Overuse of common resources often leads to economic problems, such as the tragedy of the commons, where user self-interest leads to the destruction of the resource in the long term, to the disadvantage of everyone.

Answer:

Overuse of resources makes them exhausted or entirely used up and may take centuries to replenish

For the following reaction, 22.6 grams of nitrogen monoxide are allowed to react with 4.64 grams of hydrogen gas . nitrogen mono

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

- 10.5 g of N₂

- Limiting reagent: NO

- 3.13 g of H₂ remains

Explanation:

First of all we state the reaction: 2NO(g) + 2H₂(g) → 2H₂O(l) + N₂(g)

We need to find out the limiting reactant and the excess reagent

Ratio in the reactants is 2:2. Let's convert the mass to moles:

22.6 g / 30 g/mol = 0.753 moles of NO

4.64 g / 2 g/mol = 2.32 moles of H₂

Certainly the limiting reagent is the NO and the excess reactant is the hydrogen:

- For 0.753 moles of NO, we need 0.753 moles of H₂ (we have 2.32 moles)

- For 2.32 moles of H₂, we need 2.32 moles of NO (and we don't have enough NO, because we only have 0.753 moles)

As the H₂ is the excess reagent, some moles still remains after the reaction is complete → 2.32 mol - 0.753 mol = 1.567 moles

We convert the moles to mass: 1.567 mol . 2g /1mol = 3.13 g of H₂ remains

As the NO is the limiting reagent, we can work with the equation:

We propose this rule of three: 2 moles of NO can produce 1 mol of N₂

Then, 0.753 moles of NO must produce (0.753 . 1) /2 = 0.376 moles of N₂

We convert the moles to mass 0.376 mol . 28 g / 1 mol = 10.5 g

Which of the following is true about a carbonated soft drink?

Makovka662 [10]

I would say the water is the solvent and carbon dioxide is the solute. Carbon dioxide is usually introduced to water under pressure and then sealed. Once the cap is removed, the carbon dioxide starts to escape since it is then under low pressure. Sometimes, natural groundwater has dissolved carbon dioxide in it but most of our soft drinks have it artificially introduced. Water plus carbon dioxide also form carbonic acid and this can give the tingly sensation on the tongue when drinking soft drinks.

Fill in the missing mass number and atomic number for each of these particles or types of radiation.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Particle / mass number atomic number

type of radiation

alpha / ⁴₂ He 4 2

beta / e⁰ 0 - 1

gamma / γ 0 0

neutron / n 1 0

Explanation:

These are the basic types of radiation: alpha (α), beta (β), gamma (γ), and neutrons (n).

The radiation is emitted by unstable nuclei when undergo radiactive decay or by nuclei that are shooted by other particles.

Alpha radiation (⁴₂ He):

They are nuclei of helium-4 atoms: 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

Hence, the atomic number, which is the number of protons, of these particles, is 2; and the mass number, which is the sum of protons and neutrons, is 2 + 2 = 4.

The symbol of this radiation is ⁴₂ He, where the superscript to the left of the chemical symbol is the mass number and the subscript to the left of the chemical symbol is the atomic number.

Beta (⁰₋ ₁ e)

These are electrons emiited from an unstable nucleus. The symbols used for this particle are either ⁰₋ ₁β or ⁰₋ ₁e.

The superscript 0 indicates that the relative mass of this particle is practically zero and the subscript -1 tells that the emission of electrons increases the atomic number of the nucleus that emits it.

Gamma (⁰₀γ)

The gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation of high (the highest) energy.

The both superscript and subscript are zero, meaning that this radiation does not change either the mass or atomic numbers of the nucleus.

Neutron (¹₀n):

Neutrons are also emiited from the nucleus and so they may be considered a radiation.

The atomic number of neutrons is 0 (since it does not have protons) and its mass number is 1.
