B.
Because if you were to be in a room with orange lights the water would appear orange and glowing. Same thing with other colors this is because the sun rays pass through the atmosphere reflecting from a pure white light to a lighter blue and reflecting off of the waters surface.

Part A: Three gases (8.00 g of methane, CH_4, 18.0g of ethane, C_2H_6, and an unknown amount of propane, C_3H_8) were added to t

myrzilka [38]

Explanation:

Part A:

Total pressure of the mixture = P = 5.40 atm

Volume of the container = V = 10.0 L

Temperature of the mixture = T = 23°C = 296.15 K

Total number of moles of gases = n

PV = nRT (ideal gas equation)

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{5.40 atm\times 10.0 L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 296.15 K}=2.22 mol$

Moles of methane gas = $n_1=\frac{8.00 g}{16 g/mol}=0.5 mol$

Moles of ethane gas = $n_2=\frac{18.0 g}{30 g/mol}=0.6 mol$

Moles of propane gas = $n_3$

$n=n_1+n_2+n_3$

$2.22=0.5 mol +0.6 mol+ n_3$

$n_3= 2.22 mol - 0.5 mol -0.6 mol= 1.12 mol$

Mole fraction of methane = $\chi_1=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2+n_3}=\frac{n_1}{n}$

$\chi_1=\frac{0.5 mol}{2.22 mol}=0.2252$

Similarly, mole fraction of ethane and propane :

$\chi_2=\frac{n_2}{n}=\frac{0.6 mol}{2.22 mol}=0.2703$

$\chi_3=\frac{n_3}{n}=\frac{1.12 mol}{2.22 mol}=0.5045$

Partial pressure of each gas can be calculated by the help of Dalton's' law:

$p_i=P\times \chi_1$

Partial pressure of methane gas:

$p_1=P\times \chi_1=5.40 atm\times 0.2252=1.22 atm$

Partial pressure of ethane gas:

$p_2=P\times \chi_2=5.40 atm\times 0.2703=1.46 atm$

Partial pressure of propane gas:

$p_3=P\times \chi_3=5.40 atm\times 0.5045=2.72 atm$

Part B:

Suppose in 100 grams mixture of nitrogen and oxygen gas.

Percentage of nitrogen = 37.8 %

Mass of nitrogen in 100 g mixture = 37.8 g

Mass of oxygen gas = 100 g - 37.8 g = 62.2 g

Moles of nitrogen gas = $n_1=\frac{37.8 g g}{28g/mol}=1.35 mol$

Moles of oxygen gas = $n_2=\frac{62.2 g}{32 g/mol}=1.94 mol$

Mole fraction of nitrogen= $\chi_1=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}$

$\chi_1=\frac{1.35 mol}{1.35 mol+1.94 mol}=0.4103$

Similarly, mole fraction of oxygen

$\chi_2=\frac{n_2}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{1.94 mol}{1.35 mol+1.94 mol}=0.5897$

Partial pressure of each gas can be calculated by the help of Dalton's' law:

$p_i=P\times \chi_1$

The total pressure is 405 mmHg.

P = 405 mmHg

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas:

$p_1=P\times \chi_1=405 mmHg\times 0.4103 =166.17 mmHg$

Partial pressure of oxygen gas:

$p_2=P\times \chi_2=405 mmHg\times 0.5897=238.83 mmHg$

Part APart complete A sample of sodium reacts completely with 0.568 kg of chlorine, forming 936 g of sodium chloride. What mass

yan [13]

Answer: 368 grams of sodium reacted.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is :

$2Na(s)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2NaCl(s)$

$\text{Moles of chlorine}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$

$\text{Moles of chlorine}=\frac{0.568\times 1000g}{71g/mol}=8moles$

$\text{Moles of sodium chloride}=\frac{936g}{58.5g/mol}=16mol$

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of $NaCl$ are formed from = 2 moles of $Na$

Thus 16 moles of $NaCl$ are formed from= $\frac{2}{2}\times 16=16moles$ of $Na$

Mass of $Na=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=16moles\times 23g/mol=368g$

Thus 368 grams of sodium reacted.

Why is the sun's renewable energy important to animals?

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

2. they eat plants that get their energy from the sun

Explanation:

Based on the way energy flows through an ecosystem, animals could not survive if they did not have the source of plants. So, the sun's renewable energy is important to animals because the sun helps them grow their food.

I hope this helps and makes sense!

Which of the following chemical formulas show three molecules of a compound that has one

mr_godi [17]

The chemical formula : 3HgBr₂(Mercury(II) bromide)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The chemical formulas of Mercury and Bromine

Required

The appropriate chemical formula

Solution

A molecular formula is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.

The number of molecules is determined by the coefficient in front of the compound

the number of atoms is determined by the subscript after the atom and the coefficient

Three molecules⇒ coefficient = 3

one atom of Mercury ⇒Hg

two atoms of Bromine ⇒ Br₂

The chemical formula : 3HgBr₂

Osmosis and diffusion are related processes that display similarities. Both osmosis and diffusion equalize the concentration of two solutions. Both diffusion and osmosis are passive transport processes, which means they do not require any input of extra energy to occur. In both diffusion and osmosis, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration. Osmosis and facilitated diffusion both account for movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
