• Explain what causes the water to move through the cycle.

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Evaporation and gravity cause water to move through the water cycle.

Explanation:

Evaporation turns liquid water into a gas, and brings it up into the atmosphere, where the gas condenses into frozen water molecules, which stick to each other. When a clump of water molecules gets too heavy, gravity pulls them down to the surface as precipitation. Depending on the temperature, the frozen water droplets may melt, or stay frozen.

Gravity brings precipitation to the ground.

Water has to heat up from high temperature, from either the sun or another heat source, to change the form from gas to liquid.

Water vapor must get to a certain temperature of cold to freeze, causing it to condense from a gas to liquid.

Thermal energy causes evaporation of water, which allows the water to be reprecipitated once again.

The rate constant for the oxidation of nitric oxide by ozone is 2 x 10^14 molecule cm s, whereas that for the competing reaction

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The NO + O3 is the dominant reaction.

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert to molecules/cm³;

For O3;

O3 at 40 ppb in atm= 4 x 10^(-8) atm and from ideal gas law PV = nRT or simplify n/V = P/RT

Thus, plugging in the relevant values to get;

n/V = [4 x 10^(-8)]/(0.0821 x 298) = 1.636 x 10^(-9)

So, n/V = 1.636 x 10^(-9) = (1.635 x 10-9 mol L-1)(6.02 x10^(23) molec/mol)(L/1000 cm3) =

9.84 x 10^(11) molecules/cm³

But from the question, NO has 2 moles, and thus concentration is;

2 x 9.84 x 10^(11) = 1.968 x 10^(12) molec/cm³

For O2;

Following the same pattern for O3, we obtain;

(0.21 atm)/[(0.0821 L atm mol-1 K-1)(298K)] = 5.167 x 1018 molecules/cm³

Now, for NO and O3 reaction the rate is; k[NO] [O3]

Thus rate;

= (2 x 10^(-14)cm³/molec.s)( 9.84 x 10^(11)molec/cm³)(1.968 x 10^(12) molec/cm³) = 3.9 molec/cm³.s

For 2NO + O2 → 2NO2 reaction, rate = k[NO]2 [O2]

Thus, rate;

= (2 x 10^(-38) cm^(6)/molec².s )( 1.968 x 10^(12) molec/cm³) ²

(5.167 x 1018 molec/cm³)

= 40,000 molec/cm³.s

Observing the two rates, it's clear that the NO + O3 is the dominant reaction.

What is the hybridization of the central atom, electron geometry, and molecular geometry of H3CCCH?

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Hybridization: sp

Electron geometry: linear

Molecular geometry: linear

Explanation:

H₃CCCH can also be written as its Lewis structure which is shown in the figure attached. The figure shows that the central carbon atom makes a single bond with CH₃ and a triple bond with CH. This means that the hybridization of the carbon is sp and both the electron and molecular geometry are linear with an 180° bond angle.
