How do coastal sand dunes form in Florida?

Chemistry

Answer:

They are formed by windblown sand collecting around an obstruction. As organic matter is deposited by wind and waves, low herbs colonize the dune. As these plants collect more sand and organic matter, the dune increases in height becoming the fore dune.

Sulfur reacts with fluorine to produce three different compounds. The mass ratio of fluorine to sulfur for each compound is give

NARA [144]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of F / Mass of S = 2.962/1 =2.962 X 32 / 32 = 94.78/32

Mass of F / Mass of S = 2.370 /1 = 2.370 X 32 / 32 = 75.84 /32

Mass of F /Mass of S = 3.555/1 = 3.555 x 32 / 32 = 113.76 / 32 .

Now constant mass of S that is 32 g reacts with different mass of F. They are as follows :

94.78 g , 75.84 g , and 113.76 g

Their ratio = 94.78 : 75.84 : 113.76

divide them by 19

their ratio = 5 : 4 : 6

So these data are consistent with law of multiple proportion.

What is the lower concentration limit (vol%) at which a mixture of ethanol in air can explode?

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Lower explosive limit (LEL) of ethanol = 3.3%

Explanation:

In the case of alcohol, ethanol presents certain fire hazards. Its momentary flash point is 55ºF (12.9ºC), while the momentary flash point of gasoline is -45ºF (-42.8ºC), and the E85 mixture ranges between -20ºF and -4ºF (between -28 , 9ºC and -20ºC), and has a wider range of flammability limits than gasoline. For emergency response teams, this implies that during a release of the typical ethanol / gasoline mixture, the fuel can be expected to behave like gasoline: It is heavier than air - as we mentioned earlier - and can produce vapors and form flammable mixtures in the air, under most environmental conditions.

General properties and comparison with other inflambles products:

Flash point momentary Gasoline = -45 ° F

Ethanol = 55 ° F

E 85 = between -20º and -4º F

Flammability limits

Lower explosive limit (LEL) of ethanol = 3.3%

Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) = 19%

Lower explosive limit (LEL) of the mixture E 85 = 1.4%

Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) 85 = 19%

Lower explosive limit (LEL) of gasoline = 1.4%

Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) = 7.6%

They have a wider range than gasoline

Reading a Periodic Table
Moles
Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

Organic

Naming carbons

Stoichiometry

Analyzing reaction rxn
Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[RxN - Unbalanced] CH₄ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

[RxN - Balanced] CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

[Given] 130 g CH₄

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

[RxN] 1 mol CH₄ → 2 mol H₂O

[PT] Molar Mass of C: 12.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of H: 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of CH₄: 12.01 + 4(1.01) = 16.05 g/mol

Step 3: Stoichiometry

[DA] Set up conversion: $\displaystyle 130 \ g \ CH_4(\frac{1 \ mol \ CH_4}{16.05 \ g \ CH_4})(\frac{2 \ mol \ H_2O}{1 \ mol \ CH_4})(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ H_2O}{1 \ mol \ H_2O})$
[DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 9.75526 \cdot 10^{24} \ molecules \ H_2O$

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.

9.75526 × 10²⁴ molecules H₂O ≈ 9.8 × 10²⁴ molecules H₂O

HELP ASAP PLEASEEEEE!!!!! (serious answers only or i’ll report)

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

1st order

Explanation:

because magnesium has a coefficient of 1, it is first order

hydrochloric acid has a coefficient of 2, so it is second order

overall the reaction is third order (1+2)

In Lab 10 you make a stock solution of salicylic acid, and then four dilutions. The stock solution is made by diluting 5.00 ml o

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Stock solution = 1.25 *10^-3 M

Dilution 1 = 5*10^-4 M

Dilution 2= 3.75 * 10^-4 M

Dilution 3 = 2.5 *10^-4 M

Dilution 4 = 1.25 *10^-4 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The stock solution is made by diluting 5.00 ml of 1.250 x 10-2 M salicylic acid in 50.00 mL of solution.

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of the stock solution:

M1*V1 = M2*V2

⇒ with M1 = the initial concentration = 1.250 *10^-2 M

⇒ with V1 = 5 mL = 5*10^-3 L

⇒ with M2 = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with V2 = 50 mL = 50 *10^-3 L

M2 = (M1*V1)/V2

M2 = (1.250 *10^-2 * 5*10^-3 L) / 50 *10^-3

M2 = 0.00125 M = 1.25 *10^-3 M

Step 3: Calculate dilution 1

M2 = (M1*V1)/V2

M2 = (1.25*10^-3 * 10 *10^-3)/(25*10^-3L)

M2 = 0.0005 M = 5*10^-4 M

Step 4: Calculate dilution 2

M2 = (M1*V1)/V2

M2 = (1.25*10^-3 * 10 * 7.5*10^-3)/(25*10^-3)

M2 = 0.000375 M = 3.75 * 10^-4 M

Step 5: Calculate dilution 3

M2 = (M1*V1)/V2

M2 = (1.25*10^-3 * 5*10^-3) /(25*10^-3)

M2 = 0.00025 M = 2.5 *10^-4 M

Step 6: Calculate dilution 4

M2 = (M1*V1)/V2

M2 = (1.25*10^-3 * 2.5*10^-3)/(25*10^-3)

M2 = 0.000125 M = 1.25 *10^-4 M
