Explain why glacial deposits have been found in Africa?

2 answers:

5 0

Glacial deposits of various ages have been found in Africa and in most other continents. This is because the continents move around the surface of the earth due to plate tectonics, and at some times the continent was situated close to one or other of the poles. Bear in mind, however, that at the time these deposits were made Africa was part of the larger supercontinent of Gondwana - glacial deposits of the same age are found in S. America and in India. There was an earlier glacial event as well, and traces of the so-called snowball earth event in the late Precambrian are found in Namibia. However, there are no glacial deposits in Africa that relate to the current ice-age.

Glaciers were found in Africa because continents were connected and party covered with snow near the south pole long ago.

If you run this reaction with 15 g of CuCl2 and 20 g NaNO3, what is the theoretical yield of NaCl?

Margaret [11]

The theoretical yield of a substance is the amount of the mass that is calculated from stoichiometry. The mass of sodium chloride produced is 13.03 gms.

Mass of the substance is a multiplication of the molar mass and moles.

The balanced reaction is given as:

CuCl₂ + 2NaNO₃ ⇒ 2NaCl + Cu(NO₃)₂

Moles of copper chloride are calculated as: 15 ÷ 134.45 = 0.115 moles

Moles of sodium nitrate are calculated as: 20 ÷ 84.99 = 0.2353 moles

From the reaction, 1 mole of copper chloride gives 2 moles of sodium chloride so, 0.115 moles of copper chloride will produce 0.223 moles.

Similarly, 2 moles of sodium nitrate produce 2 moles of sodium chloride so, 0.2353 moles produce 0.4706 moles.

From this, it can be concluded that copper chloride is a limiting reagent and will be used to calculate the mass of NaCl.

Mass of NaCl is calculated as: Mass = 0.223 moles × 58.44 = 13.03 gms.

Therefore, 13.03 gms is the theoretical yield of sodium chloride.

Answer:

H+ + OH− --> H2O

Explanation:

Hydrochloric acid is represented by the chemical formular; HCl. This is an ionic substance so in water it breaks apart into hydrohrn ions; H+ and chloride ions; Cl−. It is a strong acid, hence it completely dissociates.

Potassium Hydroxide is also an ionic substance it also breaks apart in water into potassium ions; K+ and hydroxide ions; OH−. It is a strong base, hence it completely dissociates.

The complete ionic equation for the reaction is given as;

H+ + Cl− + K+ + OH− --> K+ + Cl− + H2O

The Hydrogen ion and the Hydroxide ions combine to form water.

The net ionic equation is given as;

H+ + OH− --> H2O

Cl- and K+ ions were cancelled out because they do not undergo any changes therefore are not part of the net ionic equation. They are referred to as spectator ions.

Balance the combustion eqation; __C5H + __O2 ---> __CO2+__H2O

stira [4]

This equation C5H + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O has a mistake.

C5H is wrong. You missed the subscript of H.

I will do it for you assuming some subscript to show you the procedure, but you have to use the right equation to get the right balanced equation.

Assuming the tha combustion equation is C5H12 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O

First you need to balance C, so you put a 5 before CO2 and get

C5H12 + O2 ---> 5CO2 + H2O

Now you count the hydrogens: 12 on the left and 2 on the right. So put a 6 before H2O and get:

C5H12 + O2 ---> 5CO2 + 6H2O

Now count the oxygens: 2 on the left and 16 on the right, so put an 8 on before O2:

=> C5H12 + 8O2 ---> 5CO2 + 6H2O.

You can verify that the equation is balanced

15. Calculate the hydrogen ion concentration of a

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

pH = − log [H+] , we can solve for [H+] as,

− pH = log [H+] ,

[H+] = 10^−pH,

so PH =2.4 in you case is

[H+] = 10^-2.4 =0.00398
