Snow and ice absorbs much of the Sun's radiant energyTrue or False?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Leona [35]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Snow and ice have high albedo – much of the sunlight hitting surfaces covered with snow and ice bounces back. ... Thus, the proportion of Earth's surface that is covered by ice and snow affects how much of the Sun's solar radiation is absorbed, warming the planet, or reflected.

Complete combustion of a 0.350 g sample of a compound in a bomb calorimeter releases 14.0 kJ of heat. The bomb calorimeter has a
dexar [7]

Answer:

Its final temperature is 25.8 °C

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

There is a direct proportional relationship between heat and temperature. The constant of proportionality depends on the substance that constitutes the body as on its mass, and is the product of the specific heat by the mass of the body. So, the equation that allows calculating heat exchanges is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation (ΔT=Tfinal-Tinitial)

When a body transmits heat there is another that receives it. This is the principle of the calorimeter. Then the heat released by the compound will be equal to the heat obtained by the calorimeter.

In this case, you know:

  • Q= 14 kJ= 14,000 J
  • c= 3.55  \frac{J}{g*C}
  • m=1.20 kg= 1200 g (1 kg=1000 g)
  • Tfinal= ?
  • Tinitial= 22.5 °C

Replacing:

14,000 J= 3.55 \frac{J}{g*C}*1200 g*(Tfinal-22.5C)

Solving:

\frac{14,000J}{3.55\frac{J}{g*C} *1200 g} =T final - 22.5C

3.3=Tfinal - 22.5 C

3.3 + 22.5=Tfinal

Tfinal= 25.8 °C

<u><em>Its final temperature is 25.8 °C</em></u>

What type of elements are generally involved in covalent bonding?
Roman55 [17]
<span>In organic chemistry, covalent bonding is most often associated with carbon compounds, which are known as organic chemicals. Hydrogen is also involved most of the time, as well as oxygen. Other elements can also be involved, but less frequently.</span>

Equations can be balanced by using the half-reaction method. Which step should be completed immediately after finding the oxidat
Dovator [93]
After finding the oxidation states of atoms, you identify the half reactions (option c).

The half reactions are given by the change of the oxidation states of the atoms.

For example if Cu is in the left side with oxidation state 0 and in the other side with oxidation state 2+, then there you have a half reaction (oxidation reaction). And if you have O with oxidation state 0 in the left side  and with oxidation state 2- in the right side, there you have other half reaction (reducing reaction).
