Chlorine monoxide accumulates in the stratosphere above Antarctica each winter and plays a key role in the formation of the ozone hole above the South Pole each spring. Eventually, CIO decomposes according to the equation: 2ClO(g) → Cl2(g)+ O2 (g)

The second-order rate constant for the decomposition of ClO is 6.63×10^9 M^–1s^–1 at a particular temperature. Determine the half-life of ClO when its initial concentration is 1.86×10^-8 M .

In any energy conversion, some of the energy is lost to the environment as question 5 options: electrical energy potential energy sound energy thermal energy

The earth's moon is unusually large. two popular theories of the moon's origin include the "sister world" hypothesis, which states that the moon formed from the same materials as the earth, near enough to the earth that they fell into orbit around each other. a second theory is the "capture" hypothesis, in which the moon formed elsewhere in the solar system, and the earth's gravity pulled it into its orbit. studies of what the moon is made of indicate that some of its materials had to come from the earth or from the same area of the solar system where the earth had formed. at the same time, the moon does not contain much of the material that makes up the earth's core, so the moon could not have formed from the same materials as the earth. how do the two facts above affect the described theories of the moon's origin? a. they show that scientists will never agree on where the moon came from. b. they show that more experiments on moon formation need to be done. c. they show that no theory accounts for the existence of the moon. d. they show that neither theory is complete and entirely correct.

In an effort to address concerns about global warming, a power plant in portland, oregon is designed to take all of its exhaust gases from its boilers and recycle the co2 using the solvay process to make sodium hydrogen carbonate. the reaction is shown below. nh3(g) + h2o(l) + co2(g) + nacl(aq) → nahco3(aq) + nh4cl(aq) how many liters each of nh3 and co2 (both at stp) would be consumed to produce 3.00 kg of sodium bicarbonate? the volume of both nh3 and co2 would be
