Answer:

The carbon footprint of one plastic bottle of mass 23.5 g is 34.390 g.

Explanation:

The carbon footprint of one plastic bottle can be estimated by simple rule of three. That is:

x = \frac{23.5\,g}{4100\,g}\times 6000\,g

x = 34.390\,g

The carbon footprint of one plastic bottle of mass 23.5 g is 34.390 g.

kaheart [24]
Aluminum has a chemical formula of Al, while diatomic bromine has a chemical formula of Br₂. The balanced chemical reaction is shown below:

<em>2 Al (s) + 3 Br₂ (l) → 2 AlBr₃ (s)</em>

The solid product is called Dibromoaluminum. The stoichiometric coefficients are used to balance the reaction to obey the Law of Conservation of Mass.

Check 0/1 ptRetries 5 Element R has three isotopes. The isotopes are present in 0.0825, 0.2671, and 0.6504 relative abundance. I
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Atomic mass = 127.198 amu

Explanation:

The average atomic mass is obtained by summing the masses of the isotopes each multiplied by its abundance.

Atomic mass = (97.62 * 0.0825) + (109.3 * 0.2671) + (138.3 * 0.6504)

Atomic mass = 8.05365 +  29.19403 + 89.95032

Atomic mass = 127.198 amu

In a few sentences, describe the molecular polarity and the intermolecular forces present in ammonium lauryl sulfate.
Sergio [31]

Answer:

A polar molecule is a molecule in which one end of the molecule is slightly positive, while the other end is slightly negative. A diatomic molecule that consists of a polar covalent bond, such as HF, is a polar molecule. The two electrically charged regions on either end of the molecule are called poles, similar to a magnet having a north and a south pole. A molecule with two poles is called a dipole. Hydrogen fluoride is a dipole. A simplified way to depict polar molecules is pictured below When placed between oppositely charged plates, polar molecules orient themselves so that their positive ends are closer to the negative plate and their negative ends are closer to the positive plate

Experimental techniques involving electric fields can be used to determine if a certain substance is composed of polar molecules and to measure the degree of polarity.

For molecules with more than two atoms, the molecular geometry must also be taken into account when determining if the molecule is polar or nonpolar. is a comparison between carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a linear molecule. The oxygen atoms are more electronegative than the carbon atom, so there are two individual dipoles pointing outward from the C atom to each O atom. However, since the dipoles are of equal strength and are oriented in this way, they cancel each other out, and the overall molecular polarity of CO2 is zero.

Water is a bent molecule because of the two lone pairs on the central oxygen atom. The individual dipoles point from the H atoms toward the O atom. Because of the shape, the dipoles do not cancel each other out, and the water molecule is polar. In the figure, the net dipole is shown in blue and points upward.

Some other molecules are shown below (Figure below). Notice that a tetrahedral molecule such as CH4 is nonpolar. However, if one of the peripheral H atoms is replaced by another atom that has a different electronegativity, the molecule becomes polar. A trigonal planar molecule (BF3) may be nonpolar if all three peripheral atoms are the same, but a trigonal pyramidal molecule (NH3) is polar.

At 4.00 L, an expandable vessel contains 0.864 mol of oxygen gas. How many liters of oxygen gas must be added at constant temper
fgiga [73]

Answer:

We have to add 2.30 L of oxygen gas

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Initial volume = 4.00 L

Number of moles oxygen gas= 0.864 moles

Temperature = constant

Number of moles of oxygen gas increased to 1.36 moles

Step 2: Calculate new volume

V1/n1 = V2/n2

⇒V1 = the initial volume of the vessel = 4.00 L

⇒n1 = the initial number of moles oxygen gas = 0.864 moles

⇒V2 = the nex volume of the vessel

⇒n2 = the increased number of moles oxygen gas = 1.36 moles

4.00L / 0.864 moles = V2 / 1.36 moles

V2 = 6.30 L

The new volume is 6.30 L

Step 3: Calculate the amount of oxygen gas we have to add

6.30 - 4.00 = 2.30 L

We have to add 2.30 L of oxygen gas
