Chemistry
1 answer:
Vanyuwa [196]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

<em>What is atmospheric pressure? -------> Atmospheric pressure is a force in an area pushed against a surface by the weight of the atmosphere of Earth, a layer of air.</em>

<em>Why does the atmosphere exert pressure? -------> Because gas particles in the air—like particles of all fluids—are constantly moving and bumping into things, so they exert pressure. </em>

<em>What is the value of atmospheric pressure at sea level, in newtons per square centimeter? -------> Atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 10 N/cm2 or 100 kPa or about 10 m of water or about 760 mm of mercury, but varies with the weather, and of course altitude.</em>

<em>I hope this helps and have a great day!</em>

Why is large-scale nuclear fission a rare phenomenon on Earth? A. There isn't enough energy to start a chain reaction in nature.
siniylev [52]

The answer is; C

The radioisotopes in the interior of the earth are not in pure form and have many embedded impurities and are interspersed. Therefore when a neutron is released by a decaying atom, its chances of hitting another radioisotope atom (to continue the chain reaction) are lower than in a manmade nuclear reactor. This way, the radioactive chain reaction in the earth’s interior is not well sustained.

Harman [31]

Answer: 2800 g

Explanation:

CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass = 5 kg = 5000 g

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{5000g}{100g/mol}=50moles

1 mole of CaCO_3 produces = 1 mole of CaO

50 moles of CaCO_3 produces =\frac{1}{1}\times 50=50moles of CaO

Mass of CaO=moles\times {\text{Molar mass}}=50moles\times 56g/mole=2800g

2800 g of CaO is produced from 5.0 kg of limestone.
