Its carbon

Explain:

Carbon is an essential element for life on Earth and parts of each of the cells in our bodies are made from it. The carbon cycle shows how atoms of this element can exist within different compounds at different times.

All cells - whether animal, plant or bacteria - contain carbon, because they all contain proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Plant cell walls, for example, are made of cellulose - a carbohydrate.

Carbon is passed from the atmosphere, as carbon dioxide, to living things, passed from one organism to the next in complex molecules, and returned to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide again. This is known as the carbon cycle.

Calculate the final Celsius temperature when 634 L at 21 °C is compressed to 307 L.
Illusion [34]

Answer:

- 130.64°C.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas:<em> PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n and P are constant, and have two different values of V and T:

<em>V₁T₂ = V₂T₁</em>

<em></em>

V₁ = 634.0 L, T₁ = 21.0°C + 273 = 294.0 K.

V₂ = 307.0 L, T₂ = ??? K.

<em>∴ T₂ = V₂T₁/V₁ </em>= (307.0 L)(294.0 K)/(634.0 L) = <em>142.36 K.</em>

<em>∴ T₂(°C) = 142.36 K - 273 = - 130.64°C.</em>

What methods were used to clean up the Chernobyl and three mile island accidents?
Assoli18 [71]

<u>Answer</u>:

Electric evaporator has been used to clean up the Chernobyl and 3 mile island accident.

<u>Explanation</u>:

About 14 years back, there was a puff of radioactive steam from the evaporator used in the "Three-mile island" nuclear plant. It took two years for the electric evaporator to clean up the 2.2 million gallons of water that have been destroyed because of the nuclear power plant accident.

The steam that came out of the electric evaporator carried a radioactive form of hydrogen and tritium with itself. Cost of clean up was $1 billion.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Methanol and butanol are alcohols. Alcohols have the same_______________ as alkanes and the __________ identifies the compound as an alcohol.

Explanation:

Alcohols belong to a group of organic compounds which contain -OH group as the functional group.

So alcohols have the same carbon -hydrogen bonds as alkanes and the        -OH functional group identifies the compound as an alcohol.

How could you verify that you produced carbon dioxide in your combustion reaction? 2. what indication did you have that nh3 was
DanielleElmas [232]

1) Carbon dioxide is a gas, so when CO_{2} is evolved in the reaction, it appears as bubbles. The gas released extinguishes the fire and it can turn lime water milky.

Ca(OH)_{2} (aq) + CO_{2}(g) ----> CaCO_{3}(s) +H_{2}O(l)

2) When NH_{3} is released in a decomposition reaction we can identify by the strong pungent smell of the gas released.

3) Saturated citric acid can cause corrosion of the metal layers present in the pipes. So, before draining out any acid it is neutralized so that the pipes and other plumbing works do not get damaged leading to leaks in the drainage system.
