Deforestation has had the least effect on aquatic life.

Answer:

Deforestation.

Explanation:

Deforestation is a large-scale environmental catastrophe that does not have a great effect on the ocean's ecosystem because it does not affect it directly. Deforestation can affect the ocean's ecosystem in the long term due to the reduction of O₂ in the atmosphere, which contributes to global warming affecting the ocean's ecosystem along with pollution.

How many grams would 3.36 × 1023 molecules of copper (II) sulfate (CuSO4) weigh?

Semenov [28]

Molar mass ( CuSO₄) = 159.609 g/mol

159.609 g ----------------- 6.02 x 10²³ molecules
? g ------------------ 3.36 x 10²³ molecules

mass = ( 3.36 x10²³) x 159.609 / 6.02 x 10²³

mass = 5.36 x 10²⁴ / 6.02 x 10²³

mass = 8.90 g

hope this helps!

True or false? different reactions require different catalysts.

lapo4ka [179]

True, different reactions require different catalysts. Hence, option 1 is correct.

<h3>What are catalysts?</h3>

A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction or lowers the temperature or pressure needed to start one, without itself being consumed during the reaction.

Though a catalyst is supposed to remain unaltered at the end of the reaction, it does take part in the reaction by providing active centres for the reaction to take place.

By helping to form a suitable activated complex in the course of the reaction, the catalyst increases the rate of formation of the product, as well as its yield.

Therefore, a catalyst has to be reactant-specific to form the favourable activated complex or intermediate.

Hence, option 1 is correct.

Determine the empirical and molecular formula for chrysotile asbestos. Chrysotile has the following percent composition: 28.03%

nlexa [21]

Answer: The empirical and molecular formula of chrysotile is $Mg_3Si_2H_3O_4$ and $Mg_6Si_4H_6O_{16}$

Explanation:

We are given:

Percentage of Mg = 28.03 %

Percentage of Si = 21.60 %

Percentage of H = 1.16 %

Percentage of O = 49.21 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of Mg = 28.03 g

Mass of Si = 21.60 g

Mass of H = 1.16 g

Mass of O = 49.21 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Magnesium = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Magnesium}}{\text{Molar mass of Magnesium}}=\frac{28.03g}{24g/mole}=1.17moles$

Moles of Silicon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Silicon}}{\text{Molar mass of Silicon}}=\frac{21.06g}{28g/mole}=0.752moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{1.16g}{1g/mole}=1.16moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{49.21g}{16g/mole}=3.07moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.752 moles.

For Magnesium = $\frac{1.17}{0.752}=1.5$

For Silicon = $\frac{0.752}{0.752}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{1.16}{0.752}=1.5$

For Oxygen = $\frac{3.07}{0.485}=4.08\approx 4$

To convert the mole ratios into whole numbers, we multiply individual mole ratios by 2

Mole ratio of Magnesium = (2 × 1.5) = 3

Mole ratio of Silicon = (2 × 1) = 2

Mole ratio of Hydrogen = (2 × 1.5) = 3

Mole ratio of Oxygen = (2 × 4) = 8

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Mg : Si : H : O = 3 : 2 : 3 : 8

The empirical formula for the given compound is $Mg_3Si_2H_3O_8$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 520.8 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = [(24 × 3) + (28 × 2) + (1 × 3) + (16 × 8)] = 259 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{520.8g/mol}{259g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$Mg_{(3\times 2)}Si_{(2\times 2)}H_{(3\times 2)}O_{(8\times 2)}=Mg_6Si_4H_6O_{16}$

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula of chrysotile is $Mg_3Si_2H_3O_4$ and $Mg_6Si_4H_6O_{16}$
