how do meteror showers happen

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A meteor shower happens when Earth passes through the path of a comet. When this happens, the bits of comet debris, most no larger than a grain of sand, create streaks of light in the night sky as they burn up in Earth's atmosphere. Bits of debris which enter Earth's atmosphere are called meteors.

If you want to make more shells (CaCO3) then which direction should the reaction proceed?

Answers

Answer:

The reaction will proceed in the reverse direction

Explanation:

Now consider the equation;

CaCO3(s) ⇄CO2(g) + CaO(s)

This is a reversible reaction. The reaction could proceed in either the forward or the reverse reaction depending on the conditions of the reaction. Under certain conditions, the forward reaction is favoured, under certain conditions, the reverse reaction is favoured.

The direction in which the reaction proceeds depends on the desired products as the equilibrium position could be manipulated at will by altering the reaction conditions. If the desire is to produce more CaCO3, then the equilibrium position is manipulated so that it shifts towards the left hand side. This implies that the reverse reaction is favoured.

Consider the chemical equations shown here.


P4(s)+3O2(g)--->P4O6(s) ΔH1 = -1,640.1 kJ
P4O10(s) → P4(s) + 5O2(g) ΔH2 = 2,940.1 kJ
What is the overall enthalpy of reaction for the equation shown below?

Round the answer to the nearest whole number.

P4O6(s) + 2O2(g) --->P4O10(s)

Answers

Answer:

-1300. kJ  

Explanation:

We have two equations:

1. P₄(s)       +3O₂(g) ⟶ P₄O₆(s);                 ΔH₁  = -1640.1 kJ

2. P₄O₁₀(s)               ⟶ P₄(s)      + 5O₂(g); ΔH₂ =  2940.1 kJ

From these, we must devise the target equation:

3. P₄O₆(s)  + 2O₂(g) ⟶ P₄O₁₀(s);               ΔH = ?

The target equation has P₄O₆(s) on the left, so you reverse Equation 1.

When you reverse an equation, you reverse the sign of its ΔH.

4. P₄O₆(s)                 ⟶ P₄(s)       +3O₂(g); ΔH₁  =  1640.1 kJ

Equation 4 has P₄ on the right. That is not in the target equation.

You need an equation with P₄ on the left, so you reverse Equation 2.  

5. P₄(s)      + 5O₂(g)  ⟶ P₄O₁₀(s);               ΔH₂ = -2940.1 kJ

Now, you add equations 4 and 5, cancelling species that appear on opposite sides of the reaction arrows.

When you add equations, you add their ΔH values.

You get the target equation 3:

4. P₄O₆(s)                      ⟶ P₄(s)        + 3O₂(g);      ΔH₁ =   1640.1 kJ

5. P₄(s)       + 2(5)O₂(g) ⟶ P₄O₁₀(s);                       ΔH₂ = -2940.1 kJ

3. P₄O₆(s)   + 2O₂(g)     ⟶ P₄O₁₀(s);                       ΔH   = -1300.  kJ

ΔH for the reaction is -1300. kJ

Answers

Answer: 12 ( answer not among the option)

Explanation:

From the equation of reaction; P4O10+ H2O     ----->    H3PO4, it is unbalanced.

One can only get the exact number of ''Hydrogen atom'' if it is well balanced.

Adding '4' to H3PO4 on the RHS and '6' to H2O on LHS of the equation would give a balanced equation such as;

P4O10 + 6H2O     ----->   4 H3PO4

Therefore the number of hydrogen atoms found on the reactant is 12.

58.5 grams of NaCl is dissolved in 0.5 liters of water. The molarity of the solution is _____.

b. 2 M
c. 29.25 M
d. 117 M

Answers

D Explanation:
Molar mass of NaCl = (23 g/mol) + (35.5 g/mol) = 58.5 g/mol
Moles of
NaCl
dissolved
=
10 g
58.5 g/mol
=
117 mol

58.5 grams of NaCl is dissolved in 0.5 liters of water, then the molarity of the solution is 2M.

What is molarity?

Molarity of any solution is define as the number of moles of solute present in per liter of solution and it is represented as:

M = n/V, where

V = volume of solution = 0.5 L

n is moles and will be calculated as:

n = W/M, where

W = given mass of NaCl = 58.5g

M = molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

n = 58.5/58.44 = 1 mole

Molarity will be represented as:

M = 1/0.5 = 2 M

Hence required molarity of NaCl is 2M.

Calculate the molarity of a solution containing 0.2 mol of sodium hydroxide dissolved in 0.5 L of water. Be sure to report your answer in proper significant figures and use the appropriate symbol.

Answers

Answer:

The molarity is 0.4 [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex]

Explanation:

The Molarity (M) or Molar Concentration is a concentration unit that indicates the number of moles of the solute per liter of solution. In other words, molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a given volume.

The Molarity of a solution is determined by the expression:

[tex]Molarity (M)=\frac{number of moles of solute}{volume}[/tex]

Molarity is expressed in units ([tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex]).

