Select the item with the highest embodied energy for a typical American. A. Organically grown oranges transported 500 miles by truck B. Pineapple imported by air from Costa Rica C. Sweet corn produced locally using synthetic fertilizer D. Green beans grown in the backyard garden

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B: Pineapple imported by air from Costa Rica

Explanation:

Embodied energy is the total energy that is required for the extraction, processing, manufacture and transportation of materials to its intended usage destination.

This means highest embodied energy will be the work that demands the most energy for extraction, processing, manufacture and transportation of materials to its intended usage destination.

Looking at the options given, the one with the highest embodied energy will be "Pineapple imported by air from Costa Rica". This is because other options are done locally and thus will consume lesser energy and processing time unlike the pineapple that is coming from another country and by air.

what volume (in L) of a 3.95 M potassium chloride solution would be needed to make 325 mL of a 2.76 M solution by dilution

Answers

Explanation:

Moles of KCl in new solution = 0.325dm³ * (2.76mol/dm³) = 0.897mol.

Hence volume needed = 0.897mol / (3.95mol/dm³) = 0.227dm³ or 0.227L.

Which object will require the greatest amount of force to change its motion?
O A. A 72 kg object moving 25 m/s
O B. A 55 kg object moving 32 m/s
OC. A 75 kg object moving 22 m/s
O D. A 63 kg object moving 27 m/s

Answers

A 72 kg object moving 25 m/s will require the greatest amount of force

Further explanation

Given

mass of object and the velocity

Required

the greatest amount of force

Solution

Newton's 2nd law :

∑F = m. a  

F = force, N  

m = mass = kg  

a = acceleration due to gravity, m / s²  

Assuming the object is moving from rest (vo = 0) and the time needed to reach its velocity is the same (delta t = equal), it can be formulated:

[tex]\tt \Sum F=m.\dfrac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}\\\\F=m.\dfrac{v_f}{\Delta t}[/tex]

So the force on an object depends on the product of its mass and velocity

Or if we use the impulse and momentum formula

[tex]\tt F.\Delta t=m(v_f-v_i)\\\\F,\approx m.v_f[/tex]

So that we determine which is the greatest from the multiplication of mass and velocity will produce the greatest force as well

Answer:

7.99 moles of boron

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of B = ?

Number of atoms of B = 4.81 × 10²⁴ atom

Solution:

Avogadro number:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.  The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

4.81 × 10²⁴ atom × 1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

0.799 × 10¹ mol

7.99 moles

A K+ ion is similar to a Cl– ion in that they both have the same A) nuclear charge B) number of electrons C) atomic number D) number of protons

Answers

Answer:

B) number of electrons

Explanation:

The two species:

          K+   and Cl- have the same number of electrons.

A neutral atom of K has 19 electrons

A neutral atom of Cl has 17 electrons

Now,

 To form K+, K will have to lose an electron and then the number of electrons becomes 18

To form Cl-, Cl will have to gain an electrons and then the number of electrons becomes 18

So, therefore, the number of electrons on both species is 18

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

A. conducts electricity in both solid and liquid state.

   Metal

B. conducts electricity in solid state but its electrical conductivity in liquid state is unknown. Also it burns at a vey high temperature to give off carbon dioxide gas.

   Graphite

C. conducts electricity in liquid state but not in solid state

    Ionic compound

D. does not conduct electricity in any state

    Covalent compound

A metal is a substance that conducts both heat and electricity in solid and liquid state. They do this by the presence of free mobile electrons within their atomic space.

Graphite is a non - metal but it has free mobile electrons within its carbon frame work that allows of electrical conduction.

Ionic compounds are conductors only in molten state. In solid state, they do not conduct electricity and are called electrolytes in their liquid or molten form.

Covalent compounds do not ionize in solution and will not have ions which can conduct electric current.

