Answer:

Answer

Explanation:

Evidence from fossils, glaciers, and complementary coastlines helps reveal how the plates once fit together. Fossils tell us when and where plants and animals once existed. ... This distribution of fossils led to theories that the southern continents were once joined in a supercontinent called Gondwana.

Liquid octane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 97. g of octane is mi
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: 61 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles of octane}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{97g}{114g/mol}=0.85moles

\text{Number of moles of oxygen}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{150g}{32g/mol}=4.69moles

The chemical equation for the combustion of octane in oxygen follows the equation:

2C_8H_{18}+25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O

By stoichiometry of the reaction;

25 moles of oxygen react with 2 moles of octane

4.69 moles of oxygen react with=\frac{2}{25}\times 4.69=0.37  moles of octane

Thus, oxygen is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and octane is the excess reagent.

25 moles of oxygen produce 18 moles of water

4.69 moles of oxygen produce=\frac{18}{25}\times 4.69=3.38  moles of water.

Mass of water produced=moles\times {\text{Molar mass}}=3.38\times 18g/mol=61g

The maximum mass of water that could be produced by the chemical reaction is 61 grams.

Which scenario ensures that Earth’s global temperature is maintained?
Bond [772]

Answer:

Explained below:

Explanation:

The global temperature means the fluctuations in the temperature of the atmosphere and the oceans (existing in the earth surface).

Is the Earth’s global temperature is maintained or not depends on how much sunlight hits Earth versus and how much is returned, it also depends on the atmospheric level of carbon dioxide which prevents the earth from extreme cooling during the night.
