Carbon in the lithosphere is held in soil in the form of both organic and inorganic carbon which often as calcium carbonate. Carbon can leave the soil through soil respiration – which releases CO2, or by erosion – which can carry it into rivers or the ocean, where it then enters the hydrosphere.

Answer:

The carbon in the lithosphere was initially found in the form of carbonate rocks. The formation of these carbonate rocks took place due to the deposition of the ancient marine plankton at the base of the ocean because of the activity of pressure and heat and got transformed into coal and petroleum.  

The burning of fossil fuel, that is, the coal and petroleum gave rise to carbon dioxide, thus, it can be concluded that initially in the lithosphere the carbon prevailed in the form of carbonate rocks.

A container of a mixture of 4 gases has a total pressure of 35.7 kPa. Gas A has a partial pressure of 7.8kPa. Gas B has a partia
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

partial pressure of gas D Pd = 15.5 kPa

Explanation:

As per the Dalton's law of partial pressure, in a mixture, pressure exerted by each gas when summed gives the total partial pressure exerted by mixture.

P(Total) = P1+P2+P3.....

Given P(Total) = 35.7 kPa

Partial pressure of gas A Pa = 7.8 kPa

Partial pressure of gas B Pb = 3.7 kPa

Partial pressure of gas C Pc =  8.7 kPa

There, Partial pressure of gas D Pd = P(Total) -(Pa+Pb+Pc)

Pd = 35.7-(7.8+3.7+8.7) = 35.7-20.2 kPa = 15.5 kPa

Therefore, partial pressure of gas D Pd = 15.5 kPa

2. Calculate the density of a metal that occupies 17.75 cm and has a mass of 342.93 g. [D = m/V]
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

19.32

Explanation:

the density is given by the mass over volume

the mass In this case is 342.93 and the volume is 17.75

d=342.93g/17.75cm

=19.32g/cm

Lipids are made up of long hydrocarbon chains, composed of all carbon and hydrogen atoms. this characteristic makes lipids insol
Airida [17]
This is because their tails are hydrophobic and their heads are hydrophilic. Hydrophobic meaning dislikes being near water and hydrophilic meaning likes to be near water. Therefore, they will orientate themselves in such a manner that the heads are facing externally and all the tails are facing together protected by the hydrophilic heads. google a photo of lipid chains in water if you are still confused. I'm not sure if that is what you are asking, but I hope it helps.

What does non polar mean?
Hoochie [10]
When atoms bond together to form molecules, they share or give electrons. If the electrons are shared equally by the atoms, then there is no resulting charge and the molecule is nonpolar.
