What do elements and atoms have in common

Man's scientific theories are often in correct because his knowledge is

Alik [6]

Answer:

Incomplete

Explanation:

I wouldn't say that a scientific theory is wrong.

It is the best we have at the time, based on all available knowledge .

As each new discovery is made, scientists modify the theory to fit the new knowledge.

The scientific method is a never-ending process.

why does ocean water found near the poles often have a higher leaves of salinity than ocean water found near the equator

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Water near the poles often have higher salinity because Cold polar air cools the water and lowers its temperature, increasing its salinity. Fresh water freezes out of seawater to become sea ice, which also increases the salinity of the remaining water.

Give the direction of the reaction, if K >> 1. Give the direction of the reaction, if K >> 1. The forward reaction i

anygoal [31]

Answer:

A. for K>>1 you can say that the reaction is nearly irreversible so the forward direction is favored. (Products formation)

B. When the temperature rises the equilibrium is going to change but to know how is going to change you have to take into account the kind of reaction. For endothermic reactions (the reverse reaction is favored) and for exothermic reactions (the forward reaction is favored)

Explanation:

A. The equilibrium constant K is defined as

$K=\frac{Products}{reagents}$

In any case

aA +Bb equilibrium Cd +dD

where K is:

$K= \frac{[C]^{c}[D]^{d}}{[A]^{a}[B]^{b}}$

[] is molar concentration.

If K>>> 1 it means that the molar concentration of products is a lot bigger that the molar concentration of reagents, so the forward reaction is favored.

B. The relation between K and temperature is given by the Van't Hoff equation

$ln(\frac{K_{1}}{K_{2}})=\frac{-delta H^{o}}{R}*(\frac{1}{T_{1}}-\frac{1}{T_{2}})$

Where: H is reaction enthalpy, R is the gas constant and T temperature.

Clearing the equation for $K_{2}$ we get:

$K_{2}=\frac{K_{1}}{e^{\frac{-deltaH^{o}}{R}*(\frac{1}{T_{1}} -\frac{1}{T_{2}})}}$

Here we can study two cases: when delta $H^{o}$ is positive (exothermic reactions) and when is negative (endothermic reactions)

For exothermic reactions when we increase the temperature the denominator in the equation would have a negative exponent so $K_{2}$ is greater that $K_{1}$ and the forward reaction is favored.

When we have an endothermic reaction we will have a positive exponent so $K_{2}$ will be less than $K_{1}$ the forward reactions is not favored.

${e^{\frac{-deltaH^{o}}{R}*(\frac{1}{T_{1}} -\frac{1}{T_{2}})}}$

How many moles of steam are produced when 5.74 moles of octane (C3H18) react?

jonny [76]

Answer:

51.66 mol H2O (steam)

Explanation:

5.74 mol C3H18 x 18 mol H2O/ 2 mol C3H18 = 51.66 mol H2O (steam)

As you were climbing a a mountain, you noticed that rocks were crumbling below your feet and moving down the mountain. What two

Flauer [41]

Answer:

Weathering and erosion

Explanation:

Weathering can be explained as the breaking down of rocks/minerals on the surface of the Earth as a result of contact with biological organism, water, air and other factors

. There are 3 common types of weathering which are;

1) physical weathering

2) biological weathering

3) chemical weathering

Erosion can be regarded as a geological process, whereby earthen material are been transported away by natural forces, these forces could be wind as well as water.

Therefore, as you were climbing a a mountain, you noticed that rocks were crumbling below your feet and moving down the mountain. What is observed are weathering and erosion processes.

After the weakening and broken up of the rock by weathering then erosion transport the bit of the rock down the mountain as you are climbing, which means the "weathering process" breakdown and the "erosion process" involves the transport or movement of the bit of the rocks
