Answer:

Explanation:

Stress causes the build up of strain, which causes the deformation of rocks and the Earth's crust. Compressional stresses cause a rock to shorten. Tensional stresses cause a rock to elongate, or pull apart.

Which of the following describes the role of water in supporting the chemical reactions that occur within various life forms? It

wel

Answer:

The correct option is;

It is used during photosynthesis to capture sunlight

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, light energy from the Sun is converted and stored in sugars as chemical energy. The Sun light energy is used in the formation of complex sugars such as glucose from the combination of water from the ground and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while oxygen is released as the byproduct. Organisms are then able to obtain energy from the glucose as well as carbon fiber

The chemical equation for the reaction is as follows;

6CO₂ + 12H₂O + light energy → C₂H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ + 6H₂O

Carbon, Water, GLucose, Oxygen, Water

A 3.4 g sample of sodium hydrogen carbonate is added to a solution of acetic acid weighing 10.9 g. The two substances react, rel

natima [27]

Answer: 2.7 grams

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

$NaHCO_3(aq)+CH_3COOH(aq)\rightarrow CH_3COONa(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$

Given: mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate = 3.4 g

mass of acetic acid = 10.9 g

Mass of reactants = mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate+ mass of acetic acid = 3.4 + 10.9= 14.3 g

Mass of reactants = Mass of products in reaction vessel + mass of carbon dioxide (as it escapes)

Mass of carbon dioxide = 14.3 - 11.6 =2.7 g

Thus the mass of carbon dioxide released during the reaction is 2.7 grams.

A radioactive isotope of potassium (k) has a half-life of 20 minutes. if a 43 gram sample of this isotope is allowed to decay fo

Ksenya-84 [330]

Hello!

The half-life is the time of half-disintegration, it is the time in which half of the atoms of an isotope disintegrate.

We have the following data:

mo (initial mass) = 43 g

m (final mass after time T) = ? (in g)

x (number of periods elapsed) = ?

P (Half-life) = 20 minutes

T (Elapsed time for sample reduction) = 80 minutes

Let's find the number of periods elapsed (x), let us see:

$T = x*P$

$80 = x*20$

$80 = 20\:x$

$20\:x = 80$

$x = \dfrac{80}{20}$

$\boxed{x = 4}$

Now, let's find the final mass (m) of this isotope after the elapsed time, let's see:

$m = \dfrac{m_o}{2^x}$

$m = \dfrac{43}{2^{4}}$

$m = \dfrac{43}{16}$

$\boxed{\boxed{m = 2.6875\:g}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark$

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)

Element X reacts to form XO. It has the second smallest radius of its group. What is element X?

andriy [413]

Answer:

Explanation:

Is the element of the first group and is the second smallest of its group. Even Magnesium is in the same situation, but if you compare the atomic radius of lithium and magnesium, the first one is smaller.

Barium definitely is incorrect because is the one that has the biggest radius of its group.

Beryllium is the first of its group so it can not fit the description.
