It would help if I could see the specific answer choices, but an environment that would have lots of oxygen, water, decaying organisms and sunlight would be the answer (ex. the forest or riverbed)
The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
Calcium Carbide (CaC₂) is an unusual substance that contains a carbon anion (C₂²⁻). The reaction with water involves several steps that occur in rapid succession. CaC2 is a salt (notice that its name is similar to sodium chloride). When a salt dissolves in water, ions leave the crystal lattice and enter the aqueous (aq) solution. Write the relevant balanced chemical equation for the dissolution of CaC₂, in water.
Answer:
CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)
Explanation:
When a salt dissolves in water, it dissociates in its ions. In the Calcium Carbide, the cation is Ca⁺² and the anion is C₂²⁻, so the reaction is:
CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)
The base Ca(OH)₂ is soluble, so it will dissociate at Ca⁺ and OH⁻, but the C₂H₂ is stable and doesn't dissociate in the solution.
Answer:
"A", "water changes from a gas to a solid to a liquid", according to this phase diagram, at at 0°C, as pressure is increased from 0atm to 10atm.
Explanation:
The question asks what happens at 0°C, as pressure is increased from 0atm to 10atm.
According to the question, the temperature is held constant. The pressure changes. In the phase diagram, we find the temperature 0°C on the horizontal axis, and all points where the temperature are 0°C are along that vertical line.
Since the pressure starts at 0atm and increases to 10atm, we start at the bottom, and move upward along that line, to see what phases of matter the substance changes to.
At the bottom, it is initially in a "gas" phase. As it moves up, it transitions to a "solid" phase. Later, as it continues moving up, it changes again into a "liquid" phase.
Thus, the answer would be "A", "water changes from a gas to a solid to a liquid", according to this phase diagram, at at 0°C, as pressure is increased from 0atm to 10atm.
Answer:
(C) The average molecular speed of ethane is equal to the average molecular speed of propanol.
Explanation:
When dealing with gases, you know that the temperature and speed are related. When held at a constant temperature, the speed is also held constant. We also know that ideal gases behave the same despite their identities.
I'd say he ways about 35 kilograms, but I'm probably wrong, xD
