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

Chemistry

Sloan [31]2 years ago

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.

Which of the following is not true? a. The freezing point of sea water is lower than the freezing point of pure water. b. The bo
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The false statement is b.

The boiling point of a water sample from the Salt Lake is lower than the boiling point of pure water

Explanation:

This excersise refers to colligative properties.

Boiling point refers to the property of boiling point elevation. In a solution of ions, as water sea or water from lakes, the boiling point will be higher than water pure.

It is logical to say that, because these sort of water have ions. Remember that colligative properties depends on the solute particles.

T° boiling solution - T° pure solvent = Kb . m . i

In the freezing point depression, we have the oppossite of boiling point elevation. Freezing point of solution is lower than pure solvent, according to this:

T° freezing pure solvent - T° freezing solution = Kc . m . i

We have to always consider the i, which means Van't Hoff factor, number of ions dissolved in solution. As the i is higher, the freezing point of solution will be lower, and the boiling point of solution will be higher.

They are true statement a and c.

In solution of., [NaCl] = 0.1M, as it is a higher concentration, the molality is also higher than a solution of [NaCl] = 0.05.

As water sample form Salt Lake has certain ions, it is logical to say that the boiling point of this water is higher than boiling point of pure water.

Find the mass of 4.5 moles of H3PO4
Contact [7]

Hey there!

H₃PO₄

Find molar mass.

H: 3 x 1.008 = 3.024

P: 1 x 30.97 = 30.97

O: 4 x 16 = 64

---------------------------------

                  97.994 grams

The mass of 1 mole of H₃PO₄ is 97.994 grams.

We have 4.5 moles.

97.994 x 4.5 = 440

The mass of 4.5 moles of H₃PO₄ is 440 grams.

Hope this helps!
