SVEN [57.7K]

Answer: H₂O₂ (94%) > Air (23%) > Exhaled air (13%) > NaHCO₃ (0%)


Initial important note:


Although NaHCO₃ contents oxygen atoms, and you can calculate its compositoin, the resulting gas does not containg pure oxygen gas (O₂). For the comparisson it is not useful to calculate the content of oxygent atoms, but the concentration of O₂ gas. As such, the gas from NaHCO₃ contains 0% of pure O₂, that is why it is ranked last.


1) Air:


Source: internet


Approximate 23%. It is variable, because air is not a pure substance but a mixture of gases, whose compositon is not unique.


2) Exhaled air:


Source: internet.


Approximate 13%. The compositon of the air changes in our lungs, due to the respiration process: we inhale fresh air with around 23% of oxygen, part of this oxygen pass to the cells (lungs - blood - heart - cells) and then it is exhaled with a lower content of air and a greater content of CO₂


3) Air from the decomposition of H₂O₂.


In this case we can do a chemical calculation, since we can state the chemical equation of the reaction:


i) Chemical Equation:


H₂O₂ (g) → H₂ (g) + O₂ (g)


ii) mole ratio of the products 1 mol H₂ : 1 mol O₂


iii) convert moles into mass (grams)


1 mol H₂ × 2 × 1.008 g/mol = 2.016 g


1 mol O₂ × 2 × 15.999 g/mol = 31.998 g


Composition, % = [31.998 g / (2.016 g + 31.998 g) ] × 100 ≈ 94%



4) Air from the decomposition of NaHCO₃:


i) chemical equation:


2 NaHCO₃(s) → Na₂CO₃(s) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)


ii) mole ratio: take into account only the gases in the products:


1 mol CO₂ (g) : 1 mol H₂O


iii) mass in grams


CO₂: molar mass ia approximately 44.01 g/mol


H₂O: molar mass is approximately 18.02 g/mol


iii) Those gases although have oxygen atoms, do not hae free oxygen gas, which is what we are compariing. That means, that from the decomposition of NaHCO₃ you get 0% oxygen gas.


5) The result is:


H₂O₂ (94%) > Air (23%) > Exhaled air (13%) > NaHCO₃ (0%)

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:Although the term is quite new, our connection to nature is not. We depend on nature for our survival - without healthy ecosystems, our drinking water isn’t clean nor is the air we breathe. We also enjoy nature... studies show that people who spend time in nature tend to be happier than those that don’t. It can even act as a natural anti-depressant. With industry and urban sprawl expanding at unprecedented rates, Ecosystem Services attempt to translate the benefits we receive from nature into economic terms so we can better understand the trade-offs we are making between nature and industrial development.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: 8500 J lost or -8500 J

Explanation:

q=cmt

t=375-26

t=349

q=0.38(64)(349)

q=8487.68 J

Answer must have 2 sig figs, which means it rounds to 8500 J.

A _____________ is formed when water empties into a lake or ocean
solong [7]

Answer:

a delta

Explanation:

he place where a river enters a lake, larger river, or the ocean is called its mouth. River mouths are places of much activity. As a river flows, it picks up sediment from the river bed, eroding banks, and debris on the water. ... When large amounts of alluvium are deposited at the mouth of a river, a delta is formed.
