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.

how many moles of iron will be produced from 6.20 moles of carbon monoxide reacting with excess iron (III) oxide (FeO3) to produ
Gelneren [198K]

0.20 moles of iron will be formed in the reaction.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between iron (iii) oxide and carbon monoxide to form Fe is to be known first.

the balanced reaction is :

Fe2O3 + 3CO⇒ 2 Fe + 3 CO2

so from the data given the number of moles of carbon monoxide can be known:

3 moles of CO reacted with Fe2O3 to form 2 moles of iron in the reaction.

Number of moles of CO is 6.20 moles

11.6 gm of iron is formed

so the number of moles of iron formed is calculated as

n = mass of iron ÷ atomic weight of iron

  = 11.6 ÷ 55.84

  = 0.20 moles of iron will be formed when 11.6 gram of iron is produced.

How many atoms are in a sample of 0.75 moles of carbon atoms
vova2212 [387]

Answer: 4.5165 *10^-23 moles Carbon

Explanation:

There are 6.022*10^23 atoms in a mole.

Therefore, there would be 6.022*10^-23*0.75 atoms in 0.75 moles of Carbon.

= 4.5165 *10^-23 moles Carbon
