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.

What is the difference between the 3p sublevel and the 4p sublevel?<br><br> On the periodic table

statuscvo [17]

The p sublevels are named 2p, 3p, and 4p since the p sublevel appears only starting the 2nd level. By the Aufbau principle, 3p will be filled first before 4p. This is because of the energy present on the level.

Each of the p sublevel has 3 orbitals, allowing them to contain 6 electrons as each orbital may hold two.

hat is the pressure of CO(g) in equilibrium with the CO2(g) and O2(g) in the atmosphere at 25 ????C? The partial pressure of O2(

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The partial pressure of CO is 5.54x10⁻⁴⁹atm. You shouldn't worry because it is very low pressure

Explanation:

First, the balanced reaction is:

CO + 1/2O₂ → CO₂

The energies of formation are:

ΔG(CO)=-137.168kJ/mol

ΔG(O₂)=0

ΔG(CO₂)=-394.359kJ/mol

The energy of the reaction is:

$delta-G_{reaction} =delta-G_{CO_{2} } -(delta-G_{CO} +1/2delta-G_{O_{2} } )\\delta-G_{reaction}=-394.359-(-137.168+0)=-257.191kJ/mol$

The expression for calculate the partial pressure of CO is:

$p_{CO} =\frac{p_{CO2} }{p_{O_{2} }^{1/2}*exp^{-\frac{delta-G}{RT} } } \\p_{CO}=\frac{3x10^{-4} }{0.2^{1/2}*exp(-\frac{-257.191*1000}{8.314*298} ) } \\p_{CO}=5.54x10^{-49} atm$
