Explain why liquid freshwater is considered a limited resource.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Freshwater is such a limited resource because there is such a little amount of freshwater found on Earth. About 77% of fresh water on Earth is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. Because of this, there is very little fresh water available for humans to use.

Explanation: Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Freshwater is a scarce resource, making up just around 3% of the total amount of water on Earth. Although freshwater is regarded as a renewable resource, certain areas utilize more freshwater than can be replaced by natural processes.

There is a very small amount of fresh water on Earth, making it a scarce resource. The polar ice caps and glaciers contain around 77% of the fresh water on Earth. This results in a relatively limited supply of fresh water for human use.

Since freshwater only accounts for around 3% of the total amount of water on Earth, it is a limited resource.

Answer:

Molecules are made of two or more atoms

Molecules are made of atoms of the same element or different elements.

Molecules range in size.

Explanation:

A molecule is formed whenever two or more atoms combine. Hence we can define a molecule as a combination of two or more elements that are combined chemically and can not be separated by any physical means.

Molecules may be composed of the same atoms as in O2, F2 etc or different atoms as in CO2, H2O, etc.

The sizes of molecules differ. Some molecules are quite small in size while others are quite large in size.

D. Perpetual motion begins.

Answers

when you rub your hands together that’s mechanical energy. when your hands starts to warm up that is heat energy. so it is called heat energy due to the motion between hands is changed to heat

The statement that describes what happens as you rub your hands together is Kinetic energy is converted to heat energy. The correct option is B.

What is kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy that is used when doing some work. It is possessed when an object is in motion. To move a  body from its resting position to its motion position, kinetic energy is used. When a certain object moves with a certain speed, then it is maintaining its kinetic energy.

When someone is rubbing his hands, it means his hands are in motion, so kinetic energy is in use. Rubbing produced friction which produces heat, so the rubbing hands will convert the kinetic energy into heat energy.

Thus, the correct option is B. Kinetic energy is converted to heat energy.

The combustion reaction for methane is shown below:
CH4 (9) + 2O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + 2H20 (9) + energy
If 64.0 g of methane is reacted with excess oxygen gas, what is
the pressure exerted by water vapor assuming the reaction
went to completion in a 24.0 L engine at 515 K?

Answers

Answer:

P =  14.1 atm    

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of methane = 64 g

pressure exerted by water vapors = ?

Volume of engine = 24.0 L

Temperature = 515 K

Solution:

Chemical equation:

CH₄ + 2O₂      →      CO₂ + 2H₂O + energy

Number of moles of methane:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

number of moles = 64 g/ 16 g/mol

Number of moles = 4 mol

Now we will compare the moles of water vapors and methane.

              CH₄          :            H₂O  

                 1            :             2

                 4            :         2/1×4 = 8 mol

Pressure of water vapors:

PV = nRT

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K

P = 8 mol × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K× 515 K / 24.0 L

P = 338.25 atm.L/ /  24.0 L

P =  14.1 atm

A sample of radium-226 will decay to ¼ of its original amount after 3200 years. What is the half-life of radium-226? _______years

Answers

Answer:

t(half-life) = 1600 yrs

Explanation:

All radio decay follows 1st order kinetics and therefore can be applied to the expression A = A₀e^(-kt)

A = current activity

A₀ = initial activity

k = decay constant

t = time of decay

Half-Life = 0.693/k

k = ln(A/A₀) / -t = ln(0.25) / -3200yrs = 4.33x 10⁻⁴ yrs⁻¹

Half-Life => t(1/2) = (0.693/4.33 x 10⁻⁴)yrs⁻¹ = 1600 yrs.

The Big Bang theory is used to explain the origins of the universe. Why is this called a theory and NOT a law?

Answers

Answer:

It's called a theory because it has not been proven yet. so we can not claim it to be a fact without proof.

Answer: There is no concrete evidence.

Explanation: If we could do an experiment and create the Big Bang and watch it happen and study it, it would be law. It's for the same reason that evolution is considered a theory. We are not watching it take place and there is no eye witness account of evolution happening because evolution happens over millions and millions of years. If we could sit here and watch the universe be created without need for simulations or theories, then it would be law.

