Earth's atmosphere is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.9% argon, and 0.03% carbon dioxide with very small percentages of other elements. Our atmosphere also contains water vapor. In addition, Earth's atmosphere contains traces of dust particles, pollen, plant grains and other solid particles.

Answer:

The atmosphere of the earth refers to the gaseous envelope where various types of gases are present at a definite proportion. The major dominant gas is Nitrogen which is nearly 78%, next to this is the oxygen gas which is about 21% and Argon is present at about 1%. Some of the gases that are present in trace amount includes hydrogen. helium, carbon dioxide, ozone, methane, water vapor and many more. This composition of the atmosphere maintains the overall temperature of the earth by interacting with the incoming solar radiation.

There are certain solids that are very small and tiny particles found to be floating within the atmosphere. These are aerosol particles, dust particles, pollen and spores which are mainly emitted from the volcanic eruptions and sea spray. The aerosols are very fine suspended solid particles present abundantly in the atmosphere. They are originated both naturally and due to human activities. These fine particles help in maintaining a cooler temperature by decreasing the quantity of solar radiation emitted from the sun. These are so small that it can be lifted up easily into the higher atmosphere due to the wind factor.

Due to the small and highly electronegative nature of fluorine, the oxyacids of the this element are much less common and less s
Molodets [167]

Answer:

HOFO = (0, 0, +1, -1)

Explanation:

The formal charge (FC) can be calculated using the following equation:

FC = V - N - \frac{1}{2}B

<u>Where:</u>

V: are the valence electrons

N: are the nonbonding electrons

B: are the bonding electrons

The arrange of the atoms in the oxyacid is:

H - O₁ - F - O₂

Hence, the formal charge (FC) on each of the atoms is:

H: FC = 1 - 0 - 1/2*(2) = 0            

O₁: FC = 6 - 4 - 1/2*(4) = 0        

F: FC = 7 - 4 - 1/2*(4) = +1

O₂: FC =  6 - 6 - 1/2*(2) = -1

We can see that the negative charge is in the oxygen instead of the most electronegative element, which is the F. This oxyacid is atypical.  

I hope it helps you!

Electroplating is a way to coat a complex metal object with a very thin (and hence inexpensive) layer of a precious metal, such
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

0.0164 g

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction of silver (I) to silver that occurs in the cathode during the electroplating.

Ag⁺(aq) + 1 e⁻ → Ag(s)

We can establish the following relations.

  • 1 A = 1 C/s
  • The charge of 1 mole of electrons is 96,468 C (Faraday's constant)
  • 1 mole of Ag(s) is deposited when 1 mole of electrons circulate.
  • The molar mass of silver is 107.87 g/mol

The mass of silver deposited when a current of 0.770 A circulates during 19.0 seconds is:

19.0s \times \frac{0.770c}{s} \times \frac{1mole^{-} }{96,468C} \times \frac{1molAg}{1mole^{-}} \times \frac{107.87g}{1molAg} = 0.0164 g

A compound with molecular formula C6H15N exhibits a singlet at d 0.9 ppm (1H), a triplet at 1.10 ppm (3H), a singlet at 1.15 ppm
Triss [41]

Answer:

CH3 - CH2 - NH - C(CH3)3

Explanation:

The 1HNMR is the acronym for Proton nuclear magnetic resonance and it is used in chemistry or Chemical laboratory for the analysis and identification of compounds.

In order to be able to answer the question accurately you have to have the tables containing all the values for chemical shift. The Chemical shift is measured in ppm and it occur due to Resonance frequency variation.

From the table, a singlet at 1.15 ppm (9H) is - C(CH3)3.

A singlet at d 0.9 ppm (1H) shows the presence of a secondary amine group, that is -R2NH group.

A triplet at 1.10 ppm (3H) shows that we have;

CH3- CH2-

A quartet at 2.6 ppm (2H) shows that we have;

-CH2 - CH3.

Therefore, joining all together we have;

CH3 - CH2 - NH - C(CH3)3.

Kindly check attached file for the picture of the structure.
