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

Find the specific heat of an unknown material with an initial temperature of 20°C, when 5000 Joules are applied to a 50 gram sam

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

2J/g°C

Explanation:

Q = 5000J

Initial temperature (T1) = 20°C

Final temperature (T2) = 70°C

Specific heat capacity (c) = ?

Heat energy (Q) = mc∇T

Q = mc∇T

Q = mc(T2 - T1)

5000 = 50 × c × (70 - 20)

5000 = 50c × 50

5000 = 2500c

c = 5000 / 2500

c = 2J/g°C

The specific heat capacity of the substance is 2J/g°C

Measurements show that unknown compound has the following composition: element mass 38.7 % calcium, 19.9 % phosphorus and 41.2 %

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

D) empirical formula is: C₃P₂O₈

Explanation:

Given:

Mass % Calcium (Ca) = 38.7%

Mass % Phosphorus (P) = 19.9%

Mass % oxygen (O) = 41.2 %

This implies that for a 100 g sample of the unknown compound:

Mass Ca = 38.7 g

Mass P = 19.9 g

Mass O = 41.2 g

Step 1: Calculate the moles of Ca, P, O

Atomic mass Ca = 40.08 g/mol

Atomic mass P = 30.97 g/mol

Atomic mass O = 16.00 g/mol

$Moles\ Ca = \frac{38.7g}{40.08g/mol} =0.966\ mol\\\\Moles\ P = \frac{19.9g}{30.97g/mol} =0.643\ mol\\\\Moles\ O = \frac{41.2g}{16.00g/mol} =2.58\ mol$
