What are the causes and consequences of climate change

1 answer:

7 0

Answer: Humans are increasingly influencing the climate and the earth's temperature by burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests and farming livestock.

Explanation: This adds enormous amounts of greenhouse gases to those naturally occurring in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming.

Rhodium crystallizes in a face-centered cubic unit cell. The radius of a rhodium atom is 135 pm. Determine the density of rhodiu

Deffense [45]

Answer:

Density of unit cell ( rhodium) = 12.279 g/cm³

Explanation:

Given that:

The radius (r) of a rhodium atom = 135 pm

The atomic mass of rhodium = 102.90 amu

For a face-centered cubic unit cell,

$r = \dfrac{a}{2\sqrt{2}}$

where;

a = edge length.

Making "a" the subject of the formula:

$a = 2 \sqrt{2} \times r$

$a = 2 \times 1.414 \times 135 \ pm$

a = 381.8 pm

to cm, we get:

a = 381.8 × 10⁻¹⁰ cm

However, recall that:

$density \ of \ unit \ cell = \dfrac{mass \ of \ unit \ cell}{volume \ of \unit \ cell}$

where;

mass of unit cell = mass of atom × numbers of atoms per unit cell

Also;

$mass\ of\ atom =\dfrac{ atomic \ mass}{Avogadro \ number}$

$mass\ of\ atom =\dfrac{ 102.9}{6.023 \times 10^{23}}$

Recall also that number of atoms in a unit cell for a face-centered cubic = 4

So;

$mass \ of \ unit \ cell= \dfrac{102.90}{6.023 \times 10^{23}}\times 4$

mass of unit cell = 6.83380375 × 10⁻²² g

$Density \ of \ unit \ cell = \dfrac{6.83380375 \times 10^{-22}}{(381.8\times 10^{-10})^3}$

Density of unit cell ( rhodium) = 12.279 g/cm³

Your teacher asks you to design an experiment that shows how plants respond to changes in their environment. You have two identi

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

1. Make observations.

Determine whether the plant grown under the white light bulb or the plant grown under the red light bulb grew better.

Observations are anything we notice which lead to a question in our mind.

2. Ask a question.

Do plants grow as well under a different color of light?

As this is a question being asked, hence it will be the question for the scientific method of research.

3. Test the hypothesis.

Put one plant under a white light bulb, and place the other plant under a red light bulb. Measure the growth of the two plants.

To test the hypothesis, experiments are performed. This is the experiment.

4. Analyze the results, and make a conclusion.

Plants grow well under sunlight or a light bulb with a hot, white light.

After the experiments, the results are compiled and a conclusion is drawn.

5. Test or modify.

If you observe no change, repeat the experiment with different colors of light bulbs. If there is a change, repeat the experiment for one or two more trials to ensure that the color of the light bulb contributes to the change.

If our hypothesis does not come out to be true, then another hypothesis can be generated and tests be done for it.

The decomposition of methanol, ch3oh(g), to form ch4(g) and o2(g) absorbs 252.8 kj of heat per mole of oxygen formed. write a ba

Svetllana [295]

The thermochemical equation is the chemical equation including the net change of enthalpy (heat).

The chemical equation for the decomposition of methanol to form methane and oxygen is:

2CH3OH --> 2CH4 + O2

The thermochemical equation is:

2CH3OH ---> 2CH4 + O2 - 252.8 kJ

Note that the heat is placed as negative at the right side because it is absorbed during the decomposition, so the environment will have 252.8 kJ less per each mole of O2 produced.

You can equivalently write:

2CH3OH + 252.8 kJ --> 2CH4 + O2
