Answer:

has Two oxygen atoms

Explanation:

Oxygen is a diatomic element hence exists as O2 for majority of its existence in our atmosphere. Although small portion does exist in form of O3 which protects earth from sun's harmful ray, the majority portion of oxygen has O2 which is the oxygen we breathe.

The formation of iodine is described by the following chemical equation:

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

N2O2(g) +O2(g) ===> 2NO2(g)

Explanation:

For a nonelementary reaction, the reaction equation is described as the sum of all the steps involved. All these steps constitute the reaction mechanism. Each step in the mechanism is an elementary reaction. The rate law of the overall reaction involves the rate determining step (slowest step) in the reaction sequence.

Now look at the overall reaction 2NO(g) + O2(g) ---------> 2NO2(g)

The two steps in the mechanism are

2NO(g) --------->N2O2(g) (fast)

N2O2(g) +O2(g) -------> 2NO2(g) (slow)

Summing all the steps and cancelling out the intermediate N2O2(g), we obtain the reaction equation;

2NO(g) + O2(g) ---------> 2NO2(g)

Hence the answer.

Which two of Earth's spheres interact when the rainfall in a region increases after a volcanic eruption?

motikmotik

Answer:

Geosphere and hydrosphere is the correct answer to the given question .

Explanation:

The Volcanic eruption substances alter ecosystems and create pollutants and gasses in the environment as well as in the waters.The Volcanic eruption is effected the climate as well as the weather of the environment system .The volcanic eruption is simply effected the rainfall of the climate environment.

The Geosphere and hydrosphere communicate when the amount of rain rises in the region of the following a volcanic eruption.
All the other option are incorrect because these layer is not involved in the rising in the region of the volcanic eruption.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Given] 2.16 moles SO₂

[Solve] grams (mass) SO₂

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[PT] Molar Mass of S - 32.07 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of SO₂ - 32.07 + 2(16.00) = 64.07 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 2.16 \ mol \ SO_2(\frac{64.07 \ g \ SO_2}{1 \ mol \ SO_2})$
[DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 138.391 \ g \ SO_2$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

138.391 g SO₂ ≈ 138 g SO₂
