Answer:

Explanation:

Earth's axis is an imaginary pole going right through the center of Earth from "top" to "bottom." Earth spins around this pole, making one complete turn each day. That is why we have day and night, and why every part of Earth's surface gets some of each. Earth has seasons because its axis doesn't stand up straight.

Earth's axis is not perpendicular. It has an axial tilt or obliquity. Axial tilt is the angle between the planet's rotational axis and its orbital axis. A planet's orbital axis is perpendicular to the ecliptic or orbital plane, the thin disk surrounding the sun and extending to the edge of the solar system.

The earth's spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons. When the earth's axis points towards the sun, it is summer for that hemisphere. When the earth's axis points away, winter can be expected.

Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Earths axis is tilted and also depends on the tilt according to the seasons. Earths axis is an imaginary line that isn’t visible, as seasons change you see changes in climate like summers are very hot and winters are cold, it’s all related to earths axis as in one part of the world is day while the other night some parts maybe evening (depends on the time), some parts winter some summer- sorry if I made it complicated but hope this gives u an idea, the other guy deserves brainliest tho

In the preparation of a certain alkyl halide, 10 g of sodium bromide (NaBr), 10 mL distilled water (H20), and 9 mL 3-methyl-1-bu

Novosadov [1.4K]

Percentage yield shows the amount of reactants converted into products. The percentage yield of the reaction is 51.7%.

The equation of the reaction is sown in the image attached. The reaction is 1:1 as we can see.

Number of moles of NaBr = 10 g/103 g/mol = 0.097 moles

We can obtain the mass of 3-methyl-1-butanol from its density.

Mass = density × volume

Density of 3-methyl-1-butanol = 0.810 g/mL

Volume of 3-methyl-1-butanol = 9 mL

Mass of 3-methyl-1-butanol = 0.810 g/mL × 9 mL

Mass of 3-methyl-1-butanol = 7.29 g

Number of moles of 3-methyl-1-butanol = mass/molar mass = 7.29 g/88 g/mol = 0.083 moles

Since the reaction is 1:1 then the limiting reagent is 3-methyl-1-butanol

Mass of product 1-bromo-3-methylbutane = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of 1-bromo-3-methylbutane = 151 g/mol

Mass of product 1-bromo-3-methylbutane = 0.083 moles × 151 g/mol

= 12.53 g

Recall that % yield = actual yield/theoretical yield × 100

Actual yield of product = 6.48 g

Theoretical yield = 12.53 g

% yield = 6.48 g/12.53 g × 100

% yield = 51.7%

Assuming constant pressure, rank these reactions from most energy released by the system to most energy absorbed by the system,

givi [52]

Answer: The order from the Most energy released to most Energy Absorbed Is given as 2---> 4--->,3-->---> 1

B)-61.9 kJ

Explanation:

The change in the internal energy of a system is positive if the reaction absorbs energy and negative if the reaction releases energy. For a system to cause an increase in volume, it must have very high energy built up to be released.

1. Surroundings get colder and the system decreases in volume. Here, the surrounding absorbs energy resulting in positive ΔE

2. Surroundings get hotter and the system expands in volume. Here energy is released causing the system to be negative

3. Surroundings get hotter and the system decreases in volume. Although there is a decreased volume, the system is negative because it releases energy

4. Surroundings get hotter and the system does not change in volume. System is negative because it releases energy even thgoygh there is no change in volume

Therefore the order from the Most energy released to most Energy Absorbed Is given as 2---> 4--->,3-->---> 1

b) Using

ΔE = q+ w from 1st law of thermodynamics

ΔE= ΔH - P ΔV

gIven

ΔH = -75.0KJ

volume= A change from 5.0L TO 2.0L = Final volume - initial volume = 2-5= -3.00L

P= 43.0atm

ΔE= ΔH - P ΔV

P ΔV = 43 atm x -3 = -129L.atm

We first convert L-atm to Joules.

1 L-atm = 101.325 Joules.

129L.atm = 129 x 101.325 = - 13071 J

to KJ becomes

13071/1000 = - 13.071KJ

Recall ΔE= ΔH - P ΔV and putting values

ΔE = -75.0 - (-13.071 KJ)= -75.0 kJ + 13.071 kJ = -61.9 kJ

What is one way to test whether an unknown solution is acidic or basic?

sertanlavr [38]

Answer: There are several ways. The first that comes to mind is a pH meter. A pH electrode Is lowered into the solution, and (Assuming) the pH Meter has been properly calibrated, and the temperature of the solution is set to the calibration of the Meter, the pH can be read directly from an analogue scale or digital readout. Below 7 is acidic, 7 is Neutral, (like Pure Water), and over 7 is Alkaline, or Basic.

A useful, but less accurate method is the use of any number of “pH Indicator Solutions”, which are essentially a type of various colored dyes that change color within differing pH ranges. Usually, if the pH is unknown, a small amount of solution is removed from the container and tested separately - in a “well plate”, or similar method.

These types of dyes, or Indicator Solutions, can be dried upon strips of “pH indicator Paper”, which, depending upon the type can be very useful when carrying out more precisely arrived at pH tests like Titration.

Just to see if a solution is “Acid” or “Base”, Litmus paper is used; “a Red color shows Acidity, and a Blue color, a Base”; ergo, “An Acid Solution will turn Litmus Paper, Red”.

How many liters of space will 7.80 moles of methane gas (CH4) occupy at STP

Alchen [17]

Answer:

V CH4(g) = 190.6 L

Explanation:

assuming ideal gas:

PV = RTn

∴ STP: T =298 K and P = 1 atm

∴ R = 0.082 atm.L/K.mol

∴ moles (n) = 7.80 mol CH4(g)

∴ Volume CH4(g) = ?

⇒ V = RTn/P

⇒ V CH4(g) = ((0.082 atm.L/K.mol)×(298 K)×(7.80 mol)) / (1 atm)

⇒ V CH4(g) = 190.6 L

Is a planar carbon "backbone" possible for propane? Explain.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Cyclopropane has a planar carbon back bone while propane does not

Explanation:

We have to recognize that in straight chain saturated organic compounds, carbon atoms have a tetrahedral geometry. Each carbon atom is bonded to four other atoms.

However, carbon atoms in cyclic compounds are also sp3 hybridized with each carbon bonded to only four other atoms but the ring system is highly strained.

Cyclopropane is a necessarily planar molecule with a bond angle that is far less than the expected tetrahedral bond angle due to strain in the molecule. Hence, the carbon atoms may have have a "planar backbone".
