Answer:

False

Explanation:

In a neutral atom, the number of protons is not necessarily equal to the number of neutrons.

In such atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom.
Electrons are the negatively charged particles in an atom.
Neutrons do not carry any charges.

When the number of protons and electrons are the same, a neutral atom is formed.

Answer:

Therefore, volume of CO₂ produced in the first step is 9141.404 L

Explanation:

Equations of reactions:

A: CaCO₃(s) ---> CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

B: CaO(l) + H₂O(l) ---> Ca(OH)₂(s)

Molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100 g; molar mass of CaO = 56 g; molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g molar mass of H₂P = 18 g; molar mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 74 g

From equation B, 1 mole of CaO produces 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂

This means that 56 g of CaO produces 74 g of Ca(OH)₂

mass of CaO that produces 8.47 kg or 8470 g of Ca(OH)₂ = 8470 g * 56/74 = 6409.73 g of CaO

Therefore, 6409.73 g of CaO were produced in reaction A

From reaction A, 1 mole of CaCO₃ produces 1 mole CaO and 1 mole of CO₂

Number of moles of CaO in 6409.73 g = 6409.73 g/56 g/mol = 114.46 moles

Therefore, 114.46 moles of CO₂ were produces as well.

Molar volume of gas at STP = 22.4 litres

Volume of CO₂ produced at STP = 114.46 * 22.4 L =2563.904 L

However, the above reaction took place at 950 K and 0.976 atm, therefore volume of CO₂ produced under these conditions are obtained using the general gas equation

Using P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

P₁ = 1.0 atm, V₁ = 2563.904 L, T₁ = 273 K, P₂ = 0.976 atm, T₂ = 950 K, V₂ = ?

V₂ = P₁V₁T₂/P₂T₁

V₂ = (1.0 * 2563.904 * 950)/(0.976 * 273)

V₂ = 9141.404 L

Therefore, volume of CO₂ produced in the first step is 9141.404 L

Butterflies are cold-blooded and need the light from the sun to warm the muscles they use to fly. Not only do butterflies like the sun, the plants the they thrive on need full direct sun. Most plants need at least 8 hours of sunlight to bloom properly and provide enough nectar.

In the so called rain shadow effect we have interaction between all of the four major Earth spheres. When we have a coastal region where there's a high mountain range, the part of the mountain that is facing the sea will differ a lot from the part of the mountain that is on the other side. The water from the sea evaporates. The water vapor makes the air wet. The warm and wet air masses from the sea will come to the coastline, once they reach the mountain they will start to accumulate as they can not pass through it. As they accumulate rainfall appears. The rainfall contributes to a lush vegetation on this side of the mountain (windward side). The rain shadow effect appears on the leeward side of the mountain, and it mostly gets dry, strong, downward winds. These conditions result in drier climate, much less vegetation, and much increased erosion. Thus we can easily see that we have in this case interaction between the hydrosphere (the sea and the rainfall), the geosphere (the ground, soil, rocks), biosphere (the vegetation), and atmosphere (the winds, the clouds).
