Marina CMI [18]2 years ago

Answer:

A drought poses a huge threat to all life. If a drought occurred the entire food chain would disintegrate within months. There would be no water for any animals or plants. Small mammals would not be able to eat plants, and reptiles would not be able to the small animals, and so on. A drought can destroy an ecosystem in a short amount of time.

Water is only being moved into the air through water vapor, so the air will become hotter than water. Land is also not moving in the atmosphere and absorbing heat like air is, so air will also be hotter than land, depending on what the land is made of.

Through precipitation, water in the atmosphere can return to the hydrosphere or percolate into the ground to become groundwater—part of the geosphere. ... Water in the biosphere can be released into the atmosphere through transpiration in plants, or respiration in animals.

Answer:

There would be no water for animals and plants, so life would die out.

How many grams of Na2So4 would be formed if 0.75 moles of NaOH reacted?
Nata [24]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{53 g }}

Explanation:

You don't give the reaction, but we can get by just by balancing atoms of Na.

We know we will need the partially balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses, so let’s gather all the information in one place.

M_r:                                 142.04  

             2NaOH + … ⟶ Na₂SO₄ + …  

n/mol:      0.75

1. Use the molar ratio of Na₂SO₄ to NaOH to calculate the moles of NaF.

Moles of Na₂SO₄ = 0.75 mol NaOH × (1 mol Na₂SO₄/2 mol NaOH

= 0.375 mol Na₂SO₄

2. Use the molar mass of Na₂SO₄ to calculate the mass of Na₂SO₄.

Mass of Na₂SO₄ = 0.375 mol Na₂SO₄ × (142.04 g Na₂SO₄/1 mol Na₂SO₄) = 53 g Na₂SO₄

The reaction produces \boxed{\text{53 g }} of Na₂SO₄.

When you burned copper, the product copper oxide appeared on the wire. Besides copper, the other reactant is oxygen, O2 . Explai
NISA [10]

Copper oxide is the only product, and it contains copper and oxygen.

one of the reactants is copper, so the other reactant must be oxygen.

The copper metal must have combined with something in the air.

Using the van der Waals equation, determine the pressure exerted by 4.30 mol Ar in 3.6 L at 325K.
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

37.7 atm

Explanation:

Using the relation;

(P + an^2/V^2) (V - nb) = nRT

(P + an^2/V^2) = nRT/(V - nb)

a = 0.0341 atm dm^2 Mol^2

b = 0.0237 dm/mol

P = nRT/(V - nb) - an^2/V^2

P = [4.3 * 0.082 * 325 / (3.6 - (4.3 * 0.0237))] - (0.0341 * (4.3^2))/(3.6^2)

P = 114.595/(3.498) - 0.0487

P = 37.7 atm

Answer:

D. Protons ; neutrons.

Explanation:

For a given element the number of protons is fixed, but the number of neutrons differ because the element usually consist of a number of isotopes.

For example Carbon has isotopes which contain 12, 13 and 14 neutrons.

So that is why you average the number of neutrons to find the approximate atomic mass..
