Answer:

Because photosynthesis ceases due to the lack of sunlight.

Explanation:

Plants typically absorb CO2 and release oxygen, but they also “exhale” CO2, particularly at night, when photosynthesis ceases due to the lack of sunlight. Forests also emit more CO2 when they are stressed by increasing temperatures.

Analysis of skunk spray yields a molecule with 44.77% c, 7.46% h and 47.76% s by mass. what is the empirical formula for this mo

stiv31 [10]

Suppose we have 100 gr of the substance. Then by weight, it would contain 44.77 gr of C, 7.46 gr of H and 47.76 gr of S. We need to look up the atomic weights of these atoms; M_H=1, M_C=12, M_S=32. The following formula holds (where n are the moles of the substance, M its molecular mass and m its mass): n=m/M. Substituting the known quantities for each element, we get that the substance has 3.73 moles of C, 7.46 moles of H and 1.49 moles of S. In the empirical formula for the molecule, all atoms appear an integer amout of times. Hence, for every mole of Sulfur, we have 2.5 moles of C and 5 moles of H (by taking the moles ratios). Thus, for every 2 moles of sulfur, we have 5 moles of C and 10 moles of H. Now that all the coefficients are integer, we have arrived at an empirical formula for the skunk spray agent: $C_5H_{10}S_2$

Nata [24]

Answer:

cuerpo flota o se hunde es su densidad con respecto a la del líquido en que se sumerge. En cambio, una nuez (densidad = 0.5) flotara en ambos líquidos mientras que una piedra (densidad = 2) se hundirá.

Describe the overall enthalpy of the chemical reactants compared to the enthalpy of the chemical products in the combustion of p

Veronika [31]

Answer:

A thermochemical equation for the combustion of propane (C3H8)(C3H8) is written as follows:

C3H8(l)+5O2(g)→3CO2(g)+4H2O(g);ΔH∘rxnC3H8(l)+5O2(g)→3CO2(g)+4H2O(g);ΔHrxn∘ = -2202.0 kJ/mol

The value given for ΔH∘rxnΔHrxn∘ means that:

a. the reaction of one mole of propane absorbs 2202 kJ of energy from the surroundings.

b. the reaction is endothermic.

c. the enthalpy of formation of propane is 2202 kJ/mol.

d. the reaction of one mole of propane releases 2202 kJ of energy to the surroundings.

e. None of these.

To interconvert the concentration units molality (m) and mass percent, you must also know the density of the solution. A) True B

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is option false.

Explanation:

Molality of the solution defined as moles of substance present in 1 kilogram of solvent.

Moles = $\frac{Mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}}$

$Molality=\frac{Moles}{\text{Mass of solvent(kg)}}$

Mass of percent (w/w%) of the solution is defined as amount of solute present in 100 grams of solution.

$(w/w\%)_=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100$

So, if want to inter-convert molality into mass percent we can do that without knowing density of solution.

Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent
