Answer:

36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.

Explanation:

5C_6H_6+15O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+15H_2O

Mass of benzene = 30 mg = 0.03 g (1000 mg = 1 g )

Moles benzene =\frac{0.03 g}{78 g/mol}=0.0003846 mol

According to reaction 5 moles of benzene reacts with 15 moles of oxygen gas.

Then 0.0003846 mol of benzene will react with:

\frac{15}{5}\times 0.0003846 mol=0.0011538 mol of oxygen gas

Mass of 0.0011538 moles of oxygen gas:

0.0011538 mol × 32 g/mol = 0.03692 g = 36.92 mg

36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.

Which of the following is an example of a physical change? A) grinding coffee beans B) baking a cake C) converting water to hydr
lara [203]

Answer: A) grinding coffee beans

Explanation:

A physical change is defined as a change in which there is alteration in shape, size etc. No new substance gets formed in these reactions.

A chemical change is defined as a change in which a change in chemical composition takes place. A new substance is formed in these reactions.

1. Grinding coffee : Only change in size takes place, thus a physical change

2. Baking a cake: the chemical reaction occurs by combination of flour with oxygen , thus a chemical change.

3.:converting water to hydrogen and oxygen: The decomposition iof water takes place, thus is a chemical change

4.Burning of coal: the chemical reaction occurs by combination of carbon with oxygen , thus a chemical change.

The alternative pathways of photosynthesis using the c4 or cam systems are said to be compromises. why?
frosja888 [35]
 It is because C4 compromises on water loss and CAM compromises on photorespiration. and Both minimize photorespiration but expend more ATP during carbon fixation.

A 7.47 g sample of calcium carbonate [CaCO3 (s)] absorbs 85 J of heat, upon which the temperature of the sample increases from 2
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C) = 0.82 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Energy absorbs (q) = 85 J

Change in temperature (Δt) = 34.9 - 21 = 13.9°C  

Mass of calcium carbonate = 7.47 g

Find:

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C)

Computation:

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C) = q / m(Δt)

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C) = 85 / (7.47)(13.9)

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C) = 85 / 103.833

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C) = 0.8186

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C) = 0.82 (Approx)
