What is the evidence that Mars once had flowing liquid water? Why is this important?

Answer:

New findings from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) provide the strongest evidence yet that liquid water flows intermittently on present-day Mars. Using an imaging spectrometer on MRO, researchers detected signatures of hydrated minerals on slopes where mysterious streaks are seen on the Red Planet. These darkish streaks appear to ebb and flow over time. They darken and appear to flow down steep slopes during warm seasons, and then fade in cooler seasons. They appear in several locations on Mars when temperatures are above minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 23 Celsius), and disappear at colder times.

68.3 grams of sodium hydroxide reacts with 78.3 grams of magnesium nitrate. ____ grams of magnesium hydroxide will form from thi
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

30.8 grams of magnesium hydroxide will form from this reaction, and magnesium nitrate is the limiting reagent.

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • 2NaOH + Mg(NO₃)₂ → 2NaNO₃ + Mg(OH)₂

Now we <u>convert the given masses of reactants to moles</u>, using their respective <em>molar masses</em>:

  • 68.3 g NaOH ÷ 40 g/mol = 1.71 mol NaOH
  • 78.3 g Mg(NO₃)₂ ÷ 148.3 g/mol = 0.528 mol Mg(NO₃)₂

0.528 moles of Mg(NO₃)₂ would react completely with (0.528 * 2) 1.056 moles of NaOH. There are more than enough NaOH moles, so NaOH is the reagent in excess and <em>Mg(NO₃)₂ is the limiting reagent.</em>

Now we <u>calculate how many Mg(OH)₂ are produced</u>, using the <em>moles of the limiting reagent</em>:

  • 0.528 mol Mg(NO₃)₂ * \frac{1molMg(OH)_2}{1molMg(NO_3)_2} = 0.528 mol Mg(OH)₂

Finally we convert Mg(OH)₂ moles to grams:

  • 0.528 mol Mg(OH)₂ * 58.32 g/mol = 30.8 g

geniusboy [140]
<span>answer is A : attracted to the negative terminal of the voltage source
 I think, that the "hole"moves as it captures a free electron leaving another hole in a slightly different place. The electron leaving leaves a net + charge, which is attracted to the negative terminal. Because the "hole" behaves as a positive charge it is attracted towards the negative terminal.</span>

If iodine-131 has a half-life of 8 days, how much of a 64.0 g sample of iodine-131 will remain after 32 day?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

4 g OF IODINE-131 WILL REMAIN AFTER 32 DAYS.

Explanation:

Half life (t1/2) = 8 days

Original mass (No) = 64 g

Elapsed time (t) = 32 days

Mass remaining (Nt) = ?

Using the half life equation we can obtain the mass remaining (Nt)

Nt = No (1/2) ^t/t1/2

Substituting the values, we have;

Nt = 64 * ( 1/2 ) ^32/8

Nt = 64 * (1/2) ^4

Nt = 64 * 0.0625

Nt = 4 g

So therefore, 4 g of the iodine-131 sample will remain after 32 days with its half life of 8 days.
