2. What evidence is there that mass extinction events occurred?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Natalija [7]2 years ago
5 0

Answer: Although the best-known cause of a mass extinction is the asteroid impact that killed off the non-avian dinosaurs, in fact, volcanic activity seems to have wreaked much more havoc on Earth's biota. Volcanic activity is implicated in at least four mass extinctions, while an asteroid is a suspect in just one. Examples, of mass extinctions are Permian extinction of marine species, and Cretaceous extinction of various species, including dinosaurs.

What would you need to do to calculate the molality of 10 g of NaCl in 2 kg of
jasenka [17]

Answer:

O B. Convert the 10 g of NaCl to moles of NaCl.

Explanation:

The formula for finding the molality is m=moles of solute/kg of solvent. The solute for this question is NaCl and the solvent is water.

(10g NaCl)(1 mol NaCl/58.44g NaCl)=0.1711 mol NaCl

58.44 is the molar mass of NaCl

m=0.1711 mol NaCl/2 kg H2O

m=0.085557837

1. The molar mass of the unknown gas obtained is 0.096 g/mol

2. The pressure of the oxygen gas in the tank is 1.524 atm

<h3>Graham's law of diffusion </h3>

This states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass i.e

R ∝ 1/ √M

R₁/R₂ = √(M₂/M₁)

<h3>1. How to determine the molar mass of the gas </h3>
  • Rate of unknown gas (R₁) = 11.1 mins
  • Rate of H₂ (R₂) = 2.42 mins
  • Molar mass of H₂ (M₂) = 2.02 g/mol
  • Molar mass of unknown gas (M₁) =?

R₁/R₂ = √(M₂/M₁)

11.1 / 2.42 = √(2.02 / M₁)

Square both side

(11.1 / 2.42)² = 2.02 / M₁

Cross multiply

(11.1 / 2.42)² × M₁ = 2.02

Divide both side by (11.1 / 2.42)²

M₁ = 2.02 / (11.1 / 2.42)²

M₁ = 0.096 g/mol

<h3>2. How to determine the pressure of O₂</h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Volume (V) = 438 L
  • Mass of O₂ = 0.885 kg = 885 g
  • Molar mass of O₂ = 32 g/mol
  • Mole of of O₂ (n) = 885 / 32 = 27.65625 moles
  • Temperature (T) = 21 °C = 21 + 273 = 294 K
  • Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol
  • Pressure (P) =?

The pressure of the gas can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation as illustrated below:

PV = nRT

Divide both side by V

P = nRT / V

P = (27.65625 × 0.0821 × 294) / 438

P = 1.524 atm

Which of the following substances has the highest entropy? c. liquid water d. crushed ice
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: liquid water

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.

\Delta S is positive when randomness increases and \Delta S is negative when randomness decreases.

Gases have more entropy than liquids and liquids have more entropy than solids due to movement of particles.

Thus liquid water will have more entropy than crushed ice.
