Answer: atomic mass

Explanation:

Mass Number. The mass number (A) of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. The mass of the atom is a unit called the atomic mass unit (amu).

Why do the carbon anodes need to be replaced regularly in the electrolysis of Al2O3 into aluminum metal?
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

A) They get oxidized into carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide by the oxygen molecules generated on the electrode.

Explanation:

In the electrolysis of Aluminium, the oxygen reacts with the carbon anodes forming carbon dioxide. That is, the anodes are oxidized. To ensure that the reaction completes, the anode must gradually be replaced as the reaction proceeds. The correct option is hence;

A) They get oxidized into carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide by the oxygen molecules generated on the electrode.

Place the following compounds in order of increasing strength of intermolecular forces. HF H2 CH3Cl
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

H2 < CH3Cl < HF

Explanation:

The intermolecular forces are the forces that bond the molecules together in a substance. There are three types of these forces:

  1. Dipole induced -dipole induced, or London dispersion -> Is the weakest and is presented in nonpolar molecules, in which a dipole is induced and so the molecules are joined together;
  2. Dipole-dipole -> Is stronger than the London dispersion and occurs in a polar molecule. In this case, the dipole already exists (partial positive and negative charges), so the poles are attracted;
  3. Hydrogen bond -> It's the strongest and is formed when the hydrogen is bonded with a higher electronegativity element (F, O, and N).

So, the molecule of H2 is linear and formed by the same element, so, is nonpolar, and has London dispersion forces. The molecule of CH3Cl has 3 nonpolar bonds (C-H), and one polar bond (C-Cl), so it's polar and has dipole-dipole forces. And the HF molecule has hydrogen bonds.

*A polar bond is a bond formed by elements with different electronegativities.

Tanzania [10]

Part 1;

The answer is; Carbon dioxide. Approximately 0.8% of the atmosphere is composed of carbon dioxide. It is in the gaseous phase.


Part 2;

The answer is; Combustion. Human activity of burning fossil fuels increases the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This has a secondary consequence of warming up the planet because carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas.


Part 3:

Carbon is conserved in the cycles mostly in plants. Plants take up carbon dioxide in photosynthesis and make organic compounds (carbohydrates). Therefore first acts as carbon sinks. Even the fossils fuels that we burn come from plankton that is major carbon sinks too.


Part 4;

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is created by several processes including combustion and respiration. All living things respire out carbon dioxide. Plants take up this carbon dioxide and sequester it. When animals feed on plants they release part of this carbon back to the atmosphere through respiration
