Answer:

Their amount is not consistent at all parts of the atmosphere

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide and water vapor exists as variable gases in the atmosphere because their amount varies from one part to the other.

The abundance of variable gases is influenced strongly by activities from the surface.
This variability occurs a result of the contribution from from life activities on the surface.
Also, due to properties of the gases, they are not evenly distributed.
At certain altitudes, the amount of water vapor can be low.

What is the % composition of Carbon in Chromium (iii) Carbonate

photoshop1234 [79]

Step 1 - Discovering the ionic formula of Chromium (III) Carbonate

Chromium (III) Carbonate is formed by the ionic bonding between Chromium (III) (Cr(3+)) and Carbonate (CO3(2-)):

$Cr^{3+}+CO^{2-}_3\rightarrow Cr_2(CO_3)_3$

Step 2 - Finding the molar mass of the substance

To find the molar mass, we need to multiply the molar mass of each element by the number of times it appears in the formula of the substance and, finally, sum it all up.

The molar masses are 12 g/mol for C; 16 g/mol for O and 52 g/mol for Cr. We have thus:

$\begin{gathered} C\rightarrow3\times12=36 \\ \\ O\rightarrow9\times16=144 \\ \\ Cr\rightarrow2\times52=104 \end{gathered}$

The molar mass will be thus:

$M=36+104+144=284\text{ g/mol}$

Step 3 - Finding the percent composition of carbon

As we saw in the previous step, the molar mass of Cr2(CO3)3 is 284 g/mol. From this molar mass, 36 g/mol come from C. We can set the following proportion:

$\begin{gathered} 284\text{ g/mol ---- 100\%} \\ 36\text{ g/mol ----- x} \\ \\ x=\frac{36\times100}{284}=\frac{3600}{284}=12.7\text{ \%} \end{gathered}$

The percent composition of Carbon is thus 12.7 %.
