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)

What is the density of a solid that has a mass of 100g and a volume of 25mL.?
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

D = 4 g/mL

General Formulas and Concepts:

Density = Mass over Volume

  • D = m/V

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

m = 100 g

V = 25 mL

D = unknown

<u>Step 2: Find D</u>

  1. Substitute:               D = 100 g/25 mL
  2. Evaluate:                  D = 4 g/mL

Convert 6mol NO2 into grams Convert 800 grams of LiO into moles! Convert 4500 grams of SO2 into molecules! Convert 30 mol H2O in
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

1. 276 g of NO₂

2. 34.8 moles of LiO

3. 4.23×10²⁵ molecules of SO₂

4. 540 g of H₂O

5. 224 g CO

Explanation:

Let's define the molar mass of the compound to define the moles or the grans of each.

Molar mass . moles = Mass

Mass (g) / Molar mass = Moles

1. 6 mol . 46 g / 1 mol = 276 g of NO₂

2. 800 g . 1mol / 22.94 g = 34.8 moles of LiO

3. To determine the number of molecules, we convert the mass to moles and then, we use the NA (1 mol contains 6.02×10²³ molecules)

4500 g . 1mol / 64.06 g = 70.2 moles of SO₂

70.2 mol . 6.02×10²³ molecules / 1 mol = 4.23×10²⁵ molecules of SO₂

4. 30 mol . 18g / 1 mol = 540 g of H₂O

5. 8 mol . 28g /  1mol = 224 g CO
