Answer:

1 gram

Explanation:

Half life = 25 years

Starting mass = 16 grams

Time = 100 years

Number of half lives = Time / Duration of Half life = 100 / 25 = 4

After first Half life;

Remaining mass = 16 / 2 =  8 g

After Second Half life;

Remaining mass = 8 / 2 =  4 g

After Third Half life;

Remaining mass = 4 / 2 =  2 g

After Fourth Half life;

Remaining mass = 2 / 2 = 1 g

A compound is 2.00% H by mass, 32.7% S by mass, and 65.3% O by mass. What is its empirical formula? The second step is to calcul
Free_Kalibri [48]
Lets take 100 g of this compound,
so it is going to be 2.00 g H, 32.7 g S and 65.3 g O.

2.00 g H *1 mol H/1.01 g H ≈ 1.98 mol H
32.7 g S *1 mol S/ 32.1 g S ≈ 1.02 mol S
65.3 g O * 1 mol O/16.0 g O ≈ 4.08 mol O

1.98 mol H : 1.02 mol S : 4.08 mol O = 2 mol H : 1 mol S : 4 mol O

Explain how a hurricane poses a threat to life and the biosphere. Use complete sentences.
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

A hurricane can cause extreme damage to the biosphere and the geosphere. A hurricane can leave water standing therefore sinking itself into the geosphere. The biosphere can be permanently effected because it can kill, injure, and destroy the biosphere and what the biosphere creates (buildings, parks).

The increasing concentration of a chemical as it moves through the links in a food chain is called ________.
algol13

Answer: Biological Magnification

Explanation:

Organisms acquire toxic substance from the environment along with nutrients and water. Some of the toxins are metabolized and excreted, but others accumulate in specific tissues, especially fat. One of the reasons accumulated toxins are particularly harmful is that the become more concentrated in successive trophic level of the food web, this is the process of biological magnification.

Magnification occurs because the biomass at any given level is produced from a must larger biomass ingested from the level below. Thus the top-level carnivores tend to be the organism most severely affected by toxic compounds in the environment.

Examples of toxins that demonstrate biology magnification are chlorinated hydrocarbons, and many pesticides.

Hydrogen and iodine react to form hydrogen iodide, like this: H_2 (g) + I_2 (g) rightarrow 2 HI(g) Also, a chemist finds that at
telo118 [61]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Hydrogen and iodine react to form hydrogen iodide, like this:

H_2(g)+I_2(g)\rightarrow 2HI(g)

Also, a chemist finds that at a certain temperature the equilibrium mixture of hydrogen, iodine, and hydrogen iodide has the following composition:

Compound            Pressure at equilibrium

H_2                                   61.8 atm

I_2                                    46.5 atm

HI                                  52.3 atm

Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant K_p for this reaction. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer : The value of equilibrium constant K_p for this reaction is, 0.952

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction :

H_2(g)+I_2(g)\rightarrow 2HI(g)

The expression of K_p for above reaction follows:

K_p=\frac{(P_{HI})^2}{P_{H_2}\times P_{I_2}}

We are given:

P_{H_2}=61.8atm

P_{I_2}=46.5atm

P_{HI}=52.3atm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

K_p=\frac{(52.3)^2}{61.8\times 46.5}\\\\K_p=0.952

Therefore, the value of equilibrium constant K_p for this reaction is, 0.952
