2. What is some ways composting can help make our food system more sustainable ?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sophie [7]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Organic waste in landfills generates, methane, a potent greenhouse gas. By composting wasted food and other organics, methane emissions are significantly reduced. Compost reduces and in some cases eliminates the need for chemical fertilizers. Compost promotes higher yields of agricultural crops.

A sample of oxygen gas occupies 3.60 liters at a pressure of 1.00 atm. If temperature is held constant, what will be the volume
Soloha48 [4]

Answer: The volume of the oxygen gas at a pressure of 2.50 atm will be 1.44 L

At constant temperature, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure it exerts, then

PV = c

Thus, if the pressure increases, the volume decreases, and if the pressure decreases, the volume increases.

It is not necessary to know the exact value of the constant c to be able to use this law since for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature, it is satisfied that,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Where P₁ and P₂ as well as V₁ and V₂ correspond to pressures and volumes for two different states of the gas in question.

In this case the first oxygen gas state corresponds to P₁ = 1.00 atm and V₁ = 3.60 L while the second state would be P₂ = 2.50 atm and V₂ = y. Substituting in the previous equation,

1.00 atm x 3.60 L = 2.50 atm x y

We cleared y to find V₂,

V₂ = y = \frac{1.00 atm x 3.60 L}{2.50 atm} = 1.44 L

Then, <u>the volume of the oxygen gas at a pressure of 2.50 atm will be 1.44 L</u>

What is formed when hydrobromic acid, hbr, and calcium hydroxide, ca(oh)2, are combined?
Lorico [155]

This is an acid – base reaction and this always result a salt and water in a neutralization reaction. <span>

The salt that is formed will be calcium bromide (calcium is located in group 2 so calcium bromide has a formula of CaBr2) 

so essentially we got:

HBr + Ca(OH)2 ------> CaBr2 + H2O </span>

balancing the elements: <span>

<span>2HBr(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) --------> CaBr2(aq) + 2H2O(l)</span></span>

Use the information below to explain why the atomic radius decreases down a group.
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Detail is given below

Explanation:

Atomic radii trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.

In A we can see that there is one positive charge and force of attraction is 2.30×10⁻⁸ N and distance is 0.10 nm

In B we can see that negative charge is further away from nucleus because of greater distance thus force of attraction will be less. 0.58×10⁻⁸ N

In C this distance further increases and force also goes in decreasing 0.26×10⁻⁸ N.
