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.

Arrange the molecules in order from strongest intermolecular force to weakest.
motikmotik

Answer:- C_4H_1_0>C_3H_8>C_2H_6>CH_4

Explanations:- Alkanes are non polar molecules as these only have carbons and hydrogens. Electron negativity difference of C and H is very low and it makes them non polar. These have weaker London dispersion forces.

The forces of attraction becomes stronger in alkanes as the number of carbon increases because the surface area as well as molecular weight of the alkanes increases with an increase in number of carbons.

Butane has four carbons, propane has three carbons, ethane has two and methane has only one carbon, So, the strongest to weakest order of inter molecular forces is butane > propane > ethane > methane .

using the equation you wrote determine how many moles of butane c4h10 are needed to react with 5.5 moles of oxygen
GaryK [48]

Answer:

0.846 moles.

Explanation:

  • This is a stichiometric problem.
  • The balanced equation of complete combustion of butane is:

C₄H₁₀ + 6.5 O₂ → 4 CO₂ + 5 H₂O

  • It is clear from the stichiometry of the balanced equation that complete combustion of 1.0 mole of butane needs 6.5 moles of O₂ to produce 4 moles of CO₂ and 5 moles of H₂O.

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

  • 1.0 mole of C₄H₁₀ reacts with → 6.5 moles of O₂
  • ??? moles of C₄H₁₀ are needed to react with → 5.5 moles of O₂
  • The number of moles of C₄H₁₀ that are needed to react with 5.5 moles of O₂ = (1.0 x 5.5 moles of O₂) / (6.5 moles of O₂) = 0.846 moles.

What is the pressure of a sample of gas at a volume of .335 L if it occupies 1700 mL at 850 mm Hg?
dangina [55]

Answer:

Pressure = 4313.43mmHg

Explanation:

P1 = ?

V1 = 0.335L

V2 = 1700mL =1700*10^-3L = 1.7L

P2 = 850mmhg

From Boyle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure provided that temperature remains constant.

P = k / v

K = pv. P1V1 = P2V2 = P3V3 =........=PnVn

P1V1 = P2V2

Solve for P1,

P1 = (P2*V2) / V1

P1 = (850 * 1.7) / 0.335

P1 = 4313.43mmHg

The pressure of the gas was 4313.43mmHg
