇N suggests that this is very unstable and

¹⁴₇N is the stable isotope of the pair.

<h3>Stable and Unstable Nuclei</h3>

An atom is electrically neutral. It contains an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons and their charges balance. The nucleus however contains only positively charged protons which are closely packed together in a very small volume (remember neutrons have no charge).

From the laws of physics (Coulomb’s Law) one would expect that the protons being of the same charge and so close together would exert strong repulsive forces on each other. The combined gravitational force from the protons and neutrons in a nucleus is insignificant as an attractive force because their masses are so tiny.

This implies there must be an additional attractive force similar in size to the electrostatic repulsion which holds the nucleus together.

Design a synthesis of acetophenone from benzene or toluene. 1275q Part 1 out of 5 Choose the best option for the nucleophile pre
Trava [24]

Answer:

A Fridiel craft catalyst will convert benzene to acetophenone.

Permanganate catalyst can be used to convert toluene to acetophenone.

Explanation:

Benzene can be reduced to acetophenone by the addition of anhydrous aluminium chloride, AlCl₃

The mechanism is as follows:

Benzene + Acetyl choloride → acetophenone

To convert toluene to acetophenone, the following steps are necessary:

  • Oxidation of Toluene to Benzoic acid.

     This is done by refluxing toluene with alkaline potassium permanganate         (KMnO₄+ Na₂CO₃).

  • Benzoic acid is converted to Benzoyl chloride by treating with thioyl chloride and heating at about 80 ⁰C.
  • Benzoyl chloride is treated with methyl lithium to form Acetophenone.
