Why is there a delay for the tides to react to the Moon's and Sun's gravitational effect?

1 answer:

7 0

There is no delay because the effects of gravity are constantly acting on bodies of water. Hence, option D is correct.

<h3>What is the gravitational effect?</h3>

Gravitation or just gravity is the force of attraction between any two bodies.

The Moon exerts over twice the gravitational pull of the Sun on Earth's tides because of its proximity to Earth. -The lunar tidal bulges are about twice the size of the solar tidal bulges. -The Sun's contribution to the tides is less than that of the Moon.

When the sun and moon are perfectly unaligned (they form a 90-degree angle relative to the earth), there are still tides because the moon's gravitational gradient is stronger than the sun's. The sun's gravitational gradient never completely cancels out the moon's.

Hence, option D is correct.

Find the enthalpy of neutralization of HCl and NaOH. 137 cm3 of 2.6 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid was neutralized by 137 cm3 of 2.6

liraira [26]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) 89.39 KJ/mole

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of HCl and NaOH.

$\text{Moles of HCl}=\text{Concentration of HCl}\times \text{Volume of solution}=2.6mole/L\times 0.137L=0.3562mole$

$\text{Moles of NaOH}=\text{Concentration of NaOH}\times \text{Volume of solution}=2.6mole/L\times 0.137L=0.3562mole$

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of HCl neutralizes by 1 mole of NaOH

So, 0.3562 mole of HCl neutralizes by 0.3562 mole of NaOH

Thus, the number of neutralized moles = 0.3562 mole

Now we have to calculate the mass of water.

As we know that the density of water is 1 g/ml. So, the mass of water will be:

The volume of water = $137ml+137ml=274ml$

$\text{Mass of water}=\text{Density of water}\times \text{Volume of water}=1g/ml\times 274ml=274g$

Now we have to calculate the heat absorbed during the reaction.

$q=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where,

q = heat absorbed = ?

$c$ = specific heat of water = $4.18J/g^oC$

m = mass of water = 274 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature of water = 325.8 K

$T_{initial}$ = initial temperature of metal = 298 K

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$q=274g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (325.8-298)K$

$q=31839.896J=31.84KJ$

Thus, the heat released during the neutralization = -31.84 KJ

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy of neutralization.

$\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy of neutralization = ?

q = heat released = -31.84 KJ

n = number of moles used in neutralization = 0.3562 mole

$\Delta H=\frac{-31.84KJ}{0.3562mole}=-89.39KJ/mole$

The negative sign indicate the heat released during the reaction.

Therefore, the enthalpy of neutralization is, 89.39 KJ/mole

Transportation is the largest single source of air pollution in the United States. Air pollution can harm the environment and hu

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

- motors that run on electricity

- tires that improve gas mileage

Explanation:

The transportation is a major polluter of the air. The big problem with it is that it is necessary for the humans to be able to live and function properly, as the trade is happening through it, thus it is crucial for the economy. In order to stop or reduce the negative impact on the air quality, there are some solutions which can help. The motors that can run on electricity are an excellent method, as the production of electricity is not polluting the are as the fossil fuels are. The only problem is that this type of motors are still very expensive, so once their price is on pair with the combustion motors they can be used. Tires that are able to increase the efficiency of the transportation means can also be useful, as they will be able to reduce the amount of pollutants released into the atmosphere, because the transportation will use less fossil fuels for the same mileage.

Reaction of 0.028 g of magnesium with excess hydrochloric acid generated 31.0 mL of hydrogen gas. The gas was collected by water

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Explanation:

(a) It is given that magnesium is reacted with hydrochloric acid and the hydrogen evolved is collected at top. This means that hydrochloric acid will be present in a solution (HCl + Water) and the solvent will be water.

Due to evaporation some amount of water will have evaporated and would be present in vapor phase. Therefore, when the reaction occurs only hydrogen will not be present in vapor phase but, will be accompanied by water vapors as well .

Hence, Dalton's law the total pressure of the system will be sum of pressure exerted by hydrogen gas and pressure exerted by water vapors .

Let us assume that the partial pressure of hydrogen gas be " $P_H_{2}$ "

And, the partial pressure of water will be nothing but the vapor pressure of water,

Vapor pressure of water = $P_{water}$

= 19.8 mm Hg

Total pressure of the system = 746 mm Hg

Total pressure = $P_H_{2} + P_{water}$

746 = $P_H_{2}$ + 19.8

or, $P_H_{2}$ = 746-19.8

= 726.2 mm Hg

Hence, partial pressure of hydrogen gas is 726.2 mm Hg.

(b) To calculate volume at STP, we will first calculate at $22^{o}C$ and 726.2 mm Hg and than convert it to STP conditions.

Therefore, to calculate volume at $22^{o}C$ and 726.2 mm Hg we will make use of ideal gas law as follows.

P = 726.2 mm Hg

= $\frac{726.2}{760}$

= 0.955 atm

T = $22^{o}C$

= 22+273.15 = 295.15 K

V = 31 ml = $31 \times 10^{-3}$ Litre

According to the ideal gas law ,

PV = nRT

where, P = pressure of the system ,

V = volume of the gas

N = number of moles

R = 0.0821 liter atm/mole K

T = Temperature

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$0.955 \times 31 \times 10^{-3} = N \times 0.0821 \times 295.15$

N = $1.222 \times 10^{-3}$ moles

Now, the moles of hydrogen won't change. Therefore, let us calculate volume at STP of $1.222 \times 10^{-3}$ moles of hydrogen.

Now, at STP T = 273.15 K , P = 1 atm and N = $1.222 \times 10^{-3}$ moles

$1 \times V = 1.222 \times 10^{-3} \times 0.0821 \times 273.15 K$

V = 0.027398 Litre

= $0.027398 \times 1000$ (as 1 L = 1000 ml)

= 27.398 ml

Therefore, volume of hydrogen at STP is 27.398 ml .

(c) Now, we can write the the reaction for this case as follows.

$Mg + 2HCl \rightarrow MgCl_{2} + H_{2}$

As, weight of magnesium = 0.028 grams

Molar mass of magnesium = 24.3 grams/mole

Number of moles of magnesium = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{0.028}{24.3}$

= $1.15226 \times 10^{-3}$ moles

Since, it can be seen from the reaction that

1 mole of Magnesium = 1 mole of hydrogen

and, moles of hydrogen = $1.15226 \times 10^{-3}$ moles

= 0.001523 moles

Hence, theoretical number of moles of hydrogen that can be produced from 0.028 grams of Mg is 0.001523 moles
