Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The chaparral biome is a temperate biome with a characteristic high temperature and dryness during summer and mild rainy winters and springs. The biome can be found in relatively small amounts in the major continents of the world with its rich plant and animal diversity who have successfully adapted to the conditions of the biome.

Due to the high biodiversity of the chaparral biome, one would expect it to be resilient to the loss of a single species. The more the biodiversity of a biome or community, the more resilient such biome or community would be to the loss of species and lower the biodiversity, the more sensitive the community would be to the loss of species.

Molecule of water contains hydrogen and oxygen in a 1:8 ratio by mass. This is a statement of __________.A) the law of multiple

fgiga [73]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

The molecule of water has 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen.

The ratio of masses are given as:

$2\times 1 g/mol: 1\times 16 g/mol= 1 : 8$

This illustrates the law of definite proportions which is also known as law of constant compositions .

The law states that 'the elements combining to form compound always combine in a fixed ratio by their mass.'

Whereas :

Law of multiple proportion states that when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compounds , the mass of one element with respect to the fixed mass of another element are in ratio of small whole numbers.

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

In a balanced chemical reaction ,total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

Given the following balanced equation, if the rate of O2 loss is 3.64 × 10-3 M/s, what is the rate of formation of SO3? 2 SO2(g)

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Rate of formation of SO₃ $[\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}]$ = 7.28 x 10⁻³ M/s

Explanation:

According to equation 2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 SO₃(g)

Rate of disappearance of reactants = rate of appearance of products

⇒ $-\frac{1}{2} \frac{d[SO_{2} ]}{dt} = -\frac{d[O_{2} ]}{dt}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{d[SO_{3} ]}{dt}$ -----------------------------(1)

Given that the rate of disappearance of oxygen = $-\frac{d[O_{2} ]}{dt}$ = 3.64 x 10⁻³ M/s

So the rate of formation of SO₃ $[\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}]$ = ?

from equation (1) we can write

$\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt} = 2 [-\frac{d[O_{2}] }{dt} ]$

⇒ $\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}$ = 2 x 3.64 x 10⁻³ M/s

⇒ $[\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}]$ = 7.28 x 10⁻³ M/s

∴ So the rate of formation of SO₃ $[\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}]$ = 7.28 x 10⁻³ M/s

Na +H₂O- NaOH +H₂ balance

Whitepunk [10]

Hey there!

Na + H₂O → NaOH + H₂

First, balance O.

One on the left, one on the right. Already balanced.

Next, balance H.

Two on the left, three on the right. Let's add a coefficient of 2 in front of NaOH and a coefficient of 2 in front of H₂O, so we have 4 on each side.

Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂

Lastly, balance Na.

One on the left, two on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of Na.

2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂

This is our final balanced equation.

Hope this helps!

The emission spectrum of hydrogen shows discrete, bright, colored lines. Which characteristic of the Bohr model is best supporte

natali 33 [55]

The characteristic of the Bohr model that would best support his observation is this assumption: "The energy of the electron in an orbit is proportional to its distance from the nucleus. The further the electron is from the nucleus, the more energy it has." The discrete, bright, colored lines might represent the electrons and its distance from the nucleus. The lights are caused by the energy it has.

When iron metal reacts with oxygen, the reaction can form Fe2O3. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction, and find

ryzh [129]

The balanced equation is
4Fe+3O₂⇒2Fe₂O₃

We know that the mole of Fe₂O₃ is 6, and since the ratio between oxygen and Fe₂O₃ is 3:2, we can see that

3:2 = x:6 (3 oxygen moles can make 2 Fe₂O₃ moles = x oxygen moles can make 6 Fe₂O₃ moles)

Multiply outside and inside (3*6 , 2*x) and put them on opposing sides of the equation

2*x = 3*6
2x=18
x=9
Therefore 9 moles of oxygen is needed.
