Answer:

Check Explanation.

Explanation:

When we are talking about the reservoirs of carbon we mean the places where carbon are been stored. So, we will be considering the places where carbon can be stored in our planet. Remember that carbon is the 6th element in the periodic table or chart.

Within these Reservoirs, the carbon moves from one to another and that is called Carbon cycle. The reservoirs of carbon can be in the atmosphere, the lithosphere and in the biosphere.

(1). Carbon can be stored in the atmosphere as Carbondioxide,CO2.

(2). Carbon can be found on lithosphere in sedimentary rock such as limestone. Also, as components in fossil fuels.

(3). Carbon can be found in the biosphere as soil carbon.

How much heat is absorbed when 63.7 g H2O(l) at 100 degrees Celsius and 101.3kPa is converted to steam at 100

Alona [7]

Answer:

Q = 143,921 J = 143.9 kJ.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to calculate the absorbed heat by considering this is a process involving sensible heat associated to the vaporization of water, which is isothermic and isobaric; and thus, the heat of vaporization of water, with a value of about 2259.36 J/g, is used as shown below:

$Q=m*\Delta _{vap}H$

Thus, we plug in the mass and the aforementioned heat of vaporization of water to obtain the following:

$Q=63.7g*2259.36J/g\\\\Q=143,921J=143.9kJ$

A chemist prepares a solution of magnesium chloride MgCl2 by measuring out 49.mg of MgCl2 into a 100.mL volumetric flask and fil

Flura [38]

Answer: Molarity of $Cl^-$ anions in the chemist's solution is 0.0104 M

Explanation:

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present per liter of the solution.

Formula used :

$Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}$

where,

n= moles of solute

$Moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{0.049g}{95g/mol}=5.2\times 10^{-4}moles$

$V_s$ = volume of solution in ml = 100 ml

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

$Molarity=\frac{5.2\times 10^{-4}moles\times 1000}{100ml}=5.2\times 10^{-3}mole/L$

Therefore, the molarity of solution will be $5.2\times 10^{-3}mole/L$

$MgCl_2\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2Cl^-$

As 1 mole of $MgCl_2$ gives 2 moles of $Cl^-$

Thus $5.2\times 10^{-3}$ moles of $MgCl_2$ gives = $\frac{2}{1}\times 5.2\times 10^{-3}=0.0104$

Thus the molarity of $Cl^-$ anions in the chemist's solution is 0.0104 M

A tank of oxygen with a pressure of 23 atm is moved from room temperature of 293K to a storage freezer at 239K. What is the fina

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

18.76atm

Explanation:

Using the formula V1P1/T1 = V2P2/T2, from combined gas law. Volume is constant since we have not been given. Therefore the formula comes to be; P1/T1 = P2/T1

To get P2 = T2(P1/T1)

Where P2 is final pressure

P2 = 239K ( 23atm/293K)

=18.76atm

The percent composition of calcium is ?

DochEvi [55]

Answer: 40.1%

Explanation: The mass of calcium in this compound is equal to 40.1 grams because there's one atom of calcium present and calcium has an atomic mass of 40.1 . The molar mass of the compound is 100.1 grams. Using the handy equation above, we get: Mass percent = 40.1 g Ca⁄100.1 g CaCO3 × 100% = 40.1% Ca.
