Answer:

Carbon dioxide levels in the Earth's atmosphere have been steadily increasing.

Carbon has a longer average lifetime in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Today the level of carbon dioxide is higher than at any time in human history. Scientists widely agree that Earth’s average surface temperature has already increased by about 2 F (1 C) since the 1880s, and that human-caused increases in carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases are extremely likely to be responsible.

The lifetime in the air of CO2, the most significant man-made greenhouse gas, is probably the most difficult to determine, because there are several processes that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Between 65% and 80% of CO2 released into the air dissolves into the ocean over a period of 20–200 years.

A certain drug has a half-life in the body of 3.5h. Suppose a patient takes one 200.Mg pill at :500PM and another identical pill

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The amount of drug left in his body at 7:00 pm is 315.7 mg.

Explanation:

First, we need to find the amount of drug in the body at 90 min by using the exponential decay equation:

$N_{t} = N_{0}e^{-\lambda t}$

Where:

λ: is the decay constant = $ln(2)/t_{1/2}$

$t_{1/2}$ : is the half-life of the drug = 3.5 h

N(t): is the quantity of the drug at time t

N₀: is the initial quantity

After 90 min and before he takes the other 200 mg pill, we have:

$N_{t} = 200e^{-\frac{ln(2)}{3.5 h}*90 min*\frac{1 h}{60 min}} = 148.6 mg$

Now, at 7:00 pm we have:

$t = 7:00 pm - (5:00 pm + 90 min) = 30 min$

$N_{t} = (200 + 148.6)e^{-\frac{ln(2)}{3.5 h}*30 min*\frac{1 h}{60 min}} = 315.7 mg$

Therefore, the amount of drug left in his body at 7:00 pm is 315.7 mg (from an initial amount of 400 mg).

I hope it helps you!

Which of the following occurs when a covalent bond forms? Which of the following occurs when a covalent bond forms? Partial char

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is defined as the bond which occurs due to sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

Generally, a covalent bond is formed between non-metals.

For example, both nitrogen and oxygen atoms are non-metals and they combine covalently to form $NO_{2}$ compound.

As nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and an oxygen atom has 6 valence electrons. So, there occurs unequal sharing of electrons between the two.

Thus, we can conclude that when a covalent bond forms then electrons in valence shells are shared between atoms.

Answer: 1. $2Al+3CuCl_2\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+3Cu$

2. 3 moles of $CuCl_2$ : 2 moles of $Al$

3. 0.33 moles of $CuCl_2$ : 0.92 moles of $Al$

4. $CuCl_2$ is the limiting reagent and $Al$ is the excess reagent.

5. Theoretical yield of $AlCl_3$ is 29.3 g

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

$\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$

$\text{Moles of} Al=\frac{25.0g}{27g/mol}=0.92moles$

$\text{Moles of} CuCl_2=\frac{45.0g}{134g/mol}=0.33moles$

The balanced chemical equation is:

$2Al+3CuCl_2\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+3Cu$

According to stoichiometry :

3 moles of $CuCl_2$ require = 2 moles of $Al$

Thus 0.33 moles of $CuCl_2$ will require= $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.33=0.22moles$ of $Al$

Thus $CuCl_2$ is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and $Al$ is the excess reagent.

As 3 moles of $CuCl_2$ give = 2 moles of $AlCl_3$

Thus 0.33 moles of $CuCl_2$ give = $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.33=0.22moles$ of $AlCl_3$

Theoretical yield of $AlCl_3=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.22moles\times 133.34g/mol=29.3$

Thus 29.3 g of aluminium chloride is formed.

20 mL of an approximately 10% aqueous solution of ethylamine, CH3CH2NH2, is titrated with 0.3000 M aqueous HCl. Which indicator

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Therefore, The indicator that is best fit for the given titration is Bromocresol Green Color change from pH between 4.0 to 5.6

Bromocresol green, color change from pH = 4.0 to 5.6

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is :

$C_2H_5NH_2_(_a_q_) + H^+_(_a_q_) --- C_2H_5NH_{3(aq)}^+$

concentration of $C_2H_5NH_{2(aq)$ = 10%

10 g of $C_2H_5NH_{2(aq)$ in 100 ml solution

molar mass = 45.08 g/mol

number of moles = 10 / 45.08

= 0.222 mol

Molarity of $C_2H_5NH_2(aq) = 0.222 \times \frac{1000}{100}mL$

= 2.22 M

number of moles of $C_2H_5NH_{2(aq)$ in 20 mL can be determined as:

$= 20 mL \times 2.22 M= 44*10^{-3} mole$

Concentration of $C_2H_5NH_2(aq) = \frac{44*10^{-3}*1000}{20}$

= 2.22 M

Similarly, The pKa Value of $C_2H_5NH_{2(aq)$ is given as 10.75

pKb value will be: 14 - pKa

= 14 - 10.75

= 3.25

the pH value at equivalence point is,

$pH= \frac{1}{2}pKa - \frac{1}{2}pKb-\frac{1}{2}log[C]$

$pH = \frac{14}{2}-\frac{3.25}{2}-\frac{1}{2}log [2.22]$

$pH = 5.21$

Therefore, The indicator that is best fit for the given titration is Bromocresol Green Color change from pH between 4.0 to 5.6
