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.

In an isolated system:
ipn [44]

Answer:

isolated system (plural isolated systems) (physics) A system that does not interact with its surroundings. Depending on context this may mean that its total energy and/or momentum stay constant.

Explanation:

An isolated system is a thermodynamic system that cannot exchange either energy or matter outside the boundaries of the system. ... The system may be enclosed such that neither energy nor mass may enter or exit.

If you mix a 25.0mL sample of a 1.20m potassium sulfide solution with 15.0 mL of a 0.900m basium nitrate solution and the reacti
ddd [48]

Answer:

Limiting reagent: barium nitrate

Theoretical yield: 2.29 g BaS

Percent yield: 87%

Explanation:

The corrected balanced reaction equation is:

K₂S + Ba(NO₃)₂ ⇒ 2KNO₃ + BaS

The amount of potassium sulfide added is:

(25.0 mL)(1.20mol/L) = 30 mmol

The amount of barium nitrate added is:

(15.0mL)(0.900mol/L = 13.5 mmol

Since the reactant react in a 1:1 molar ratio, barium nitrate is the limiting reagent. If all of the limiting reagent reacts, the amount of barium sulfide produced is:

(13.5 mmol Ba(NO₃)₂)(BaS/Ba(NO₃)₂ ) = 13.5 mmol BaS

Converting this amount to grams gives the theoretical yield of BaS (molar mass 169.39 g/mol).

(13.5 mmol)(169.39 g/mol)(1g/1000mg) = 2.29 g BaS

The percent yield is calculated as follows:

(actual yield) / (theoretical yield) x 100%

(2.0 g) / (2.29 g) x 100% = 87%

A 1.00 liter solution contains 0.24 M hypochlorous acid and 0.31 M sodium hypochlorite. If 0.160 moles of potassium hydroxide ar
ryzh [129]

Explanation:

When OH- (as in potassium hydroxide) is added, it reacts with the acid (HOCl) to reduce the amount of HOCl and increase the concentration of  sodium hypochlorite.

Potassium hydroxide will react with the hypochlorous acid to produce hypochlorite ions. In the process, some of the weak acid will be consumed, along with the added strong base.

This occurs as follows:

HClO(aq) + KOH(aq) → KClO(aq) + H2O(l)  

since water is formed, this maintains the pH.  Thus ...

A. The number of moles of HClO will decrease. - TRUE

B. The number of moles of ClO- will increase. - TRUE

C. The equilibrium concentration of H3O+ will remain the same. - TRUE

D. The pH will decrease. - FALSE

E. The ratio of [HClO] / [ClO-] will decrease. -TRUE. It will decrease as HClO goes down and ClO- goes up.

What are the reactants in the reaction? What are their properties? Perform a quick Internet search, if needed.
Helen [10]

The reactants in this reaction are sodium and chlorine. Sodium is a soft, silvery-white metal that is highly reactive. Chlorine is a poisonous greenish-yellow gas that has an odor and combines readily with other elements.

This might be the exact question so you might wanna rephrase it but good luck! :)))

The number of atoms in 2 moles of aluminium is if the 1mole is 6.022*10 the power of 23 or 10^23
patriot [66]

Answer:

1.204 × 10²⁴ atoms

Explanation:

According to this question, one mole of aluminum (Al) atom contains 6.02 × 10²³ atoms.

If two moles of aluminum are given, this means that there will be 2 × 6.02 × 10²³ atoms of aluminum

2 × 6.02 × 10²3

= 12.04 × 10²³

= 1.204 × 10²⁴ atoms.
