Answer:

Lithium is a naturally occurring alkali metal, which living organisms ingest from dietary sources and which is also present in trace amounts in the human body. In much higher concentrations, lithium is effective as a medication for mania and mood swings including manic depressive disorders.

Dimethyl sulfide is the most abundant biological sulfur compound emitted to the atmosphere. It is produced by phytoplankton and

iogann1982 [59]

The structure of Dimethyl sulfide is H3C-S-CH3. It is produced naturally by some marine algae.

Explanation:

DMS or dimethyl sulfide is formed by using two methyl groups combined with one sulfur atom. It is an organosulphur compound with a structural formula H3C-S-CH3.
Most abundant biological sulfur compounds emitted to air and oceans by phytoplankton.
DMS is produced naturally by the waste of dimethyl sulphoxide which is disposed into the sewer causing environmental odor problems.
It is a flammable liquid that boils at 37 degrees celsius and a disagreeable smell produced from the cooking of certain vegetables also indicates bacterial contamination in the production of malt and brewing.

The half of the moon facing the sun is always lit, but the different phases happen because:

zvonat [6]

Answer:

we only see parts of the lit side as the moon goes around the earth

Explanation:

Unlike the sun, the moon orbits the Earth. This is the reason why we see the different phases of the moon. The reflection of the moon is being illuminated back to us with the help of the sun. So, as the moon circles the Earth, we only see parts of the lit side. Such changes helps us see the moon in different phases such as the Third Quarter, Crescent, New Moon, Full Moon, etc.

For example, during "Full Moon," the moon's entire face is lit up by the sun. Thus, we see the entire moon's lit portion.

Thus, this explains the answer.

Three mixtures were prepared from three very narrow molar mass distribution polystyrene samples with molar masses of 10,000, 30,

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

(a). 46,666.7 g/mol; 78,571.4 g/mol

(b). 86950g/mol; 46,666.7 g/mol.

(c). 86950g/mol; 43,333.33 g/mol

Explanation:

So, we are given the molar masses for the three samples as: 10,000, 30,000 and 100,000 g mol−1.

Thus, the equal number of molecule in each sample = ( 10,000 + 30,000 + 100,000 ) / 3 = 46,666.7 g/mol.

The average molar mass = [ ( 10,000)^2 + (30,000)^2 + 100,000)^2] ÷ 10,000 + 30,000 + 100,000 = 78,571. 4 g/mol.

(b). The equal masses of each sample = 3/[ ( 1/ 10,000) + (1/30,000 ) + (1/100,000) ] = 20930.23 g/mol.

Average molar mass = ( 10,000 + 30,000 + 100,000 ) / 3 = 46,666.7 g/mol.

(c). Equal masses of the two samples = (0.145 × 10,000) + (0.855 × 100,000)/ 0.145 + 0.855 = 86950g/mol.

The weight average molar mass = 1.7 + 10,000 + 100,000/ 1.7 + 1 = 43,333.33 g/mol.
