Answer:

There are two explanations to this: covalent network bonding and carbon-silicate cycle.

Explanation:

A network solid or covalent network solid is a chemical compound which is formed through a continued network of atoms or molecules held together by a covalent bond throughout the system. An example included C-C bond in graphite or C-Si bond in silicon carbide (tentative reaction equation below):

xSiO2 + yCO2→ SixCyO(2x+2y)

Si-Si bonds are not as strong as C-C bonds and can easily be displaced as the particles react with atmospheric CO2.

The second scenerio is when silicates such as calcium silicate CaSiO3, or wollastonite, reacts with atmospheric carbon dioxide and water to yield a calcium ion, Ca2+, a bicarbonate ion, HCO3-, and dissolved silica. This process occurs during carbon-silicate cycle and increase organic carbon content:

2CO2 + H2) + CaSiO3 → + SiO2CaCO3 + CO2 + H2)

Spell out the full name of the compound.
Talja [164]

Answer:

2–methyl–3–propylheptane.

Explanation:

The name of the compound can be obtained as follow:

1. Identify the functional group of the compound.

2. Determine the name of the compound by determining the longest continuous carbon chain.

3. Identify the substituent group attached.

4. Locate the position of the substituent group by giving it the lowest possible count. Where there are two or more different substitutent group attached to the compound, name them alphabetically.

5. Name the compound by combining

the above steps.

Thus, we can name the compound as follow:

1. The compound has only single bond. Therefore, the compound is an alkane.

2. The longest continuous carbon chain is 7. Therefore, the parent name of the compound is heptane.

3. The substitutent groups attached are:

Propyl i.e –C3H7

Methyl i.e –CH3

4. The substituent groups are located at:

Propyl i.e –C3H7 is located at carbon 3.

Methyl i.e –CH3 is located at carbon 2.

5. The name of the compound is:

2–methyl–3–propylheptane.

What is the relationship between atmospheric pressure and the density of gas particles in an area of increasing pressure? As air
Marina86 [1]

We need to know the relationship between atmospheric pressure and the density of gas particles in an area of increasing pressure.

The relationship is: As air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area increases.

For any gaseous substance, density of gas is directly proportional to pressure of gas.

This can be explained from idial gas edquation:

PV=nRT

PV=\frac{w}{M}RT [where, w= mass of substance, M=molar mass of substance]

PM=\frac{w}{V}RT

PM=dRT [where, d=density of thesubstance]

So, for a particular gaseous substance (whose molar mass is known), at particular temperature, pressure is directly related to density of gaseous substance.

Therefore, as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area increases.

With the exception of our sun, most stars are huge, bright balls of gas located trillions of miles away from earth true or false
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Stars are bright and enormous astronomical bodies that are located at a large distance from the earth. They are made up of the lightest gaseous elements namely hydrogen and helium. These hydrogen atoms undergo the reaction of nuclear fusion, which fuels the energy of the star and allows the star to shine, releasing a large amount of energy. They are located about trillions of miles away from the location of the earth, due to which they appear smaller in size.

Thus, the above-given statement is True.
