Answer:

C.  CO2 exists in relatively high concentrations.  

Explanation:

From the available options:

A.  CO2 molecules are highly symmetrical.  

B.  CO2 has a low molar mass.  

C.  CO2 exists in relatively high concentrations.  

D.  CO2 is formed in the combustion of fossil fuels.  

<em>The focus on CO2 as far as global warming is concerned is not because It has a high global warming potential but because of its relatively high concentration in the atmosphere as a result of both natural and anthropological activities.</em>

The correct option is C.

How many Joules of heat will be given off by 55.0g of water as it cools from 87.3°C to 25.0°C?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Q = -14322.77 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water = 55.0 g

Initial temperature = 87.3°C

Final temperature = 25.0 °C

Heat given off = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g.°C

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 25.0 °C - 87.3°C

ΔT = - 62.3 °C

Q = 55.0 g×4.18 J/g.°C × - 62.3 °C

Q = -14322.77 J

A 5.00 g sample of a pure substance powder is heated, and the powder leaves 4.63g of a shiny, metallic liquid. Is the powder an
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

compound

Explanation:

We already know that the original substance was pure. If this substance was pure and it was powdery in nature then we have a footing to start from.

Secondly, a 4.93 g of shinny metallic liquid was left behind. This shinny metallic liquid must be an element.

Since there was a loss in mass during heating, it follows that there were other components of the pure powder.

If the reasoning stated above is correct, then the substance is a compound.

Which two electron configurations represent elements that would have similar chemical properties? (1) 1s22s22p4 (2) 1s22s22p5 (3
Anton [14]

Answer: Two electron configurations of elements that would have similar chemical properties are (2) and (4).

Explanation:

(1) 1s^22s^22p^4

(2) 1s^22s^22p^5

(3) [Ar]4s^23d^5

(4) [Ar]4s^23d^{10}^4p^5

Valence electrons : These are the electrons present in last principal quantum number of an atom of the element.

Two electron configurations represent elements that would have similar chemical properties are (2) and (4). This is because number of valence electrons present in both of them are same that is seven valence electrons . Also valence electrons of both the elements are present in p-orbital which means that they both belongs to same group  in a periodic table. The members of same group in a periodic table have similar chemical properties.
