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.

The combustion of butane produces heat according to the equation 2C4H10(g) + 13O2(g) → 8CO2(g) + 10H2O(l), ΔH°rxn= –5,314 kJ/mol
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

665 g

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

2 C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂(g) → 8 CO₂(g) + 10 H₂O(l), ΔH°rxn= –5,314 kJ/mol

According to this equation, 5,314 kJ are released per 8 moles of CO₂. The moles produced when 1.00 × 10⁴ kJ are released are:

-1.00 × 10⁴ kJ × (8 mol CO₂/-5,314 kJ) = 15.1 mol CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 15.1 moles is:

15.1 mol × 44.01 g/mol = 665 g

The green areas on the diagram show the world's rainforests. What can you conclude about the location of rainforests?
Ber [7]

Answer:

Option A

They are located near the equator

Explanation:

From the diagram, we can observe that all the rain forest zones occur near the equator.

This is because on an annual basis, the equator receives the highest concentration of solar radiation in the whole Earth. This implies that the rate of evaporation of water from the water bodies present  is high, and consequently, the amount of rainfall is high also. This abundant sunshine and high rainfall  leads to the growth of the tropical rain forests at those regions

Problem PageQuestion Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume
IgorC [24]

Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume of hydrogen chloride would be produced by this reaction if 3.16 L of chlorine were consumed at STP.

Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer: Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm  (at STP)

V = Volume of gas = 3.16 L

n = number of moles = ?

R = gas constant =0.0821Latm/Kmol

T =temperature =273K=

n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{1atm\times 3.16L}{0.0820 L atm/K mol\times 273K}=0.141moles

CH_4+4Cl_2\rightarrow 4HCl+CCl_4

According to stoichiometry:

4 moles of chlorine produces = 1 mole of carbon tetrachloride

Thus 0.141 moles of methane produces = \frac{1}{4}\times 0.141=0.0352 moles of carbon tetrachloride

volume of carbon tetrachloride =moles\times {\text {Molar volume}}=0.0352mol\times 22.4L/mol=0.788L

Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L