In this case:

number of moles of solute (sodium hydroxide)= 0.2 molesvolume= 0.5 L

Replacing:

[tex]Molarity (M)=\frac{0.2 moles}{0.5 L}[/tex]

Molarity= 0.4 [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex]

The molarity is 0.4 [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex]

A sample of gas at 313 K and 4.95 atm occupies 85.62 L of space. Which
variable is the volume (V)? (Note: You are not solving the problem, just
choose the correct variable.)

Answers

Answer: 85.62 L represents volume (V).

Explanation:

Volume is defined as the amount or quantity of a given substance or an object.

According to ideal gas equation:

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

P = pressure of gas = 4.95 atm

V = Volume of gas = 85.62 L

n = number of moles

R = gas constant =[tex]0.0821Latm/Kmol[/tex]

T =temperature =[tex]313K[/tex]

Thus 85.62 L represents volume (V).

Why is 1-methylhexane not a legitimate name for a compound?

Answers

Answer:

It is not a legitimate chemical name because the methyl group on carbon 1 increases the length of the carbon chain to seven carbon atoms thus making the parent compound heptane

Explanation:

Chemical compounds are named according to rules in the IUPAC nomenclature.

In naming organic compounds, parts of rules is to find out the parent or root compound. This is determined by finding out the longest carbon chain and then checking if it contains single or multiple bonds.  (that is if it is an alkane- with single bonds, alkene-with double bonds or an alkyne- with triple bonds)

From the question the parent or root name is an alkane containing 6 (Hex-) carbon atoms, while the methyl group is  substituent

(CH₃)-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-CH-CH₃

However the alkyl substituent on carbon 1 increases the the length of the carbon chain to 7 (Hept-) instead of 6. Hence the correct IUPAC nomenclature is heptane and not 1-methylhexane.

A 1.8−mL volume of seawater contains about 4.0 × 10^−10 g of gold. The total volume of ocean water is about 1.5 × 10^21 L. Calculate the total worth of all the gold in the world's oceans if the price of gold is $19.96 per gram answer is in scientific notation

Answers

Answer: $6.653×10^15

Explanation:

Volume of sea water sample = 1.8mL

Mass of gold in sample = 4.0 × 10^-10 g

Total volume of ocean water = 1.5 × 10^21 L

Converting volume of seawater sample into liters :

1.8mL = (1.8/1000)L = 0.0018L = 1.8×10^-3

If volume of gold in ;

1.8×10^-3L = 4 × 10^-10 g

1.5×10^21 L = X

(1.8×10^-3L)X = [(1.5×10^21) × (4×10^-10) ]

X = [1.5×4(10^21-10)] / 1.8×10^-3

X = 6.0(10^11) / 1.8×10^-3

X = 3.333×(10^11+3)

X = 3.333 × 10^14

Cost of world's gold equals

A scuba tank contains a mixture of oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) gas. The oxygen has a partial pressure of PO2=5.62MPa. The total gas pressure is 26.78 MPa. What is the partial pressure of nitrogen gas in the tank?

Answers

Answer:

21.16 MPa

Explanation:

Partial pressure of oxygen = 5.62 MPa

Total gas pressure = 26.78 MPa

But

Total pressure of the gas= sum of partial pressures of all the constituent gases in the system.

This implies that;

Total pressure of the system = partial pressure of nitrogen + partial pressure of oxygen

Hence partial pressure of nitrogen=

Total pressure of the system - partial pressure of oxygen

Therefore;

Partial pressure of nitrogen= 26.78 - 5.62

Partial pressure of nitrogen = 21.16 MPa

Answer:

The partial pressure of Nitrogen gas in the tank = 21.16 MPa.

Explanation:

According to Dalton's Law of partial pressure for gases, the total pressure of a mixture of gas under unchanging conditions is a sum of the partial pressures of each of the individual constituent gas.

The mixture consists of Nitrogen and oxygen gas. Hence, mathematically,

Total Pressure of the mixture = (Partial Pressure of Oxygen gas) + (Partial Pressure of Nitrogen gas)

Total Pressure of the mixture = 26.78 MPa.

Partial Pressure of Oxygen gas = 5.62 MPa.

Partial Pressure of Nitrogen gas = ?

26.78 = 5.62 + (Partial Pressure of Nitrogen gas)

Partial Pressure of Nitrogen gas = 26.78 - 5.62 = 21.16 MPa.

You complete a titration and find that you need 2.5 mL of a 0.1M NaOH to neutralize 250 mL of

the river water.

How many moles of NaOH did you use to neutralize the river water?

Answers

Answer:

0.00025 mole

Explanation:

The number of moles of a substance can be mathematically derived from the following formula

1. mass of substance (in grams)/molar mass of substance (in grams/mole)

2. molarity of substance (in mol/dm3) x volume of substance (in dm3)

In this case, the molarity and volume of NaOH are provided, hence, the second formula will be applicable.

2.5 mL of NaOH was used = 0.0025 dm3

Number of mole of NaOH that was used to neutralize the river water:

  = 0.1 x 0.0025 = 0.00025 mole

The number of mole of NaOH used to neutralize the river water is 0.00025 mole.
