Answer:

The ancient Greeks believed that fire was one the four basic elements that composed all things in the universe. In the mythology of virtually every culture, fire is a sacred substance that gives life or power. Fire is not, in fact, a substance. When you gaze at the leaping flames of a campfire, you’re observing not an object, but a process – a chemical reaction. It’s the same chemical reaction that occurs when a cut apple left on the counter turns brown, when silver tarnishes or when an iron nail rusts.

That process is oxidation: combining oxygen with another substance. The defining difference between a fire and your half-eaten apple is speed: fire is an oxidation process that happens very fast, so that light, heat and sound are released — often with enough force and majesty to justify the ancients’ reverence.The sudden release of energy causes temperatures to rise, sometimes by thousands of degrees. And it also results in smoke, the toxic waste of fire’s leftovers.

The fire triangle and the fire tetrahedron

Fire TetrahedronThe fire triangle identifies the three needed components of fire:

fuel (something that will burn)

heat (enough to make the fuel burn)

and air (oxygen)

Which statement is correct regarding the rate of the reaction below? 3A + B 4X + 2Y The rate of disappearance of B is three time

V125BC [204]

First, let's write the givens in the form of a chemical equation:
3A + B ...................> 4X + 2Y

Now we find that this equation implies the following:
For every 4X and 2Y formation, 3A and 1B must disappear (react).

Comparing this implication to the above choices, we find that the right answer is: <span>The rate of formation of X is four times the rate of disappearance of B.</span>

What is the function of the phytoplankton in the ocean ecosystem

Nitella [24]

Phytoplankton is a type of micro algae. This creature is similar to the other plants in the ocean biome. But what makes it special is the fact that it is the main produce in the food web. The plant is so small that it is impossible to see it with the naked eye.

However, that doesn’t remove the fact that phytoplankton contains a huge amount of chlorophyll. Here are the 13 Function of the Phytoplankton in Ocean Ecosystem. Find out what makes this small plant so crucial to the ocean

Answer:

(See explanation for further details)

Explanation:

1) The quantity of moles of sulfur is:

$n = \frac{1.20\times 10^{24}\,atoms}{6.022\times 10^{23}\,\frac{atoms}{mol} }$

$n = 1.993\,moles$

2) The number of atoms of helium is:

$x = (1.5\,moles)\cdot \left(6.022\times 10^{23}\,\frac{atoms}{mole} \right)$

$x = 9.033\times 10^{23}\,atoms$

3) The quantity of moles of carbon monoxide is:

$n = \frac{4.15\times 10^{23}\,molecules}{6.022\times 10^{23}\,\frac{molecules}{mol} }$

$n = 0.689\,moles$

4) The number of molecules of sulfur dioxide is:

$x = (2.25\,moles)\cdot \left(6.022\times 10^{23}\,\frac{molecules}{mole} \right)$

$x = 1.355\times 10^{24}\,molecules$

5) The quantity of moles of sodium chloride is:

$n = \frac{2.4\times 10^{23}\,molecules}{6.022\times 10^{23}\,\frac{molecules}{mol} }$

$n = 0.399\,moles$

6) The number of formula units of magnesium iodide is:

$x = (1.8\,moles)\cdot \left(6.022\times 10^{23}\,\frac{f.u.}{mole} \right)$

$x = 1.084\times 10^{24}\,f.u.$

7) The quantity of moles of potassium permanganate is:

$n = \frac{3.67\times 10^{23}\,f.u.}{6.022\times 10^{23}\,\frac{f.u.}{mol} }$

$n = 1.214\,moles$

8) The number of molecules of carbon tetrachloride is:

$x = (0.25\,moles)\cdot \left(6.022\times 10^{23}\,\frac{molecules}{mole} \right)$

$x = 1.506\times 10^{23}\,molecules$

9) The quantity of moles of aluminium is:

$n = \frac{3.67\times 10^{23}\,atoms}{6.022\times 10^{23}\,\frac{atoms}{mol} }$

$n = 0.609\,moles$

10) The number of molecules of oxygen difluoride is:

$x = (3.52\,moles)\cdot \left(6.022\times 10^{23}\,\frac{molecules}{mole} \right)$

$x = 2.120\times 10^{24}\,molecules$