Krypton-76= 14.8 hours
Krypton-81= 2.1 x 10^5 years

Answers

Answer:

Kr-73 = 23.625 sec

Kr-74 = 10.0625 minutes (603.75 seconds)

Kr-76 = 12.95 hours (777 minutes)

Kr-81 = 1.8375 * 10^6 years

Explanation:

What you do is multiply each of those amounts by 7/8.

27 * 7/8 = 189/8 = 23.625

23/2 * 7/8 = 161/16 = 10.0625

74/5 * 7/8 = 518/40 = 259/20 = 12.95

210000 * 7/8 = 1470000/8 = 183750 = 1.8375 * 10^6

molecular structure of water contributes to this property.

vessels are approximately 0.3 mm in diameter.
Part B:
Estimate how tall this species of plant can grow. Explain how the molecular structure of the vessels can
be modified to increase the maximum height of the plant without changing the diameter of the vessels.

Answers

Answer:

Part A

i) A property of water that contributes to its movement through capillary tubes is adhesion, which is the capacity of water to stick to other surfaces

ii) Water has a polar molecular structure as such the hydrogen present in the water molecules form bonds with the oxygen present in the silicon oxide molecules from which the capillary tube is normally made

Part B.

i) From the given graph, the function appears to have a vertical asymptote at x = 0, therefore, the plant can grow infinitely tall

ii) The molecular structure of the vessel can be modified such that the walls incorporate more oxygen molecules per mole which will increase the number and the strength of the hydrogen bond between the water molecules and the walls of the plant vessel and therefore, increase the capillary action, the water height and the maximum height of the tree

What's the balanced equation for Iron and copper (II) sulfate solution.

Answers

Answer:

 2Fe +  3CuSO₄  →  Fe₂(SO₄)₃   +  3Cu

Explanation:

The reactants are:

   Iron  = Fe

  Copper (II) sulfate solution = CuSO₄

The reaction is given as:

            Fe +  CuSO₄  →  Fe₂(SO₄)₃   +  Cu

This is a single displacement reaction;

  Now let us balance the equation;

             aFe +  bCuSO₄  →  cFe₂(SO₄)₃   +  dCu

Conserving Fe;

                       a  = 2c

  Conserving  Cu;

                      b  = d

  Conserving S;

                      b  = 3c

  Conserving O;

                    4b  = 12c  

let b  = 1;

    c = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]  

     d  = 1

     a  = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Multiply through by 3 to get whole numbers;

  a  = 2, b = 3, c  = 1 and d  = 3

           2Fe +  3CuSO₄  →  Fe₂(SO₄)₃   +  3Cu

Calculate the mass of Aluminum Bromide that can be made with 5.6 moles of Aluminum

Answers

The mass of Aluminum tri bromide that can be made with 5.6 moles of Aluminum is 1,492.90 grams.

What is the relation between mass & moles?

Relation between the mass and moles of any substance will be calculated by using the below equation as:

n = W/M, where

W = given massM = molar mass

Given chemical reaction is:
2Al + 3Br₂ → 2AlBr₃

From the stoichiometry of the reaction, it is clear that:

2 moles of Al = produces 2 moles of AlBr₃5.6 moles of Al = produces 2 moles of AlBr₃

Now mass of AlBr₃ will be calculated by using the above equation as:

W = (5.6mol)(266.59g/mol) = 1,492.90g

Hence required mass of AlBr₃ is 1,492.90g.

Technology is the application of knowledge for achieving practical goals in a reproducible way.The word technology can also mean the products resulting from such efforts, including both tangible tools such as utensils or machines, and intangible ones such as software. Technology plays a critical role in science, engineering, and everyday life.

Technological advancements have led to significant changes in society. The earliest known technology is the stone tool, used during prehistoric times, followed by the control of fire, which contributed to the growth of the human brain and the development of language during the Ice Age. The invention of the wheel in the Bronze Age allowed greater travel and the creation of more complex machines. More recent technological inventions, including the printing press, telephone, and the Internet, have lowered barriers to communication and ushered in the knowledge economy.
