Earth's original atmosphere probably consisted mostly of which gas?

Antarctica, almost completely covered in ice, has an area

Marysya12 [62]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of ice is $2.39\times 10^{22}g$

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Area of Antarctica = $5,500,000mi^2=5,500,000\times 2.59\times 10^{10}=142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2$ (Conversion factor: $1mi^2=2.59\times 10^{10}cm^2$ )

Height of Antarctica with ice = 7500 ft.

Height of Antarctica without ice = 1500 ft.

Height of ice = 7500 - 1500 = 6000 ft = $182.88\times 10^3cm$ (Conversion factor: 1 ft = 30.48 cm)

To calculate mass of ice, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}$

We are given:

Density of ice = $0.917g/cm^3$

Volume of ice = Area × Height of ice = $142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2\times 182.88\times 10^3cm=26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.917g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of ice}}{26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of ice}=(0.917g/cm^3\times 26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3=2.39\times 10^{22}g$

Hence, the mass of ice is $2.39\times 10^{22}g$

Calculate how many grams of the first reactant are necessary to completely react with 17.3 g of the second reactant. the reactio

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 16.611 grams of Na₂CO₃ are necessary to completely react with 17.3 g of CuCl₂.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

Na₂CO₃ + CuCl₂ → CuCO₃ + 2 NaCl

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

Na₂CO₃: 1 mole
CuCl₂: 1 mole
CuCO₃: 1 mole
NaCl: 2 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

Na₂CO₃: 129 g/mole
CuCl₂: 134.45 g/mole
CuCO₃: 123.55 g/mole
NaCl: 58.45 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

Na₂CO₃: 1 mole ×129 g/mole= 129 grams
CuCl₂: 1 mole ×134.45 g/mole= 134.45 grams
CuCO₃: 1 mole ×123.55 g/mole= 123.55 grams
NaCl: 2 mole ×58.45 g/mole=116.9 grams

<h3>Mass of CuCl₂ required</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: If by reaction stoichiometry 134.35 grams of CuCl₂ react with 129 grams of Na₂CO₃, 17.3 grams of CuCl₂ react with how much mass of Na₂CO₃?

mass of Na₂CO₃= (17.3 grams of CuCl₂× 129 grams of Na₂CO₃)÷ 134.35 grams of CuCl₂

<u><em>mass of Na₂CO₃= 16.611 grams</em></u>

Finally, 16.611 grams of Na₂CO₃ is required.

What does the nucleus of an atom do to its own electrons? To the electrons of a nearby atom?

Margaret [11]

An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.

An atom is made up of energy levels that contain electrons which are negatively charged and the nucleus which contains neutrons and protons that are negatively charge .

Due the positive charge of the nucleus of an atom, an atom always want to attract its electrons and keep them near it however it weakly attracts the other electrons of a nearby atom.
