Explain in your own words, why can’t we predict earthquakes?

Answers

Answer 1
There is currently no way to reliably predict when an earthquake will happen, its strength or length. Earthquakes can vary in their magnitude, the size of the earthquake at its source, and length, lasting from seconds to minutes.

Research has shown, that shaking of an earthquake displays a characteristic pattern. After the first tremors start, building up in intensity, a peak is reached, followed by a fading shaking. Large and small earthquakes start the same way, but there is no way to say when the peak, the maximal magnitude of the quake, is reached.

What is the oxidation half-reaction for this unbalanced redox equation? cr2o72– + fe2+ → cr3+ + fe3+ cr3+ → cr2o72– cr2o72– → cr3+ fe3+ → fe2+ fe2+ → fe3+?

Answers

Answer:

6Fe^2+(aq) -------> 6Fe^3+(aq) + 6e

Explanation:

The balanced oxidation half equation is;

6Fe^2+(aq) -------> 6Fe^3+(aq) + 6e

A redox reaction is actually an acronym for oxidation-reducation reaction. Since the both reactions are complementary, there can't be oxidation without reduction and there can't be reduction without oxidation.

The main characteristic of redox reactions is that electrons are transferred in the process. The number of electrons transferred is usually deduced from the balanced reaction equation. For this reaction, the balanced overall reaction equation is;

Cr2O7^2–(aq) + 6Fe^2+(aq) +14H^+(aq)→ 2Cr^3+(aq) + 6Fe^3+ (aq) + 7H2O(l)

It is clear from the equation above that six electrons were transferred. Thus six Fe^2+ ions lost one electron each in the oxidation half equation as shown in the balanced oxidation half equation above.

A city is concerned about global warming and smog. It wants to reduce the impact of its use of fossil fuels. Explain how the city could use technology to reduce fossil-fuel use by changing (a) its transportation, (b) its buildings, and (c) services for city residents

Answers

Answer:

a) Increasing the toll for non carpoolers will motivate people to carpool and therefore will decrease the number of cars in the road burning fossil fuels.

b) Tax breaks for buildings that use solar panels for energy. This reduces fossil fuels burned for electricity.

c) The city can increase the amount of city transportation available. While this may seem counterproductive because the amount of buses or trains or boats burning fossil fuels increases, by doing this more people will have easy access to public transportation and it has been shown that public transportation is more effective in reducing fossil fuel usage per head. Providing more options of public transportation will increase their usage and therefore will over decrease the amount of fossil fuel burned by individiuals which will overall decrease fossil fuels burning.

Of these four liquids, which has the lowest viscosity? options: A. Pancake syrup at room temperature B. Motor oil that is in the refrigerator C.Liquid mercury at room temperature D. A glass of lemonade at room temperature

Answers

Answer: B. Motor oil that is in the refrigerator

Explanation:

Viscosity can be defined as the resistance provided by the fluid against its movement or flow. It restricts the resistance to change in shape or movement of fluid.  The water has high viscosity as the water molecules do not restrict movement on the surface.

According to the given problem, motor oil has lowest viscosity because it may contain heavy hydrocarbons, which may restrict its flow also when kept in refrigerator, the bonds between hydrocarbons get compact hence, viscosity decreases.

Answer:

Option C, .Liquid mercury at room temperature

Explanation:

The viscosity of liquid mercury at room temperature is 1.526 cP. While the visocsity of lemonade at room temperature ranges between 15.10 to 17.44 cP. Viscosity of Motor oil kept in the refrigerator is equal to 1328.0 cP. And Viscosity of Pancake syrup at room temperature  is 5,000 cp. Hence, out of all the four liquids, mercury has the lowest viscosity

Hence, option C is correct

Using the equation below, calculate the approximate moles of oxygen gas (O2) required to completely react with 719.68 moles of aluminum (Al). 4Al (s) + 3O2(g) -----> 2Al2O3(s)

Answers

Answer:

539.76 moles of O₂

Explanation:

Equation of reaction:

4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

From the equation of reaction above, 4 moles of Al will react with 3 moles of O₂

We can use mole-concept to find the number of moles of O₂.

4 moles of Al = 3moles of O₂

719.68 moles of Al = x moles of O₂

X = (3 × 719.68) / 4

X = 2159.04 / 4

X = 539.76 moles

539.76 moles of O₂ will react with 719.68 moles of Al

Answer:

[tex]n_{O_2}=959.57molO_2[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the reaction:

[tex]4Al (s) + 3O_2(g) \rightarrow 2Al_2O_3(s)[/tex]

Since aluminum and oxygen are in a 4:3 molar ratio, we compute the moles of oxygen that completely react as shown below:

[tex]n_{O_2}=719.68molAl*\frac{3molO_2}{4molAl} \\\\n_{O_2}=959.57molO_2[/tex]

what is the mass of 7.525 x10^24 particles of sulfur difluoride SF2?

