Answer:
Lichens can be used as air pollution indicators, especially of the concentration of sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere. Lichens are organisms that grow in exposed places such as rocks or tree bark. They need to be very efficient at absorbing water and nutrients to grow there.
5.451 X 10³ kg of sodium carbonate must be added to neutralize 5.04×103 kg of sulfuric acid solution.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- Sodium carbonate is used to neutralized sulfuric acid, H₂SO₄. Sodium carbonate is the salt of a strong base (NaOH) and weak acid (H₂CO₃). The balanced chemical reaction for neutralization is as follows:
Na₂CO₃ + H₂SO₄ ----> Na₂SO₄ + H₂CO₃
- From a balanced chemical equation, it is clear that one mole of Na₂CO₃ is required to neutralize one mole of H₂SO₄.
- Molar mass of Na₂CO₃= 106 g/mol = 0.106 kg/mol and Molar mass of H₂SO₄= 98 g/mol = 0.098 kg/mol.
- To neutralize 0.098 kg of H₂SO₄ amount of Na₂CO₃ required is 0.106 kg, so, To neutralize 5.04×10³ kg of H₂SO₄, Na₂CO₃ required is = 5.451 X 10³ kg.
Answer: 0.5 kg
Explanation:
Force of launched skyrocket = 10 N
Acceleration of skyrocket = 20 m/s squared (i.e 20m/s^2)
Mass of the skyrocket = ?
Recall that Force is the product of the mass of an object by the acceleration by which it moves.
i.e Force = Mass x Acceleration
10N = Mass x 20m/s^2
Mass = (10N/20m/s^2)
Mass = 0.5 kg
Thus, the mass of this skyrocket is 0.5 kilograms
Answer:
The sharing of electrons between a water molecule that forms four hydrogen bonds with the other four water molecules:
Explanation:
The hydrogen bond is a weak electrostatic force of attraction that exists between a covalently bonded H-atom and a highly electronegative atom like N,O or F.
In the case of the water molecule,
the highly electronegative atom is Oxygen and the intermolecular hydrogen bond in water is as shown below:
Thus H-bond is a weak electrostatic attraction formed between H-atom and O-atom in water.
