Answer:

Paris climate agreement of 2015

Explanation:

In the year 2015, global leaders seeking to join forces to combat the ever increasing emissions of green house gases which is having a bad influence on our prevailing world climate met in Paris in 2015, although the treaty became effective in the year 2016.

There are 195 signatories to the treaty. The Paris Agreement's long-term temperature goal is to keep the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels; and to pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 °C, recognizing that this would substantially reduce the risks and impacts of climate change.

When a magnesium wire is dipped into a solution of lead (II) nitrate, a black deposit forms on the wire. Which of the following

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:The standard reduction potential, Eo , for Pb2+(aq) is greater than that for Mg2+(aq).

Explanation:

Metals are usually arranged in an order of reactivity called activity series. Metals that are high up in the series are good reducing agents with very low (very negative) reduction potentials. Metals with greater (less negative) reduction potentials are found lower in the series. In the image attached, elements were arranged according to their reducing ability. Magnesium is very electro positive hence it is a better reducing agent with a lesser standard reduction potential than lead(refer to the image for numerical values of standard reduction potentials). Hence it displaces lead from solution and the elemental lead deposits on the wire.

Each astronaut produces 8.8 × 102 g CO2 per day that must be removed from the air on the shuttle. If a typical shuttle mission i

suter [353]

The reaction of removing CO2 using LiOH is the following:

2 LiOH + CO2 -----> Li2CO3 + H2O

By solving the amount of CO2 the LiOH can scrub:

(3.50 × 10^4 g LiOH) (1 mol LiOH/ 24 g LiOH) ( 1 mol CO2 / 2 mol LiOH) ( 44 g CO2 /1 mol CO2) = 32, 083.33 g CO2 it can scrub

<span>Since number of astronaut = 32, 083.33 g / 9 (8.8 × 10^2) = 4 astronaut</span>

The amount ofcalcium present in milk can be determined by adding oxalate to asample and measuring the massof calcium oxalate pre

Sauron [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of calcium in milk is 0.107 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of calcium oxalate = 0.429 g

Molar mass of calcium oxalate = 128.1 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of calcium oxalate}=\frac{0.429g}{128.1g/mol}=0.0033mol$

The given chemical equation follows:

$Na_2C_2O_4(aq.)+Ca^{2+}(aq.)\rightarrow CaC_2O_4(s)+2Na^+(aq.)$

Sodium oxalate is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent. And, calcium ion is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of calcium oxalate is produced from 1 mole of calcium ion

So, 0.0033 moles of calcium oxalate is produced from = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0033=0.0033mol$ of calcium ions
