Match each process to where it occurs in the carbon cycle

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Carbon enters the atmosphere by respiration.

Carbon dioxide is absorbed by producers in photosynthesis.

Then carbon transfers from organism to organism from animals eating the plants then the animals eating the other animals.

Then the animals and plants die and decomposes release CO2 back into the atmosphere to start the process again.

Explain why very small cloud droplets of pure water evaporate even when the relative humidity is 100 percent.

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Very small cloud droplets of pure water evaporate even when the relative humidity is 100 percent because of the curvature of the droplets surface.

Explanation:

The curvature of a droplet's surface, the molecules present over the surface are much exposed to their surrounding, perhaps less tightly bound by the surface tension force and hence evaporate more speedily than molecules present over the plane surface. For which the saturation vapor pressure of the surface goes up slightly with the curvature of that surface and also with relative humidity. By which the surface is in the equilibrium to more than 100 percent.

How would you prepare 500 ml of the following solutions : Sodium succinate buffer (0.1 mol/dm3 pH 5.64)

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

8.10g of sodium succinate must be added and 247mL of 0.1M HCl adding enough water until make 500mL

Explanation:

Succinic acid has a pKa₂ of 5.63

To solve this question we must find the amount of sodium succinate and 0.1M HCl that we have to add using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [A-] / [HA]

5.64 = 5.63 + log [Na₂Succ.] / [HSucc⁺]

0.01 = log [Na₂Succ.] / [HSucc⁺]

1.0233 = [Na₂Succ.] / [HSucc⁺] (1)

As:

0.1M = [Na₂Succ.] + [HSucc⁺] (2)

Replacing (2) in (1):

1.0233 = 0.1M - [HSucc⁺] / [HSucc⁺]

1.0233[HSucc⁺] = 0.1M - [HSucc⁺]

2.033[HSucc⁺] = 0.1M

[HSucc⁺] = 0.0494M

[Na₂Succ] = 0.0506M

Both [Na₂Succ⁺] and [HSucc⁺] ions comes from the same sodium succinate we have to find the moles of sodium succinate in 500mL of 0.1M. Then, based on the reaction:

Na₂Succ + HCl → HSucc⁺ + Cl⁻

The moles of HCl added = Moles HSucc⁺ we need:

Moles Na₂Succ:

0.500L * (0.1mol/L) = 0.0500 moles

Mass -Molar mass sodium succinate: 162.05g/mol-:

0.0500mol * (162.05g/mol) = 8.10g of sodium succinate must be added

Moles HCl:

0.0494M * 0.500L = 0.0247 moles HCl * (1L / 0.1mol) = 0.247L =

And 247mL of 0.1M HCl adding enough water until make 500mL

Significant digits are the number of digits that reflect the precision of a measurement or number.

Delvig [45]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Significant digits are numbers that helps to present the precision of measurements calculations.

Numbers that do not contribute to the precision of a reading should not be counted as significant.

There are rules of assigning significant numbers:

Leading or trailing zeros are insignificant and should only be counted as a place holder.
All non-zero digits are significant
Zeroes between non-zero digits are significant.
Leading zeros in a decimal are significant before the number.
All the numbers in a scientific notation are significant.
