Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the article found on the Scientific American website.

Explanation:

<em>Remember,</em> according to that article we are told that scientists notice that these insects have a long nymphal (immature form before becoming adults) stage, one that can last up to 13 to 17 years on the ground before they leave the ground looking for mating partners.

Because it is only after mating occurs at this point that their eggs are laid, that is why scientists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years.

Which aqueous solution has the highest boiling point at standard pressure?(1) 1.0 M KC1(aq) (3) 2.0 M KCl(aq)(2) 1.0 M CaC12(aq)
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

(4) 2.0 M CaCl₂(aq).

Explanation:

  • Adding solute to water elevates the boiling point.
  • The elevation in boiling point (ΔTb) can be calculated using the relation:

<em>ΔTb = i.Kb.m,</em>

where, ΔTb is the elevation in boiling point.

i is the van 't Hoff factor.

  • van 't Hoff factor is the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass. For most non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is essentially 1.

Kb is the molal elevation constant of water.

m is the molality of the solution.

<u><em>(1) 1.0 M KCl(aq):</em></u>

i for KCl = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 2/1 = 2.

suppose molarity = molality, m = 1.0 m,

∴ ΔTb for (1.0 M KCl) = i.Kb.m = (2)(Kb)(1.0 m) = 2(Kb).

<u><em>(2) 2.0 M KCl(aq):</em></u>

i for KCl = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 2/1 = 2.

suppose molarity = molality, m = 2.0 m,

∴ ΔTb for (1.0 M KCl) = i.Kb.m = (2)(Kb)(2.0 m) = 4(Kb).

<u><em>(3) 1.0 M CaCl₂(aq):</em></u>

i for CaCl₂ = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 3/1 = 3.

suppose molarity = molality, m = 1.0 m,

∴ ΔTb for (1.0 M KCl) = i.Kb.m = (3)(Kb)(1.0 m) = 3(Kb).

<u><em>(4) 2.0 M CaCl₂(aq):</em></u>

i for CaCl₂ = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 3/1 = 3.

suppose molarity = molality, m = 2.0 m,

∴ ΔTb for (1.0 M KCl) = i.Kb.m = (3)(Kb)(2.0 m) = 6(Kb).

  • <em>So, the aqueous solution has the highest boiling point at standard pressure is: (4) 2.0 M CaCl₂(aq).</em>

Coal, which is primarily carbon, can be converted to natural gas, primarily CH4, by the following exothermic reaction: C(s)+2H2(
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

A. The reaction will proceed forward forming more CH4

B. The reaction will proceed forward forming more CH4

C. Since the reaction is exothermic, raising the temperature will cause the reaction to proceed backward, thus forming C and H2.

D. Lowering the volume makes the gas particles to be more close together thereby enhancing their collisions leading to reaction. Therefore the reaction will proceed forward forming more CH4

E. Catalyst only reduce the activation energy so the reaction can proceed faster. The reaction will proceed forward forming.

F. The following will favour CH4 at equilibrium

i. Catalyst to the reaction mixture,

ii. Both adding more H2 to the reaction mixture and lowering the volume of the reaction mixture

iii. Adding more C to the reaction mixture.

25) If an object’s density is greater than 1.00 g/mL, it will ______________ in water.
NeTakaya

Answer:

1- Option A = Sink

2- Option B = Float

Explanation:

1- If an object’s density is greater than 1.00 g/mL, it will sink in water.

For example, the density of aluminum is 2.7g/cm³. That is why it will sink in water.

2- If an object’s density is less than 1.00 g/mL, it will float in water.

For example, the density of oak is 0.7 g/cm³. That is why oak will float in water.

3-  Given data:

Mass, m = 50 g  

Volume, v = 10 cm3 ( 1ml = 1cm3)

Formula of density :          

Density = mass/ volume

          d = m/v

          d = 50g/10cm3

          d = 5 g/cm3
