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.

fills a 500.mL flask with 3.6atm of carbon monoxide gas and 1.2atm of water vapor. When the mixture has come to equilibrium she
enot [183]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The pressure of carbon dioxide after equilibrium is reached the second time is 0.27 atm rounded to 2 significant digits

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that the mole ratio of the constituent is proportional to their partial pressure

At the first trial the mixture contains

3.6 atm CO

1.2 atm H₂O (g)

Total pressure = 3.6+1.2= 4.8 atm

which gives

3.36 atm CO

0.96 atm H₂O (g)

0.24 atm H₂ (g)

That is

CO+H₂O→CO(g)+H₂ (g)

therefore the mixture contained

0.24 atm CO₂ and the total pressure =

3.36+0.96+0.24+0.24 = 4.8 atm

when an extra 1.8 atm of CO is added we get Increase in the mole fraction of CO we have one mole of CO produces one mole of H₂

At equilibrium we have 0.24*0.24/(3.36*0.96) = 0.017857

adding 1.8 atm CO gives 4.46 atm hence we have

 (0.24+x)(0.24+x)/(4.46-x)(0.96-x) = 0.017857

which gives x = 0.031 atm or x = -0.6183 atm

Dealing with only the positive values we have the pressure of carbon dioxide = 0.24+0.03 = 0.27 atm

Virty [35]

Answer:

1.07 g Ba

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the definition of the Avogadro's number and the molar mass, it is possible to say that 6.022x10^{23} atoms of barium equal one mole, and at the same time, 1 mole equals 137.327 grams of this element; thus, it is possible to say that 6.022x10^{23} atoms of barium have a mass of 137.327 grams; therefore, it i possible for us to calculate the required mass in grams as shown below:

4.69x10^{21}atoms*\frac{137.327gBa}{6.022x10^{23} atoms} \\\\=1.07gBa

Best regards!

A tank of gas is found to exert 8.6 atm at 38°C. What would be the required
Vesna [10]

Answer:

36.2 K

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Initial pressure of the gas (P₁): 8.6 atm
  • Initial temperature of the gas (T₁): 38°C
  • Final pressure of the gas (P₂): 1.0 atm (standard pressure)
  • Final temperature of the gas (T₂): ?

Step 2: Convert T₁ to Kelvin

We will use the following expression.

K = °C +273.15

K = 38 °C +273.15 = 311 K

Step 3: Calculate T₂

We will use Gay Lussac's law.

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

T₂ = P₂ × T₁/P₁

T₂ = 1.0 atm × 311 K/8.6 atm = 36.2 K
