What element is stored in the shells and skeltyons of living organisims?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kykrilka [37]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

carbon

Explanation:

Many organisms use carbon to make calcium carbonate, a building material of shells and skeletons. Other chemical processes create calcium carbonate in the water. The using up of carbon by biological and chemical processes allows more carbon dioxide to enter the water from the atmosphere.

PLEASE HELP QUICK!!! Electromagnetic Spectrum Activity Worksheet
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of frequencies (the spectrum) of electromagnetic radiation and their respective wavelengths and photon energies. The electromagnetic spectrum covers electromagnetic waves with frequencies ranging from below one hertz to above 10²⁵ hertz, corresponding to wavelengths from thousands of kilometers down to a fraction of the size of an atomic nucleus. This frequency range is divided into separate bands, and the electromagnetic waves within each frequency band are called by different names; beginning at the low frequency (long wavelength) end of the spectrum these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays at the high-frequency (short wavelength) end. The electromagnetic waves in each of these bands have different characteristics, such as how they are produced, how they interact with matter, and their practical applications. There is no known limit for long wavelengths, while it is thought that the short wavelength limit is in the vicinity of the Planck length. Extreme ultraviolet, soft X-rays, hard X-rays and gamma rays are classified as ionizing radiation as their photons have enough energy to ionize atoms, causing chemical reactions. Exposure to these rays can be a health hazard, causing radiation sickness, DNA damage and cancer. Radiation of visible light wavelengths and lower are called nonionizing radiation as they cannot cause these effects.

Complete the chemical equation for the formation reaction of ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH,l) from its constituent elements in their sta
oee [108]

Answer:

2C(s, graphite)+ 3H₂(g) + ½O₂(g) ⟶ C₂H₅OH(ℓ)  

Explanation:

The thermodynamic standard state of elements and compounds is defined as their most stable state at 25 °C and 1 bar

The elements in ethanol, C₂H₅OH, are C, H, and O.

Their most stable states at standard conditions are C₂H₅OH(ℓ), C(s, graphite), H₂(g), and O₂(g)

The equation for the formation of ethanol from its elements is  then

2C(s, graphite) + 3H₂(g) + ½O₂(g) ⟶ C₂H₅OH(ℓ)

How many moles of water can be formed from 23.9 mol of oxygen gas?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

47.8 moles of H₂O.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2H₂ + O₂ —> 2H₂O

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of O₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of H₂O

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of water, H₂O, produced by the reaction of 23.9 moles of O₂. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of O₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of H₂O.

Therefore, 23.9 moles of O₂ will react to produce = 23.9 × 2 = 47.8 moles of H₂O.

Thus, 47.8 moles of H₂O were obtained from the reaction.
