Answer:

The ocean currents are too strong by the Amazon River to form deltas.

Explanation:

The Atlantic has sufficient wave and tidal energy to carry most of the Amazon's sediments out to sea, thus the Amazon does not form a true delta. The great deltas of the world are all in relatively protected bodies of water, while the Amazon empties directly into the turbulent Atlantic.

The pH of a solution can be calculated using which formula?

VikaD [51]

Answer:

The formula for calculating pH is pH=−log[H_3O+ ]

pH is the negative logarithm (to base 10) of hydronium ion concentration

The pH Formula can also be expressed as

PH= - log[H+ ]

A 0.1326 g sample of magnesium was burned in an oxygen bomb calorimeter. the total heat capacity of the calorimeter plus water w

Sladkaya [172]

Answer: Th enthalpy of combustion for the given reaction is 594.244 kJ/mol

Explanation: Enthalpy of combustion is defined as the decomposition of a substance in the presence of oxygen gas.

W are given a chemical reaction:

$Mg(s)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow MgO(s)$

$c=5760J/^oC$

$\Delta T=0.570^oC$

To calculate the enthalpy change, we use the formula:

$\Delta H=c\Delta T\\\\\Delta H=5760J/^oC\times 0.570^oC=3283.2J$

This is the amount of energy released when 0.1326 grams of sample was burned.

So, energy released when 1 gram of sample was burned is = $\frac{3283.2J}{0.1326g}=24760.181J/g$

Energy 1 mole of magnesium is being combusted, so to calculate the energy released when 1 mole of magnesium ( that is 24 g/mol of magnesium) is being combusted will be:

$\Delta H=24760.181J/g\times 24g/mol\\\\\Delta H=594244.3J/mol\\\\\Delta H=594.244kJ/mol$

A mixture contains NaHCO3 together with unreactive components. A 1.75 g sample of the mixture reacts with HA to produce 0.561 g

Lynna [10]

Answer:

$\%NaHCO_3=61.2\%$

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the undergoing chemical reaction is only between the sodium bicarbonate and the acid HA:

$NaHCO_3+HA\rightarrow NaA+H_2O+CO_2$

For 0.561 g of yielded carbon dioxide (molar mass 44 g/mol), the following mass of sodium bicarbonate (molar mass 84 g/mol) that reacted was:

$m_{NaHCO_3}=0.561gCO_2*\frac{1molCO_2}{44gCO_2} *\frac{1molNaHCO_3}{1molCO_2} *\frac{84gNaHCO_3}{1molNaHCO_3} \\\\m_{NaHCO_3}=1.071g$

Considering the 1:1 mole ratio between CO2 and NaHCO3. Finally, the percent by mass of NaHCO3 is computed by dividing the mass of reacted NaHCO3 and t the mixture:

$\%NaHCO_3=\frac{1.071g}{1.75g}*100\%\\ \\\%NaHCO_3=61.2\%$

Best regards.

What is the difference between a mixture and compound?

rewona [7]

Compound: a thing that is composed of two or more separate elements, basically it is a mixture

Mixture: a substance made by mixing other substances together

so go from there. I don't want to cheat by giving answers, so I hope this is guiding and helpful. please mark brainliest if it is!