Answers

Answer:

Mass will be equal to 874.56 gram

Explanation:

Molar mass of sulfur = 32 u

Molar mass of Florine = 19 u

Therefore molar mass of [tex]SF_2[/tex] [tex]=32+2\times 19=70u[/tex]

So mass of [tex]6.023\times 10^{23}[/tex] particle is 70 gram

Therefore mass of 1 particle

[tex]=\frac{70}{6.023\times 10^{23}}=11.62\times 10^{-23}g[/tex]

Therefore mass of [tex]7.525\times 10^{24}[/tex] particle is

[tex]7.525\times 10^{24}\times 11.62\times 10^{-23}=874.56gram[/tex]

The pressure of a gas in a cylinder when it is heated to a temperature of 250k is 1.5 atm. What was the initial temperature of the gas if it’s initial pressure was 1 atm?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]T1=166.66K[/tex]

Explanation:

According to Gay-Lussac’s law simply states that the ratio of the initial pressure and temperature is equal to the ratio of the final pressure and temperature for a gas of a fixed provided that the mass is kept at a constant volume.

Given:

Initial pressure, P1 = 1 atm

Final pressure, P2 = 1.5 atm

Final temperature, T2 = 250 K

The law can be applied using the below formula

P1T2 = P2T1

Then,

T1 = (P1T2)/P1 = (1*250)/(1.5) = 166.66 Kelvin.

[tex]T1=166.66K[/tex]

:

Answer:

[tex]T_1=166.7K[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by applying the Gay-Lussac's law which help us to understand the pressure-temperature gas behavior via a directly proportional relationship:

[tex]\frac{P_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2}{T_2}[/tex]

In such a way, as we are asked to compute the initial temperature knowing the initial pressure and final both temperature and pressure, so we solve for it:

[tex]T_1=\frac{T_2P_1}{P_2}=\frac{250K*1atm}{1.5atm} \\\\T_1=166.7K[/tex]

a) Balance the equation below.
Hg(ONC)2 -----------> Hg + N2 + CO

b.) After decomposition, if you are left with 50.2g of CO, how many grams of mercury fulminate did you start with? (Hint: This problem asks about how many grams of reactant we start with, you can do the problem the same way as if CO was the reactant and Hg(ONC)2 was the product.)

Answers

Answer:

254.7 g

Explanation:

Hg(ONC)2 -----------> Hg + N2 + 2CO

In every problem of stoichiometry, we must commence with writing the balanced reaction equation as a guide to our calculation. Once we have written the reaction equation, we can now proceed with the solution.

Amount of CO produced= mass of CO produced/ molar mass of CO

Molar mass of CO = 28 gmol-1

Mass of CO produced= 50.2g

Amount of CO produced= 50.2g/28gmol-1

Amount of CO produced= 1.79 moles of CO

From the reaction equation:

1 mole of Hg(ONC)2 produced 2 moles of CO

x moles of Hg(ONC)2 will produce 1.79 moles of CO

x= 1.79 × 1 / 2

x= 0.895 moles of Hg(ONC)2

Molar mass of Hg(ONC)2 = 284.624 g/mol

Mass of Hg(ONC)2 = number of moles × molar mass = 0.895 moles × 284.624 g/mol

Mass of Hg(ONC)2 = 254.7 g

calculate the density of a solid that has a volume of 2cm3 and a mass of 3g

Answers

Answer:

The density is 6

Explanation:

p = m × v

p = 3 × 2

p = 6

Hope this helped! :)

The density of the substance depends on the mass and the volume of the substance or object. It is given by the ratio of mass and volume. The density of 3 gm solid is 1.5 g/cm³.

What is density?

In chemistry and physics, density is a quantitative measurement that tells about the tightness of the substance packed in an area. It relates to two parameters that include mass and volume.

The density can be said to have a proportion of mass to the volume of the substance. The mass can be in grams or kilograms, while volume can be in a liter, cubic meter, and cubic centimeter.

Given,

Mass of solid (M) = 3 gm

The volume of solid (V) = 2 cm³

Density (ρ) is calculated as:

ρ = M ÷ V

= 3 ÷ 2

= 1.5 gm/cm³

Therefore, 1.5 gm/cm³ is the density of 3 gm solid.
