Without the carbon cycle we wouln't have air to breathe, we would die due to the lack of air.

Plants use carbon dioxide and sunlight to make their own food and grow. The carbon becomes part of the plant. Plants that die and are buried may turn into fossil fuels made of carbon like coal and oil over millions of years. When humans burn fossil fuels, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.

Answer:

Recall that carbon is the cornerstone of organic compounds, the compounds necessary for life. But do organisms make their own carbon? Do they have the genes that encode proteins necessary to make carbon? No. In fact, there are no such genes. Carbon must be recycled from other living organisms, from carbon in the atmosphere, and from carbon in other parts of the biosphere.

5. Which are physical properties of a property of Aluminum metal?

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Aluminum is a shiny, silvery white colored metal that is light in weight and strong. Th density of aluminum is 2.7 g/mL, which means the metal will sink in water, but is still relatively light

Hope this helps (:

If 8.00 g NH4NO3 is dissolved in 1000 g of water, the water decreases in temperature from 21.00 degrees Celsius to 20.39 degrees

telo118 [61]

Answer:

25.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

There are two heats involved.

heat of solution of NH₄NO₃ + heat from water = 0

q₁ + q₂ = 0

n = moles of NH₄NO₃ = 8.00 g NH₄NO₃ × 1 mol NH₄NO₃/80.0 g NH₄NO₃

∴ n = 0.100 mol NH₄NO₃

q₁ = n * ΔHsoln = 0.100 mol * ΔHsoln

m = mass of solution = 1000.0 g + 8.00 g = 1008.0 g

q₂ = mcΔT = 58.0 g × 4.184 J°C⁻¹ g⁻¹ × ((20.39-21)°C) = -2570.19 J

q₁ + q₂ = 0.100 mol ×ΔHsoln – 2570.19 J = 0

ΔHsoln = +2570.19 J /0.100 mol = +25702 J/mol = +25.7 kJ/mol

The reaction of nitrogen gas and oxygen gas to form nitrogen monoxide gas is shown below. If the measured concentrations of all

Anettt [7]

Answer:

The forward reaction is occurring at a faster rate than the reverse reaction.

Explanation:

Reaction quotient (Q) of the given reaction is -

$Q=\frac{[NO]^{2}}{[N_{2}][O_{2}]}$

where [NO], $[N_{2}]$ and $[O_{2}]$ represents concentrations of respective species at a certain time.

Here $[N_{2}]$ = 0.80 M, $[O_{2}]$ = 0.050 M and [NO] = 0.10 M

So, $Q=\frac{(0.10)^{2}}{(0.80)\times (0.050)}=2$

Hence $Q> K$

It means that forward reaction is faster than reverse reaction at that point. Because then only concentration of NO is higher than concentrations of $[N_{2}]$ and $[O_{2}]$ which makes Q higher than K.

Determine the number of moles of C5H12 that are contained in 357.4 g of the compound.

AlladinOne [14]

Answer: 4.96 moles

Explanation:

C5H12 is the chemical formula for pentane, the fifth member of the alkane family.

Given that,

number of moles of C5H12 = ?

Mass in grams = 357.4 g

Molar mass of C5H12 = ?

To get the molar mass of C5H12, use the atomic mass of carbon = 12g; and Hydrogen = 1g

i.e C5H12 = (12 x 5) + (1 x 12)

= 60g + 12g

= 72g/mol

Now, apply the formula

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 357.4g / 72g/mol

= 4.96 moles

Thus, 4.96 moles of C5H12 that are contained in 357.4 g of the compound.
