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.

What is the atomic weight of Na?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

22.989769 u

Explanation:

The atomic weight of any atom can be found by multiplying the abundance of an isotope of an element by the atomic mass of the element and then adding the results together. This equation can be used with elements with two or more isotopes: Carbon-12: 0.9889 x 12.0000 = 11.8668. Carbon-13: 0.0111 x 13.0034 = 0.1443.

A 4.86-gram sample of calcium reacted completely with oxygen to form 6.80 grams of calcium oxide. This reaction is represented b
sesenic [268]
The number of mole of Ca reacted is:
4.86 g Ca/ (40.08 g/mol Ca)= 0.121 mol Ca

Because Ca reacted completely with oxygen and there is 2 mol Ca, there is 1 mol O2 reacted.

Total mass of oxygen that reacted is:
0.121 mol Ca* (1mol O2/ 2 mol Ca)* (32 g O2/ 1 mol O2)= 1.94 g O2 reacted.

Hope this would help~
