Answer:

Freshwater is such a limited resource because there is such a little amount of freshwater found on Earth. About 77% of fresh water on Earth is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. Because of this, there is very little fresh water available for humans to use.

Explanation: Hope this helps.

What will happen if the concentration of water inside a cell is higher than the concentration of water outside a cell?

Olegator [25]

If the concentration of water inside a cell is higher than the concentration of water outside a cell, osmosis will take place, as water will move from an area of low solute concentration inside the cell to higher solute concentration, outside the cell.

How many atoms are in 1.15 mole Cu?

xxMikexx [17]

6.022x10^23 is Avogadro’s number. Use this whenever you work with Stoichiometry involving Atoms, formula units, or molecules. 1 mol of anything is always Avogadro’s number.

Multiply everything on the top= 6.93 x 10^23
Divide by everything on the bottom = 6.93 x 10^23
Answer: 6.93 x 10^23 atoms Cu.

The combustion of acetylene gas is represented by this equation: 2C2H2(g) + 5O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Approximately $2.46\; \rm mol$ .

Explanation:

Make use of the molar mass data ( $M({\rm C_2H_2}) = 26.04\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ ) to calculate the number of moles of molecules in that $64.0\; \rm g$ of $\rm C_2H_2$ :

$\begin{aligned}n({\rm C_2H_2}) &= \frac{m({\rm C_2H_2})}{M} \\ &= \frac{64.0\; \rm g}{26.04\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}}\approx 2.46\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

Make sure that the equation for this reaction is balanced.

Coefficient of $\rm C_2H_2$ in this equation: $2$ .

Coefficient of $\rm H_2O$ in this equation: $2$ .

In other words, for every two moles of $\rm C_2H_2$ that this reaction consumes, two moles of $\rm H_2O$ would be produced.

Equivalently, for every mole of $\rm C_2H_2$ that this reaction consumes, one mole of $\rm H_2O$ would be produced.

Hence the ratio: $\displaystyle \frac{n({\rm H_2O})}{n({\rm C_2H_2})} = \frac{2}{2} = 1$ .

Apply this ratio to find the number of moles of $\rm H_2O$ that this reaction would have produced:

$\begin{aligned}n({\rm H_2O}) &= n({\rm C_2H_2}) \cdot \frac{n({\rm H_2O})}{n({\rm C_2H_2})} \\ &\approx 2.46\; \rm mol \times 1 = 2.46\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .
