Answer:

Albedo

Explanation:

Usually when we talk about uneven heating of the Earth's surface we are discussing convection. The uneven heating results in some of the atmosphere to be warmer than other parts and changes in volume and pressure which result in updrafts and can cause thunderstorms and other violent weather. The cause of this is the reflectiveness of the surface of the Earth at that point (the albedo) and the angle that the sun's rays strike it at. A field covered with snow and ice is going to be much more reflective than a black top asphalt parking lot. As such the parking lot absorbs much more shortwave radiation from the sun and gets much warmer.

During the formation of the compound sodium chloride, the correct symbol and charge for each of the ions must be...

Xelga [282]

Answer : The correct symbol and charge for each of the ions must be $Na^{+1}$ and $Cl^{-1}$ .

Explanation :

Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.

The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

Ionic compound are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

As we know that the sodium chloride is an ionic compound in which sodium is an alkali metal and has one valence electron and chlorine is a non-metal and has 7 valence electrons.

When sodium atom donates an electron to a chlorine atom then it forms an ionic compound that is sodium chloride (NaCl) and the resulting positive ion $Na^{+1}$ and negative ion $Cl^{-1}$ form a stable ionic compound.

Hence, the correct symbol and charge for each of the ions must be $Na^{+1}$ and $Cl^{-1}$ .

In 2-3 sentences, explain WHY the Elodea cells placed in the salt solution look different than they do in water. Include in your

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The phenomenon of plasmolysis.

Explanation:

When cells of Elodea are placed in a salt solution the phenomenon of plasmolysis occurs and the water will start to move out from the cell. The concentration of salts in the cell will get high due to the diffusion of salt molecules inward. The organelles will look like as they are centered to the cell by hook.

If I have 13 g of C, how many moles of C do I have?

Triss [41]

C = Carbon

If you look in a periodic table and see the mass number for carbon. Its estimated around 12.

I believe it's between 1-2 moles.

All you have to do is 13/12 which will give yoy the estimated answer which is around 1.08 mole.

Calcium Oxide will react with ammonium chloride to produce ammonia gas, water vapor, and calcium chloride. If only 16.3 g of amm

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

%age Yield = 22.72 %

Explanation:

The balance chemical equation is as follow;

2 NH₄Cl + CaO → 2 NH₃ + CaCl₂ + H₂O

Step 1: Calculate Moles of CaO, NH₄Cl and NH₃;

CaO:

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 112 g / 56.07 g/mol

Moles = 1.99 moles of CaO

NH₄Cl:

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 224 g / 53.49 g/mol

Moles = 4.18 moles of NH₄Cl

NH₃:

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 16.3 g / 17.03 g/mol

Moles = 0.95 moles of NH₃

Step 2: Calculate Limiting reagent as:

According to equation.

2 moles of NH₄Cl reacts with = 1 mole of CaO

So,

4.18 moles of NH₄Cl will react with = X moles of CaO

Solving for X,

X = 4.18 mol × 1 mol / 2 mol

X = 2.09 mol of CaO

This means that none of the given reagent is limiting reagent. They both are almost equal in number of moles.

Step 3: Calculate Theoretical Yield of NH₃ as;

According to equation.

2 moles of NH₄Cl produced = 2 moles of NH₃

So,

4.18 moles of NH₄Cl will produce = X moles of NH₃

Solving for X,

X = 4.18 mol × 2 mol / 2 mol

X = 4.18 mol of NH₃

Step 4: Calculate Percentage Yield as;

%age Yield = Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield × 100

%age Yield = 0.95 mol / 4.18 × 100

%age Yield = 22.72 %
