Answer:

Therefore, the partial pressure of oxygen at high altitudes is less than at sea level.

Explanation:

The deep ocean thus has higher oxygen because rates of oxygen consumption are low compared with the supply of cold, oxygen-rich deep waters from polar regions. In the surface layers, oxygen is supplied by exchange with the atmosphere.

Explain whether or not you expect the chaparral biome to be sensitive to the loss of a single species.

aleksley [76]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The chaparral biome is a temperate biome with a characteristic high temperature and dryness during summer and mild rainy winters and springs. The biome can be found in relatively small amounts in the major continents of the world with its rich plant and animal diversity who have successfully adapted to the conditions of the biome.

Due to the high biodiversity of the chaparral biome, one would expect it to be resilient to the loss of a single species. The more the biodiversity of a biome or community, the more resilient such biome or community would be to the loss of species and lower the biodiversity, the more sensitive the community would be to the loss of species.

Ghella [55]

Shells (electrons) - located in the cloud
nucleus- located in the center

Write a molecular equation for the precipitation reaction that occurs (if any) when the following solutions are mixed. If no rea

iragen [17]

Answer :

(A) The balanced molecular equation will be:

$K_2CO_3(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+PbCO_3(s)$

(B) The balanced molecular equation will be:

$Li_2SO_4(aq)+Pb(CH_3COOH)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2LiCH_3COOH(aq)+PbSO_4(s)$

(C) The balanced molecular equation will be:

$Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2S(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+CuS(s)$

(D) The balanced molecular equation will be:

$Sr(NO_3)_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$

Explanation :

Molecular equation : It is defined as a balanced chemical equation where the ionic compounds are expressed in the form of molecules rather than component of ions.

Precipitation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which an insoluble salt formed when two aqueous solutions are combined.

The insoluble salt that settle down in the solution is known an precipitate.

Part A : potassium carbonate and lead(II) nitrate

The balanced molecular equation will be:

$K_2CO_3(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+PbCO_3(s)$

In this reaction, lead carbonate is an insoluble salt and potassium nitrate is a soluble solution.

Part B : lithium sulfate and lead(II) acetate

The balanced molecular equation will be:

$Li_2SO_4(aq)+Pb(CH_3COOH)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2LiCH_3COOH(aq)+PbSO_4(s)$

In this reaction, lead sulfate is an insoluble salt and lithium acetate is a soluble solution.

Part C : copper(II) nitrate and sodium sulfide

The balanced molecular equation will be:

$Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2S(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+CuS(s)$

In this reaction, Cuprous sulfide is an insoluble salt and sodium nitrate is a soluble solution.

Part D : strontium nitrate and potassium iodide

The balanced molecular equation will be:

$Sr(NO_3)_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+SrI_2(aq)$

In this reaction, strontium iodide and potassium nitrate are soluble solution.

$Sr(NO_3)_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$

The molar mass is determined by measuring the freezing point depression of an aqueous solution. A freezing point of -5.20°C is r

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The empirical formula is C2H4O3

The molecular formula is C4H8O6

The molar mass is 152 g/mol

Explanation:

The complete question is: An unknown compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Combustion analysis of the compound gives mass percents of 31.57% C and 5.30% H. The molar mass is determined by measuring the freezing-point depression of an aqueous solution. A freezing point of -5.20°C is recorded for a solution made by dissolving 10.56 g of the compound in 25.0 g water. Determine the empirical formula, molar mass, and molecular formula of the compound. Assume that the compound is a nonelectrolyte.

Step 1: Data given

Mass % of Carbon = 31.57 %

Mass % of H = 5.30 %

Freezing point = -5.20 °C

10.56 grams of the compound dissolved in 25.0 grams of water

Kf water = 1.86 °C kg/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of Carbon

Suppose 31.57% = 31.57 grams

moles C = mass C / Molar mass C

moles C = 31.57 grams / 12.0 g/mol = 2.63 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of Hydrogen:

Moles H = 5.30 grams / 1.01 g/mol

moles H = 5.25 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of Oxygen

Moles O = ( 100 - 31.57 - 5.30) / 16 g/mol

Moles O = 3.95 moles

Step 5: We divide by the smallest number of moles

C: 2.63 / 2.63 = 1 → 2

H: 5.25/2.63 = 2 → 4

O: 3.95/ 2.63 = 1.5 → 3

The empirical formula is C2H4O3

The molar mass of the empirical formula = 76 g/mol

Step 6: Calculate moles solute

Freezing point depression = 5.20 °C = m * 1.86

m = 5.20 / 1.86

m = 2.80 molal = 2.80 moles / kg

2.80 molal * 0.025 kg = 0.07 moles

Step 7: Calculate molar mass

Molar mass = mass / moles

Molar mass = 10.56 grams / 0.07 moles

Molar mass = 151 g/mol

Step 8: Calculate molecular formula

151 / 76 ≈ 2

We have to multiply the empirical formula by 2

2*(C2H4O3) = C4H8O6

The molecular formula is C4H8O6

The molar mass is 152 g/mol
