Why were scientists surprised to find coal in the arctic?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

coal is made from compressed plant matter and how exactly did plants grow on the surface of an ocean. (as there is no land mass beneath the arctic.)

Explanation:

it would be like finding a fly in an ice cube to simplify it.

Answer 2

They were surprised to find coal in arctic because ordinarily coal was supposed to be found in warm or hot environments and not cold region like the arctic.

The arctic is located at the far northern part of the world which is characterized by its extreme cold weather.

A limited vegetation of plants such as grasses, mosses and lichens are found in this region irrespective of the extreme cold weather through out the year.

Coal is a type of fuel gotten from fossils and deposits of plant vegetation.

Scientist has discovered that continents do move over time through a process called continental drift. This is the reason why limited vegetaion is found in the arctic leading to the formation of coal.

In the second step, iron(lll) oxide and carbon monoxide react to form Iron and carbon dioxide:
Fe203(s) + 3CO(g) arrow 2Fe(s)+ 3CO2(g)
Suppose the yield of the first step is 71.% and the yield of the second step is 72.%. Calculate the mass of oxygen required to make 7.0 kg of iron.
Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if needed, and is rounded to 2 significant digits.

Answers

Answer:

5.9 kg  

Explanation:

We must work backwards from the second step to work out the mass of oxygen.

1. Second step

Mᵣ:                                     55.84

            Fe₂O₃ + 3CO  ⟶  2Fe  +  3CO₂

m/kg:                                    7.0

(a) Moles of Fe

[tex]\text{Moles of FeO} = \text{7000 g Fe} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Fe}}{\text{55.84 g Fe}} = \text{125 mol Fe}[/tex]

(b) Moles of CO

[tex]\text{Moles of CO} = \text{125 mol Fe} \times \dfrac{\text{3 mol CO}}{\text{2 mol Fe}} = \text{188 mol CO}[/tex]

However, this is the theoretical yield.

The actual yield is 72. %.

We need more CO and Fe₂O₃ to get the theoretical yield of Fe.

(c) Percent yield

[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Percent yield} &=& \dfrac{\text{ actual yield}}{\text{ theoretical yield}} \times 100 \, \%\\\\ 72. \, \% & = & \dfrac{\text{188 mol}}{\text{actual yield}} \times 100 \,\%\\\\0.72 &= &\dfrac{\text{188 mol}}{\text{actual yield}}\\\\\text{Actual yield} & = & \dfrac{\text{188 mol}}{0.72}\\& = & \textbf{261 mol}\\\\\end{array}[/tex]

We must use 261 mol of CO to get 7.0 kg of Fe.

2. First step

Mᵣ:                32.00

            2C   +  O₂   ⟶  2CO

n/mol:                             261

(a) Moles of O₂

[tex]\text{Moles of O}_{2} = \text{261 mol CO} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}_{2}}{\text{2 mol CO}} = \text{131 mol O}_{2}[/tex]

(b) Mass of O₂

[tex]\text{Mass of O}_{2}= \text{131 mol O }_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{32.00 g O}_{2}}{\text{1 mol O}_{2}} = \text{4180 g O}_{2}[/tex]

However, this is the theoretical yield.

The actual yield is 71. %.

We need more C and O₂ to get the theoretical yield of CO.

(c) Percent yield

[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}71. \, \% & = & \dfrac{\text{188 mol}}{\text{actual yield}} \times 100 \,\%\\\\0.71 &= &\dfrac{\text{4180 g}}{\text{actual yield}}\\\\\text{Actual yield} & = & \dfrac{\text{4180 g}}{0.71}\\\\& = & \text{5900 g}\\& = & \textbf{5.9 kg}\\\end{array}[/tex]

We need 5.9 kg of O₂ to produce 7.0 kg of Fe.

Explanation:

1. Trends in atomic size

Atomic size tends to decrease from left to right across the Periodic Table.

You are adding one electron at a time. the electrons repel each other, so the size should increase.

You are also adding a proton to the nucleus. The additional attraction should pull the electrons closer to the nucleus.

The nuclear pull wins, so the atoms get smaller from left to right

Atomic size increases from top to bottom of a Group.

You are adding electrons to an extra shell, so the size should increase.

You are also adding protons to the nucleus, so the size should decrease.

The size of the outer shell wins, so the atomic size increases going down a Group.

2. Lewis structures

(a) Ammonium ion

N is the central atom. The N atom has the positive charge.

(b) Sulfur trioxide

S is the central atom, with a double bond to each of the three O atoms.

(c) Hydrogen cyanide

C is the central atom, with a triple bond to the N atom.

3. COS

The best structure is that of O=C=S. It has no formal charges.

The Lewis structures for the other arrangements have formal charges.

The correct answers of this question is given below.

