The land isn't actually flat. With so many hills and mountains it would be hard to tell. We are also to small to notice the land is slightly curved

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The land around us appears flat because the Earth is just so unimaginably large, and the curvature is extremely small from our point of view. In reality, the land is slightly bendy, which is why certain structures (like very long bridges) need to be constructed with the curvature in mind, with different ends at slightly different elevations. Hope this helps!

Draw one of the stereoisomers of the product formed when benzaldehyde (c6h5cho) is treated with ph3p═chcooch3.
8_murik_8 [283]
This reaction is known as Wittig Reaction. A powerful reaction for the synthesis of Alkene. In question the starting materials are aldehyde and a Phosphorous Ylide. Ylide when reacted with aldehyde produces a four membered ring which on rearrangement gives Alkene and triphenylphosphine oxide. Phosphorous having great affinity toward the oxygen is the driving force of this rearrangement. The reaction along with product (highlighted blue) is as follow,

calcium has atomic number of 20 how many electrons of a calcium atom are involved in chemical bonding
Lelu [443]

The answer is 2 electrons.


The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2

Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements.  Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.

Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known  as an ionic compound.

For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas,   calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.

If there are 40 mol of NBr3 and 48 mol of NaOH, what is the excess reactant?
Nata [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

3NaOH+2NBr_3\rightarrow 3HOBr+3NaBr+N_2

Moles of NBr_3 = 40 mol

Moles of NaOH = 48 mol

According to reaction, 3 moles of NaOH reacts with 2 moles NBr_3

Then ,48 moles of NaOH will reacts with:

\frac{2}{3}\times 48 mol=32 mol of NBr_3

Then ,40 moles of NaBr_3 will reacts with:

\frac{3}{2}\times 40 mol=60 mol of NaOH

As we can see that 48 moles of sodium will completey react with 32 moles of nitrogen tribromide.

Moles left after reaction = 40 mol - 32 mol = 8 mol

Hence, the NBr_3 is an excessive reagent.

A bowling ball and basketball collide, what direction do they go and how is energy transferred?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

When the batter hits the ball, there is a force applied, and energy is transferred. The ball will move in the direction the force is pushing it. If two objects collide, energy will be transferred between both, and there will be a change in motion.