Say I grab a bunch of aluminum foil (9.5g) and ball it up. Aluminum has a specific heat of .9J/g*C. How much would the aluminum’s temperature change if I added 67Joules of energy (Q) to it?

Answers

Answer:

ΔT = 0.78 °C

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Al = 9.5 g

Specific heat capacity of Al = 0.9 J/g.°C

Temperature change = ?

Heat added = 67 J

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

67 J = 9.5 g × 0.9 j/g.°C × ΔT

67 J = 85.5 j/°C × ΔT

ΔT = 67 J  /  85.5 j/°C

ΔT = 0.78 °C

O Na+1 and O-2

Answers

Answer: The correct answer is option A. [tex]Na^+\text{ and }Cl^-[/tex]

Explanation:

An ionic compound is defined as the compound formed by the complete transfer of electrons from one element (forming cation) to another element (forming anion)

Sodium (Na) is an element having atomic number 11 and its electronic configuration is [tex]1s^22s^22p^63s^1[/tex]

It will loose 1 electron to form [tex]Na^+[/tex] ion (cation)

Chlorine (Cl) is an element having atomic number 17 and its electronic configuration is [tex]1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5[/tex]

It will gain 1 electron to form [tex]Cl^-[/tex] ion (anion)

The ionic compound so formed will have the chemical formula of NaCl.

Hence, the correct answer is option A. [tex]Na^+\text{ and }Cl^-[/tex]

In Rutherford's Gold foil experiment, were the alpha particles directed to different areas of the gold foil or only the same spot? If the same spot, how did the particles get deflected in different directions sometimes and go through most of the time

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In the Rutherford experiment, alpha particles were directed at the same spot on a thin gold foil.

As the alpha particles hit the foil, most of the alpha particles went through the foil. In Rutherford's interpretation, most of the particles went through because the atom consisted largely of empty space.

However, some of the alpha particles were deflected through large angles, in Rutherford's interpretation, the deflected alpha particles had hit the dense positive core of the atom which he called the nucleus.

This accounted for their scattering through large angles throughout the foil in all directions.

Hexane burns in air to form carbon dioxide and water. The oxygen is store at 40.0 Celsius and at a pressure of 106.6kPa. How many moles of oxygen will react with 500. Grams of hexane

Answers

Answer: 55.233 moles of oxygen will react with 500 g of hexane.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}[/tex]

Given mass of hexane = 500g

Molar mass of hexane = 86 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]\text{Moles of hexane}=\frac{500g}{86g/mol}\\\\\text{Moles of hexane}=5.814mol[/tex]

The chemical equation for the reaction of burning of hexane in air follows:

[tex]2C_6H_{14}+19O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+14H_2O[/tex]

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of hexane reacts with 19 moles of oxygen

So, 5.814 moles of hexane will react with = [tex]\frac{19}{2}\times 5.814=55.233moles[/tex] of oxygen

Hence, 55.233 moles of oxygen will react with 500 g of hexane.

Sulfur is in Group 16 and exists as S2- ions.

To form a compound containing rubidium and sulfur, the charges of the ions must be equal.

Therefore there are 2 rubidium and 1 sulfur atoms.

=> Chemical formula is Rb2S.

Sodium is also in Group 1 and exists as Na+ ions.

Oxygen is also in Group 16 and exists as O2- ions.

Therefore there are 2 sodium and 1 oxygen atoms.

=> Chemical formula is Na2O.

The chemical formula of the compounds form are as follows;

For Rubidium and sulfur; Rb2S

For Sodium and oxygen; Na20

Discussion:

Rubidium, Rb is in Group 1 and ionises as Rb+ ions.

Sulfur, S is in Group 16 and ionises as S2- ions.

To form a compound between rubidium and sulfur, the net charge must be zero

As a result, we need 2 rubidium and 1 sulfur atoms.

Chemical formula is therefore; Rb2S.

Similarly, Sodium, Na is in Group 1 and ionises as Na+ ions.

Oxygen, O is in Group 16 and ionises as O2- ions.

To form a compound between Sodium and Oxygen, the net charge must be zero

As a result, we need 2 Sodium and 1 Oxygen atoms.
