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.

Two students titrated a 25.0 mL aliquot of pear juice with 0.107 M NaOH to the phenolphthalein end point. The initial buret read
Olin [163]

Answer:

0.363g citric acid

Explanation:

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) reacts with acids, thus:

NaOH + H⁺ → H₂O + Na⁺

The volume of titration is:

18.39mL - 0.73mL = 17.66mL

Moles of this volume in 0.107M NaOH are:

0.01766L × (0.107 mol / L) = 0.00189mol NaOH ≡ mol citric acid<em> -Assuming the only acid in pear juice is citric acid-</em>

As molar mass of citric acid is 192.124g/mol:, Mass of citric acid is:

0.00189mol citric acid × (192.124g / mol) = <em>0.363g citric acid</em>

I hope it helps!

Consider the two facts below:
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

A. There is more dissolved oxygen in colder waters than in warm water.

D. If ocean temperature rise, then the risk to the fish population increases.

Explanation:

Conclusion that can be drawn from the two facts stated above:

*Dissolved oxygen is essential nutrient for fish survival in their aquatic habitat.

*Dissolved oxygen would decrease as the temperature of aquatic habit rises, and vice versa.

*Fishes, therefore, would thrive best in colder waters than warmer waters.

The following are scenarios that can be explained by the facts given and conclusions arrived:

A. There is more dissolved oxygen in colder waters than in warm water (solubility of gases decreases with increase in temperature)

D. If ocean temperature rise, then the risk to the fish population increases (fishes will thrive best in colder waters where dissolved oxygen is readily available).

gavmur [86]

Anna lives in a city that is part of the tropical climate types. It has a constantly warm weather, and thus higher humidity, and according to the annual rainfall, it is most probably a rainfall that appears seasonally, not throughout the whole year.

Tim, on the other hand, lives in a city that is part of the dry climate types. It is most probably a place that is deep into the mainland, like the cold deserts of Central Asia, where the temperatures in the summer are high, and in winter are very low. Because of the distance from the sea, the rainfall doesn't reach this places, so they are very dry, and only have symbolic amount of annual rainfall.

Consider a beaker of water sitting on the pan of an electronic scale that has been tared. A metal weight hanging from a string i
natka813 [3]

Answer:

See explanation below for answers

Explanation:

We know that the balance is tared, so the innitial weight would be zero. Now, let's answer this by parts.

a) mass of displaced water.

In this case all we need to do is to substract the 0.70 with the 0.13 g. so:

mW = 0.70 - 0.13

mW = 0.57 g of water

b) Volume of water.

In this case, we have the density of water, so we use the formula for density and solve for volume:

d = m/V

V = m/d

Replacing:

Vw = 0.57/0.9982

Vw = 0.5710 mL of water

c) volume of the metal weight

In this case the volume would be the volume displaced of water, which would be 0.5710 mL

d) the mass of the metal weight.

In this case, it would be the mass when the metal weight hits the bottom which is 0.70 g

e) density.

using the above formula of density we calculate the density of the metal

d = 0.70 / 0.5710

d = 1.2259 g/mL
