List the 3 ways carbon can enter the ocean?

1 answer:

6 0

Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere dissolves in the surface waters of the ocean. Some of the carbon dioxide stays as dissolved gas, but much of it gets turned into other things. Photosynthesis by tiny marine plants (phytoplankton) in the sunlit surface waters turns the carbon into organic matte

At a given temperature the vapor pressure of pure liquid benzene and toluene are 745 torr and 290 torr, respectively. A solution

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Vapour pressure of benzene over the solution is 253 torr

Explanation:

According to Raoult's law for a mixture of two liquid component A and B-

vapour pressure of a component (A) in solution = $x_{A}\times P_{A}^{0}$

vapour pressure of a component (B) in solution = $x_{B}\times P_{B}^{0}$

Where $x_{A},x_{B}$ are mole fraction of component A and B in solution respectively

$P_{A}^{0},P_{B}^{0}$ are vapour pressure of pure A and pure B respectively

Here mole fraction of benzene in solution is 0.340 and vapour pressure of pure benzene is 745 torr

So, vapour pressure of benzene in solution = $0.340\times 745 torr$

= 253 torr

If the half life of iridium-182 is 15 years, how much of a 3 gram sample is left after 2 half-lives?

padilas [110]

Answer:

D. 0.75 grams

Explanation:

The data given on the iridium 182 are;

The half life of the iridium 182, $t_{(1/2)}$ = 15 years

The mass of the sample of iridium, N₀ = 3 grams

The amount left, N(t) after two half lives is given as follows;

$N(t) = N_0 \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{t}{t_{1/2}} }$

For two half lives, t = 2 × $t_{(1/2)}$

∴ t = 2 × 15 = 30

$\dfrac{t}{t_{(1/2)}} = \dfrac{30}{15} = 2$

$\therefore N(t) = 3 \times\left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^2 = 0.75$

∴ The amount left, N(t) = 0.75 grams

At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure heptane C7H16 is measured to be 454.mmHg. Suppose a solution is prepared by

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Mass of heptane = 102g

Vapor pressure of heptane = 454mmHg

Molar mass of heptane = 100.21

No of mole of heptane = mass/molar mass = 102/100.21

No of mole of heptane = 1.0179

Therefore the partial pressure of heptane = no of mole heptane *Vapor pressure of heptane

Partial pressure of heptane = 1.0179*454mmHg

Partial pressure of heptane = 462.1096 = 462mmHg

the partial pressure of heptane vapor above this solution = 462mmHg
