In 2013 the world consumption of oil was estimated at 3.3 ´ 1010 barrels per year. The world reserves of oil in 2013 were estima

ted as 1.324 ´ 1012 barrels. Estimate how many years the current reserves of oil will last assuming that consumption remains at the 2013 rate.

Answer:

  about 37 years

Explanation:

If 100% of the estimated reserves are used at the current rate, it will take ...

  (1.234·10^12 bbl)/(3.3·10^10 bbl/yr) = 37.4 yr

It will take about 37 years to deplete the reserves.

Draw the structure of a compound with molecular formula c5h12 that exhibits only one kind of proton (all 12 protons are chemical
Sophie [7]
The middle carbon is 4-degree since it is attached to 4 carbons. All other carbons are 1-degree since they are attached to only 1 carbon. 

Hydrogens attached with 1-degree carbon are all same. Hydrogen are often refereed to as protons. No carbon is attached to 4-degree carbon. So all hydrogens in this structure are same.

This structure is called  NeoPentane

How many grams of sulfur must be burned to give 100.0 g of So2
andriy [413]

Answer:

50 g of S are needed

Explanation:

To star this, we begin from the reaction:

S(s) + O₂ (g) →  SO₂ (g)

If we burn 1 mol of sulfur with 1 mol of oxygen, we can produce 1 mol of sulfur dioxide. In conclussion, ratio is 1:1.

According to stoichiometry, we can determine the moles of sulfur dioxide produced.

100 g. 1mol / 64.06g = 1.56 moles

This 1.56 moles were orginated by the same amount of S, according to stoichiometry.

Let's convert the moles to mass

1.56 mol . 32.06g / mol = 50 g

Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 82 years, its mass decreases by half. Given that the initial mass of a sample
lesantik [10]

Answer: 17 years

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics  for radioactive substance is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.693}{82years}=8.4\times 10^{-3}years^{-1}

b) for 8900 g of the mass of the sample to reach  7700 grams

t=\frac{2.303}{8.4\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{8900}{7700}

t=17years

Thus it will take 17 years

How many g i2 should be added to 750g ccl4 to prepare a 0.200m solution?
vesna_86 [32]
<span>There are a number of ways to express concentration of a solution. This includes molality. Molality is expressed as the number of moles of solute per mass of the solvent. We calculate as follows:

0.200 mol I2 / kg CCl4 ( .750 kg CCl4 ) ( 253.809 g I2 / mol I2) = 38.07 g I2 needed

Hope this helps.

The molecular weight of a gas is ________ g/mol if 6.7 g of the gas occupies 6.3 l at stp.
PIT_PIT [208]
At STP, also known as standard temperature and pressure, 1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L. Since we are given with the volume of 6.3L, we calculate the amount of gas in mol. 
                               n = (6.3L)/ (22.4L/mol) = 0.28125 mol
We are given with the mass of 6.7 g. Therefore, the molar mass or molecular weight of the gas is equal to,
                                          6.7g/0.28125 mol = 23.82 g/mol
