Answer:

It's A

Explanation:

Animals get the nitrogen they need by eating plants or other animals that contain nitrogen. When organisms die, their bodies decompose bringing the nitrogen into soil on land or into ocean water. Bacteria alter the nitrogen into a form that plants are able to use.

Describe the overall structure or order of the scientific process.
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Explanation:The scientific method is an empirical method of acquiring knowledge that has characterized the development of science since at least the 17th century. It involves careful observation, applying rigorous skepticism about what is observed, given that cognitive assumptions can distort how one interprets the observation. It involves formulating hypotheses, via induction, based on such observations; experimental and measurement-based testing of deductions drawn from the hypotheses; and refinement (or elimination) of the hypotheses based on the experimental findings. These are principles of the scientific method, as distinguished from a definitive series of steps applicable to all scientific enterprises.[1][2][3]

Though diverse models for the scientific method are available, there is in general a continuous process that includes observations about the natural world. People are naturally inquisitive, so they often come up with questions about things they see or hear, and they often develop ideas or hypotheses about why things are the way they are. The best hypotheses lead to predictions that can be tested in various ways. The most conclusive testing of hypotheses comes from reasoning based on carefully controlled experimental data. Depending on how well additional tests match the predictions, the original hypothesis may require refinement, alteration, expansion or even rejection. If a particular hypothesis becomes very well supported, a general theory may be develope

Consider the reaction below. If you start with 4.00 moles of C3H8 (propane) and 4.00 moles of O2 , how many moles of propane wou
fgiga [73]

Answer:

0.800 mol

Explanation:

We have the amounts of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.  

We know that we will need a balanced equation with moles of the compounds involved.  

Step 1. <em>Gather all the information</em> in one place.

            C₃H₈ + 5O₂ ⟶ 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

n/mol:  4.00    4.00

===============

Step 2. Identify the <em>limiting reactant </em>

Calculate the <em>moles of CO₂</em> we can obtain from each reactant.  

<em>From C₃H₈:</em>

The molar ratio of CO₂: C₃H₈ is 3:1

Moles of CO₂ = 4.00 × 3/1

Moles of CO₂ = 12.0 mol CO₂

<em>From O₂</em>:

The molar ratio of CO₂: O₂ is 3:5.

Moles of CO₂ = 4.00 × ⅗

Moles of CO₂ = 2.40 mol CO₂

O₂ is the limiting reactant because it gives the smaller amount of CO₂.

==============

Step 3. Calculate the <em>moles of C₃H₈ consumed</em>.

The molar ratio of C₃H₈:O₂ is 1:5.

Moles of C₃H₈ = 4.00 × ⅕

Moles of C₃H₈ = 0.800 mol C₃H₈

Which is the correct net ionic equation for the following reaction: H3PO4 (aq) + 3 LiOH (aq) &gt; Li3PO4 (aq) + 3 H2O (l)?
torisob [31]

Answer: The correct option for the chemical equation H_3PO_4(aq.)+3LiOH(aq.)\rightarrow Li_3PO_4(aq.)+3H_2O(l) is 1.

The correct option for the chemical equation 2HBr(aq.)+Co(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow CoBr_2(aq.)+2H_2O(l) is 3.

Explanation:

  • For the chemical equation:

H_3PO_4(aq.)+3LiOH(aq.)\rightarrow Li_3PO_4(aq.)+3H_2O(l)

H_3PO_4 is a weak acid and hence will not dissociate into ions whereas LiOH is a strong base and will easily dissociate into ions.

The product Li_3PO_4 is soluble in water and hence, will dissociate into its respective ions. Hence, the ionic equation for this reaction is:

H_3PO_4(aq.)+3Li^{3+}(aq.)+3OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow 3Li^{3+}(aq.)+PO_4^{3-}(aq.)+3H_2O(l)

Net ionic equation becomes:

H_3PO_4(aq.)+3OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow PO_4^{3-}(aq.)+3H_2O(l)

So, the correct option is 1.

  • For the chemical equation:

2HBr(aq.)+Co(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow CoBr_2(aq.)+2H_2O(l)

HBr and Co(OH)_2 are strong acid and strong base respectively, hence they will easily dissociate into ions.

The product, CoBr_2 is is soluble in water and hence, will dissociate into its respective ions. Hence, the ionic equation for this reaction is:

2H^+(aq.)+2Br^-(aq.)+Co^{2+}(aq.)+2OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq.)+2Br^-(aq.)+H_2O(l)

The net ionic equation becomes:

H^+(aq.)+OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow H_2O(l)

So, the correct option is 3.

Mixtures can be separated into their components by taking advantage of differences in the chemical properties of the components.
Sedaia [141]
The method of separating mixtures by means of their differences in the chemical properties of the components is less convenient because these methods requires reactions therefore needs energy, increasing the costs for the process.
