1. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the world's largest garbage dump. How big is it?

Which of the following radiations consists of a helium nucleus emitted by some radioactive substances? Alpha radiation Beta radi

erica [24]

Answer: Alpha radiation

Explanation: Alpha decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha radiation, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\textrm{He}$

Beta decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing beta radiation, the atomic number is increased by 1 unit.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}Y+_{-1}^0e$

Gamma decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing gamma radiation, the mass number remains same.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma$

What is the ideal gas law

dlinn [17]

Answer: Gases are complicated. They're full of billions and billions of energetic gas molecules that can collide and possibly interact with each other. Since it's hard to exactly describe a real gas, people created the concept of an Ideal gas as an approximation that helps us model and predict the behavior of real gases. The term ideal gas refers to a hypothetical gas composed of molecules which follow a few rules:

Ideal gas molecules do not attract or repel each other. The only interaction between ideal gas molecules would be an elastic collision upon impact with each other or an elastic collision with the walls of the container. [What is an elastic collision?]

Ideal gas molecules themselves take up no volume. The gas takes up volume since the molecules expand into a large region of space, but the Ideal gas molecules are approximated as point particles that have no volume in and of themselves.

If this sounds too ideal to be true, you're right. There are no gases that are exactly ideal, but there are plenty of gases that are close enough that the concept of an ideal gas is an extremely useful approximation for many situations. In fact, for temperatures near room temperature and pressures near atmospheric pressure, many of the gases we care about are very nearly ideal.

If the pressure of the gas is too large (e.g. hundreds of times larger than atmospheric pressure), or the temperature is too low (e.g.

−200 Cminus, 200, start text, space, C, end text) there can be significant deviations from the ideal gas law.

What does this rising heat and resulting convection cycle do to our rigid lithosphere

Verdich [7]

Answer:

The movement of heat by convection in the asthenosphere causes the rock of the mantle to slowly move in huge streams. ... As the rock of the asthenosphere moves in different directions, it carries parts of the lithosphere along with it. The lithospheric rock can't stretch, so it breaks into pieces--forming the plates.

Ammonia (NH3) is one of the most common chemicals produced in the united states. it is used to make fertilizer and other product

Greeley [361]

Answer:

a) N2 is the limiting reactant

b) 1215.9 grams NH3

c) 2283.6 grams H2

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of N2 = 1000 grams

Molar mass N2 = 28 g/mol

Mass of H2 = 2500 grams

Molar mass H2 = 2.02 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2(g) +3H2(g) → 2NH3(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles N2

Moles N2 = mass N2 / molar mass N2

Moles N2 = 1000 grams / 28.0 g/mol

Moles N2 = 35.7 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles H2

Moles H2 = 2500 grams / 2.02 g/mol

Moles H2 = 1237.6 moles

Step 5: Calculate limiting reactant

For 1 mol N2 we need 3 moles H2 to produce 2 moles NH3

N2 is the limiting reactant. There will be consumed 35.7 moles.

H2 is in excess. There will react 3*35.7 = 107.1 moles

There will remain 1237.6 - 107.1= 1130.5 moles H2

This is 1130.5 * 2.2 = 2283.6 grams H2

Step 6: Calculate moles NH3

For 1 mol N2 we need 3 moles H2 to produce 2 moles NH3

For 35.7 moles N2 we'll have 2*35.7 = 71.4 moles NH3

Step 7: Calculate mass NH3

Mass NH3 = moles NH3 * molar mass NH3

Mass NH3 = 71.4 moles * 17.03 g/mol

Mass NH3 = 1215.9 grams NH3
