Answer:

heavier gases - sank to the surface

lighter gases - escaped into space

oxygen - produced through photosynthesis

carbon dioxide - released by volcanoes

Explanation:

Since the formation of the atmosphere on Earth, there has been constant changes in it, gradually leading to the atmosphere that we have nowadays. In the distant past, the atmosphere was much different, and it took lot of time for it to become what it is. The volcanoes with their activity contributed to constant release of carbon dioxide, resulting in the greenhouse effect. The organisms that are able to perform photosynthesis started to release lot of oxygen into the atmosphere, thus setting up better living conditions. The gravity of our planet contributed to the vertical distribution of the gasses, with the heavier being lower, and the lighter ones being further up or released into space.

An important reaction sequence in the industrial production of nitric acid is the following: N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g) 4NH3(g) +
frutty [35]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 50 moles of O₂

Explanation:

Balanced Chemical reactions

1.-                 N₂(g)  +  3H₂ (g)   ⇒   2NH₃ (g)

2.-                4NH₃ (g) + 5O₂(g)  ⇒  4NO (g)  +  6H₂O (l)

moles of N₂(g) = 20 moles

moles of O₂(g) = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the moles of NH₃

                     1 mol of N₂ ------------- 2 moles of NH₃

                   20 moles of N₂ ---------  x

                     x = (20 x 2) / 1

                     x = 40 moles of NH₃

2.- Calculate the moles of O₂

                4 moles of NH₃ -------------- 5 O₂

               40 moles of NH₃ ------------  x

                    x = (40 x 5) / 4

                    x = 200 / 4

                    x = 50 moles of O₂

How many liters of cane juice is needed to supply 5g sucrose if cane juice contains 12% sucrose
pickupchik [31]

Given parameters:

Mass of sucrose  = 5g

Density of sucrose  = 1.12g/mL

Percentage of sucrose per liter of cane juice  = 12%

Unknown:

Volume of cane juice needed = ?

We need to establish the volume - density relationship. Density is the mass of a substance per unit volume.

Mathematically;

                Density  = \frac{mass}{volume}

Now solve for the volume of sucrose;

                  1.12g/mL = \frac{5}{Volume}

       Volume  = \frac{5}{1.12}    =  4.46mL   = 4.46 x 10⁻³L since 1000mL  = 1L

Since 12% of 1 liter of cane juice is sucrose;

                    12% of  x  liter of cane juice  = 4.46 x 10⁻³L

                   Volume of cane juice  = 4.46 x 10⁻³ x \frac{100}{12}   = 0.037L

Volume of cane juice is  0.037L

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The cell reaction reaches equilibrium quickly and the cell emf becomes zero.

Explanation:

The purpose of a salt bridge is not to move electrons from the electrolyte, its main function is to maintain charge balance because the electrons are moving from one-half cell to the other.

A solution of a salt that dissociates easily is normally used. Water is ineffective at functioning as a salt bridge. Hence the effect stated in the answer.
