Answer:

Marine life is least affected by the temperature fluctuations of the atmosphere.

Explanation:

The high specific heat capacity of water means that it takes much more energy to raise the temperatures of water by one (1) degree than land. This means that on a hot sunny day, land temperatures would increase dramatically while ocean temperatures would only rise slightly. Conversely, at night, the land cools rapidly while oceans cool slowly hence the temperatures drop slightly.

Zolol [24]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

It takes 151 kJ/mol to break an iodine-iodine single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which an iodine-iodine single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer: 793 nm

Explanation:

The relation between energy and wavelength of light is given by Planck's equation, which is:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

E = energy of the light = 151 kJ= 151000 J (1kJ=1000J)

N= moles = 1 = $6.023\times 10^{23}$

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of light = ?

Putting in the values:

$151000J=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js\times 3\times 10^8m/s}{\lambda}$

${\lambda}=7.93\times 10^{-7}m=793nm$ $1m=10^{-9}nm$

Thus the maximum wavelength of light for which an iodine-iodine single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 793 nm

Carbon has two naturally occurring isotopes: C-12 (natural abundance is 98.93%) and C-13 (natural abundance is 1.07%). How many

Sav [38]

The number of atoms present, on average, will be the natural abundance of the isotope times the number of atoms in the sample => number of C-13 atoms = C-13 abundance * number of atoms in the sample = 1.07% * 30,000 = 1.07 * 30,000 / 100 = 321 atoms. Answer: 321 atoms.
