koban [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Without the sun's energy, biological life would not be able to exist to decompose. Many microbes and fungi do their best work out of direct sunlight.

If two separate containers A and B have the same volume and temperature, but container A has more gaseous molecules than B, then
topjm [15]

Answer:

Higher pressure, is the right answer.

Explanation:

The A will have a higher pressure. Since we have given the volume and temperature is same in both containers A and B. Below is the calculation for proof that shows which container has the higher pressure while keeping the volume and temperature the same.  

So, \ V_A = V_B \\\frac{n_A T_A}{P_A} = \frac{n_B T_B}{P_B} \\Here, \ T_A = T_B \\P_A = \frac{n_A}{n_B} \times P_B \\\frac{n_A}{n_B} > 1 \\\frac{P_A}{P_B} > 1 \\P_A > P_B \\

Therefore, the container “A” will have higher pressure.

Measurements show that the enthalpy of a mixture of gaseous reactants decreases by 162. kJ during a certain chemical reaction, w
puteri [66]

Answer:

= -356KJ

<em>therefore, the reaction where heat is released is exothermic reaction since theΔH is negative</em>

Explanation:

given that enthalpy of gaseous reactants decreases by 162KJ and workdone is -194KJ

then,

change in enthalpy (ΔH) = -162( released energy)

work(w) = -194KJ

change in enthalpy is said to be negative if the heat is evolved during the reaction while heat change(ΔH) is said to be positive if the heat required for the reaction occurs.

At constant pressure the change in enthalpy is given as

ΔH = ΔU + PΔV

ΔU = change in energy

ΔV = change in volume

P = pressure

w =  -pΔV

therefore,

ΔH = ΔU -W

to evaluate  energy change we have,

ΔU =ΔH + W

ΔU = -162+ (-194KJ)

= -356KJ

<em>therefore, the reaction where heat is released is exothermic reaction since theΔH is negative</em>

A hypothetical element x has 3 naturally occurring isotopes: 41.20% of 21x, with an atomic weight of 21.016 amu, 50.12% of 22x,
iogann1982 [59]
The average atomic weight is calculated by adding up the products of the percentage abundance and atomic weight. In this item, we have the equation,

     A = (0.412)(21.016 amu) + (0.5012)(21.942 amu) + (0.0868)(23.974 amu)

Simplifying the operation will give us the answer of 21.74 amu.

<em>Answer: 21.74 amu</em>

Hydrogen bonds can be found between molecules of which of the following
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The presence of hydrogen bonding between molecules of a substance indicates that the molecules are polar. This means the molecules will be soluble in a polar solvent such as water. Some examples of polar molecules which can hydrogen bond are ammonia ( NH3 ) and methanol ( CH3OH ).

I think the answer should be C
