Earth contains huge quantities of water in its oceans, lakes, rivers, the atmosphere, and believe it or not, in the rocks of the inner Earth. Over millions of years, much of this water is recycled between the inner Earth, the oceans and rivers, and the atmosphere. This cycling process means that freshwater is constantly made available to Earth's surface where we all live. Our planet is also very efficient at keeping this water. Water, as a vapor in our atmosphere, could potentially escape into space from Earth. But the water doesn't escape because certain regions of the atmosphere are extremely cold. (At an altitude of 15 kilometers, for example, the temperature of the atmosphere is as low as -60° Celsius!) At this frigid temperature, water forms solid crystals that fall back to Earth's surface.
Many people live faraway from freshwater sources. They need to carry their water home.
While our planet as a whole may never run out of water, it's important to remember that clean freshwater is not always available where and when humans need it. In fact, half of the world's freshwater can be found in only six countries. More than a billion people live without enough safe, clean water.
Also, every drop of water that we use continues through the water cycle. Stuff we put down the drain ends up in someone or something else's water. We can help protect the quality of our planet's freshwater by using it more wisely.
Metals are the type of elements that are most likely to form more than one type of ion, for instance iron can form the ion of Fe^2+ or Fe^3+.
Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
An intensive property is a bulk property, meaning that it is a local physical property of a system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system. Examples of intensive properties include temperature, T; refractive index, n; density, ρ; and hardness of an object,specific heat, η.
Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter. Physical properties are used to observe and describe matter. Physical properties include: appearance, texture, color, odor, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, polarity, specific heat and many others.
Answer:
The amount in grams of hydrogen gas produced is 0.551 grams
Explanation:
The parameters given are;
Number of atoms of potassium, aₙ = 3.289 × 10²³ atoms
Chemical equation for the reaction is given as follows;
2K + 2H₂O 
KOH + H₂
Avogadro's number, 
, regarding the number of molecules or atom per mole is given s follows;
= 6.02 × 10²³ atoms/mole
Therefore;
The number of moles of potassium present = 3.289 × 10²³/(6.02 × 10²³) = 0.546 moles
2 moles of potassium produces one mole of hydrogen gas, therefore;
1 moles of potassium produces 1/2 mole of hydrogen gas, and 0.546 moles of potassium will produce 0.546/2 moles of hydrogen which is 0.273 moles of hydrogen gas
The molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2.016 grams
Therefore, 0.273 moles will have a mass of 0.273×2.016 = 0.551 grams.
The amount in grams of hydrogen gas produced = 0.551 grams.
Answer:
(C) The average molecular speed of ethane is equal to the average molecular speed of propanol.
Explanation:
When dealing with gases, you know that the temperature and speed are related. When held at a constant temperature, the speed is also held constant. We also know that ideal gases behave the same despite their identities.
