Elza [17]3 years ago

Answer:

<u><em></em></u>

  • <u><em>Henry's Law.</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>"Bends" </em>is caused because the<em> pressure deep underwater</em> is considerably larger thant the atmospheric pressure.

As <em>Henry's Law</em> states, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas over the solution: the larger the pressure of the gas, the larger the solubility.

That means that deep underwater, where the pressure is high, more nitrogen gas will be dissolved in the blood of a diver than what can be dissolved on the surface, where the pressure is less.

The nitrogen gas that cannot be dissolved in the blood at lower pressures, when the diver rises to the surface, will form bubbles in the blood that will reach the tissues where they will cause health problems.

Thus, this is an example of <u><em>Henry's Law</em></u>: statement 5 from the choices.

podryga [215]

Answer : The correct option is, (c) use of a mobile and a stationary phase.

Explanation :

Chromatography : It is a separation process or technique of a mixture in which a mixture is distributed between the two phases at different rates, one of which is stationary phase and another is mobile phase.

Mobile phase : The mixture is dissolved in a solution is known as mobile phase.

Stationary phase : It is an adsorbent medium and It is a solid, liquid or gel that remains immovable when a liquid or a gas moves over the surface of adsorbent. It remains stationary.

Hence, a characteristic feature of any form of chromatography is the use of a mobile and a stationary phase.

How have humans contributed to an increase in carbon dioxide levels in the past 100 years?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is an important green house gas. A small increase in the concentration of this gas can lead to the global rise in the surface temperature. Over the last 100 years, this gas has increased significantly. One of the main cause behind this the anthropogenic activities.

After the setup of the industrial revolution, there has been a large increase in this CO₂ concentration, as there are numerous large factories and indutries that releases this harmful gases. In addition to this, the burning up of fossil fuel also is responsible for the emission of large amount of carbon into the atmosphere.

Deforestation also is another cause, because trees are no longer there in vast quantities which takes up a large number of atmospheric carbon and in return liberates plenty of oxygen.

Thus, the activities done by man over the last century has led to the increase in the concentration of CO₂ into the atmosphere.

Reil [10]
The heat transfer formula is;
Q = m * c * Δ T >>>> (1)
where, Q is the heat transfer
m = mass  (gram)
c = the specific heat capacity (J/g)
Δ T = change in temperature
∵ we have one mole of Ethanol
∴ the weight of ethanol equals its molecular weight = (2*12)+(6*1)+(16) = 46 g
we will assume that the specific heat capacity of ethanol is 2.46 J/g (from google) 
ΔT = 25 - 320 = - 295 C
By substitution in (1)
∴ Q = 2.46 * 46 * (-295) = - 33382.2 J