1. The atomic size increases going down a Group.2. (a) Ammonium ion : The N atom has the positive charge.    (b) Sulfur trioxide : Having double bond to each of the three O    atoms.    (c) hydrogen cyanide : Having a triple bond to the N atom.3. COS and it has no formal charges

Rutherford's experiments showed that the mass of atoms was mostly concentrated in a very small region, with charge equal to the atomic number- the nucleus. He absolutely did not show, nor is it true, that electrons orbit the nucleus as if they were planets. That was a guess people made in trying to figure out how to picture the atom.

63.2 g of BaCl 2 are dissolved in enough water to make a 634 mL solution. What is the molarity?

Answers

Answer:

0.479 M or mol/L

Explanation:

So Molarity is moles/litres of solution...often written as M=mol/L

So here we are given grams of BaCl2 which we have to convert to moles. To convert to moles of BaCl2 we have to divide 63.2 g BaCl2 by molar mass of BaCl2 which is 208.23 g/mol so you get 63.2/208.23 = 0.3035 moles of BaCl2

Second step is converting the 634mL to litres by simply dividing by 1000 because we know 1 litre has 1000ml so 634/1000 = 0.634L

Now we just plug these guys in our molarity formula M=mol/L

M= 0.3035/0.634 = 0.479 M or mol/L

Answer:

Interestingly enough, I'm not getting

0.0341% w/v

either. Here's why.

Start by calculating the percent composition of chlorine,

Cl

, in calcium chloride, This will help you calculate the mass of chloride anions,

Cl

, present in your sample.

To do that, use the molar mass of calcium chloride, the molar mass of elemental chlorine, and the fact that

1

mole of calcium chloride contains

2

moles of chlorine atoms.

×

g mol

g mol

1

100

%

=

63.89% Cl

This means that for every

100 g

of calcium chloride, you get

63.89 g

of chlorine.

As you know, the mass of an ion is approximately equal to the mass of the neutral atom, so you can say that for every

100 g

of calcium chloride, you get

63.89 g

of chloride anions,

Cl

.

This implies that your sample contains

0.543

g CaCl

2

63.89 g Cl

100

g CaCl

2

=

0.3469 g Cl

Now, in order to find the mass by volume percent concentration of chloride anions in the resulting solution, you must determine the mass of chloride anions present in

100 mL

of this solution.

Since you know that

500 mL

of solution contain

0.3469 g

of chloride anions, you can say that

100 mL

of solution will contain

100

mL solution

0.3469 g Cl

500

=

Therefore, you can say that the mass by volume percent concentration of chloride anions will be

If a buffer has an initial pH of 6.34 and the acid has a Ka of 3.46 × 10-4, what is the ratio of conjugate base to weak acid in the buffer system?

Answers

Answer: The ratio of conjugate base to weak acid in the buffer system is 758 : 1

Explanation:

The dissociation constant for  acid = [tex]K_a=3.46\times 10^{-4}[/tex]

pH = 6.34

First we have to calculate the value of [tex]pK_a[/tex].

The expression used for the calculation of [tex]pK_a[/tex] is,

[tex]pK_a=-\log (K_a)[/tex]

Now put the value of [tex]K_a[/tex] in this expression, we get:

[tex]pK_a=-\log (3.46\times 10^{-4})[/tex]

[tex]pK_a=3.46[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the ratio of conjugate base to weak acid in the buffer system

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

[tex]pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[\text {conjugate base}]}{[Acid]}[/tex]

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

[tex]6.34=3.46+\log \frac{[\text {conjugate base}]}{[Acid]}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{[\text {conjugate base}]}{[Acid]}=758[/tex]

Therefore, the ratio of conjugate base to weak acid in the buffer system is 758: 1

Explain the different principles that allow roller coasters to rip and roar around the tracks. In your response, include how energy is transferred back and forth between kinetic and potential.

Answers

Answer:

In the roller coasters the potential energy that is given is the gravitational potential energy, which this energy increases its value as the object moves away from the earth, that is to say, the more height the roller coaster acquires the more gravitational potential energy it will have, and Said train where people usually get on the roller coaster will descend or descend with greater acceleration.

This gravitational potential energy once the mountain begins to descend or descend is converted into kinetic energy

Explanation:

This that we wrote above is considering that the roller coaster does not have curved routes but rectilinear, in the case that it had curved routes, a force would be added in addition to those written that is the centripetal force, it is the same force that appears in the centrifuges or dryers of clothes or the same washing machine. This force, the centripetal force is the force that draws a moving object, in a curvilinear path, towards the center of the curvature.

That is, the masses and charges on the left hand six and the right hand side of the nuclear reaction equation must be exactly the same.

Looking at the nuclear reaction at hand, the total mass on the left hand side has to be 246 while the total charge on the left hand side of the equation will be 98. Coming over to the right hand side, the total masses are also found to be the same as a neutron with no charge and a mass of 1 is produced. Hence the nuclear reaction equation is balanced when an alpha particle (helium nucleus) is substituted for X in the equation.
