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.

Write the formal charge for C,H and O in CH3COOH

JulijaS [17]

<span>The formal charge of an atom is the assigned charge to the atom. Carbon 1 and carbon 2 both have +4 charge, H has a charge of +1, while O is calculated by the equation -1=4+3+4+2x where -1 is the charge of CH3COO and x is the charge of each O atom. Charge of O atom is -6.</span>

An equilibrium mixture of PCl5(g), PCl3(g), and Cl2(g) has partial pressures of 217.0 Torr, 13.2 Torr, and 13.2 Torr, respective

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The new partial pressures after equilibrium is reestablished for $PCl_3$ :

$P_1'=6.798 Torr$

The new partial pressures after equilibrium is reestablished $Cl_2$ :

$P_2'=26.398 Torr$

The new partial pressures after equilibrium is reestablished for $PCl_5$ :

$P_3'=223.402 Torr$

Explanation:

$PCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)$

At equilibrium before adding chlorine gas:

Partial pressure of the $PCl_3=P_1=13.2 Torr$

Partial pressure of the $Cl_2=P_2=13.2 Torr$

Partial pressure of the $PCl_5=P_3=217.0 Torr$

The expression of an equilibrium constant is given by :

$K_p=\frac{P_1}{P_1\times P_2}$

$=\frac{217.0 Torr}{13.2 Torr\times 13.2 Torr}=1.245$

At equilibrium after adding chlorine gas:

Partial pressure of the $PCl_3=P_1'=13.2 Torr$

Partial pressure of the $Cl_2=P_2'=?$

Partial pressure of the $PCl_5=P_3'=217.0 Torr$

Total pressure of the system = P = 263.0 Torr

$P=P_1'+P_2'+P_3'$

$263.0Torr=13.2 Torr+P_2'+217.0 Torr$

$P_2'=32.8 Torr$

$PCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)$

At initail

(13.2) Torr (32.8) Torr (13.2) Torr

At equilbriumm

(13.2-x) Torr (32.8-x) Torr (217.0+x) Torr

$K_p=\frac{P_3'}{P_1'\times P_2'}$

$1.245=\frac{(217.0+x)}{(13.2-x)(32.8-x)}$

Solving for x;

x = 6.402 Torr

The new partial pressures after equilibrium is reestablished for $PCl_3$ :

$P_1'=(13.2-x) Torr=(13.2-6.402) Torr=6.798 Torr$

The new partial pressures after equilibrium is reestablished $Cl_2$ :

$P_2'=(32.8-x) Torr=(32.8-6.402) Torr=26.398 Torr$

The new partial pressures after equilibrium is reestablished for $PCl_5$ :

$P_3'=(217.0+x) Torr=(217+6.402) Torr=223.402 Torr$

Calculate the gravitational force of attraction between a 26kg boy and his 5.1kg dog when they are separated by 0.19m

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Gravitational force of attraction G(f) = 2.44 x 10⁻⁷ (approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass M1 = 26 kg

Mass M2 = 5.1 kg

Distance r = 0.19 m

Find:

Gravitational force of attraction G(f)

Computation:

Gravitational force of attraction G(f) = G(m1)(m2)/r²

Gravitational force of attraction G(f) = [6.67 x 10⁻¹¹](26)(5.1)/(0.19)²

Gravitational force of attraction G(f) = 8.84 x 10⁻⁹ / 0.0361

Gravitational force of attraction G(f) = 2.44 x 10⁻⁷ (approx.)
