When glaciers are growing larger, the concentration of the heavier oxygen isotope in sea water increases?

Chemistry

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]3 years ago

Answer: TRUE

Explanation: Oxygen has two isotopes namely, ¹⁶O (being the lighter oxygen) and ¹⁸O (being the heavier oxygen). Both this isotopes plays a significant role.

The water-ice that accumulates at the glaciated region are derived from the seas and oceans. The ocean and sea water when heated, gets vaporized and rises up, being rich in ¹⁶O, whereas the ¹⁸O, being the heavier isotope does not get vaporize and so it remains in the oceans.

This lighter oxygen isotopes ¹⁶O are then carried to the atmosphere which subsequently falls back as snow in the glacial covered region and consecutively forms ice undergoing compaction.

This, is the reason why ¹⁶O are rich in the glaciated region, whereas the ocean waters are rich in ¹⁸O.

Thus, the above given statement is true, i.e when glaciers become large in size and quantity, then the concentration of heavier oxygen isotope also increases in the ocean and sea water.

Answer : Yes, The heavier oxygen isotope in sea water is increasing as the result of growing of larger glaciers.

The global warming of the climate which is also called as global warming is helping to increase the isotopic oxygen in the ocean and sea waters. When glaciers are growing they have comparatively less isotopic oxygen but this proportion changes with the temperature.

In semiconductor manufacturing, wet chemical etching is often used to remove silicon from the backs of wafers prior to metalliza
Reptile [31]

Sample means for solutions 1 and 2 are 19.27 and 10.32 respectively

In semiconductor manufacturing,

The total for answer 1 is given by:

9.7+10.5+9.4+10.6+9.3+10.7+9.6+10.4+10.2+10.5 = 192.7

The sample size is 10 and provides us with

192.7/10 = 19.27

For solution 2, the sum is given by:

10.6+10.3+10.3+10.2+10.0+10.7+10.3+10.4+10.1+10.3 = 103.2

The sample size is 10, this gives us

103.2/10 = 10.32

The total for answer 2 is given by:

10.6+10.3+10.3+10.2+10.0+10.7+10.3+10.4+10.1+10.3 = 103.2

The sample size is 10 and provides us with

103.2/10 = 10.32

#SPJ4.

In semiconductor manufacturing, wet chemical etching is often used to remove silicon from the backs of wafers prior to metalization. The etch rate is an important characteristic in this process and is known to follow a normal distribution. Two different etching solutions have been compared, using two random samples of 10 wafers for each solution. Assume the variances are equal. The etch rates are as follows (in mils per minute): Solution 1 Solution 2 9.7 10.6 10.5 10.3 9.4 10.3 10.6 10.2 9.3 10.0 10.7 10.7 9.6 10.3 10.4 10.4 10.2 10.1 10.5 10.3 Calculate sample means of solution 1 and solution 2

A 4.98g sample of aniline (C6H5NH2, molar mass is 93.13g/mol) was combusted in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 4.25kJ
natima [27]

 the value  of  delta H°  for aniline = -3201. 5   Kj/mol


<u><em> calculation</em></u>

 Step 1: find heat

Q ( heat)  =  C  ( specific heat capacity)  x ΔT  ( change in temperature)

  C= 4.25 kj/c°

 ΔT = 69.8-29.5  = 40.3 c°

 Q= 4.25 kj/c    x  40.3 c = 171.28 kj

Step 2:  find the moles of aniline

  moles  = mass/ molar  mass

 = 4.98 g/ 93.13 g/mol =0.0535  moles

Step 3 :  find delta H

 171.28 kj   / 0.0535=3201.5 kj/mol


since the reaction is  exothermic  delta  H = -3201.5 Kj/mol

Two chemicals a and b are combined to form a chemical
dedylja [7]
-dB/dt = kAB = k(2B)(B) = 2kB^2
-dB/B^2 = 2kdt
Integrating: 1/B - 1/(B_0) = 2kt
At t = 10, if 15 g of C have formed, this must have consumed 10 g A and 5 g B. The remaining mass of B is 45 g.
1/45 - 1/50 = 2(k)(10)
k = 1.11 x 10^-4
Then substituting this value of k with t = 40:
1/B - 1/50 = 2(1.11 x 10^-4)(40)
1/B - 1/50 = 0.008889
1/B = 0.028889
B = 34.62 g remaining
Therefore, 50 - 34.62 = 15.38 g of B have been consumed.
Doubling, 30.76 g of A have been consumed.
This means that 15.38 + 30.76 = 46.15 g of C have been formed.
