Answer:
3.1 kg
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced combustion equation
C₈H₁₈ + 12.5 O₂ ⇒ 8 CO₂ + 9 H₂O
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 1.0 kg of C₈H₁₈.
The molar mass of C₈H₁₈ is 114.23 g/mol.
1.0 × 10³ g × 1 mol/114.23 g = 8.8 mol
Step 3: Calculate the moles of CO₂ produced from 8.8 moles of C₈H₁₈
The molar ratio of C₈H₁₈ to CO₂ is 1:8. The moles of CO₂ produced are 8/1 × 8.8 mol = 70 mol.
Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 70 moles of CO₂
The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.
70 mol × 44.01 g/mol = 3.1 × 10³ g = 3.1 kg
Answer is 4 ½ billion.
Scientists think the earth's age is 4 ½ billion. This calculation is based on the radioactive dating. Since the formation of the earth, the time period has been divided into 3 major geological time periods as eon. They are phanerozoic, proterozoic and archean.
Answer:
Nitrifying Bacteria are a group of aerobic bacteria important in the nitrogen cycle as converters of soil ammonia to nitrates, compounds usable by plants. An example is nitrosomonas or nitrobacter and species in that family.
The schematic diagram is attached below, which summarises the oxidation of ammonia or free nitrogen in the soil to nitrates for the cowpea plant's utilisation.
