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

Chemistry

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.

4. Which of the following equations is
serg [7]

Answer:

E. Cl2 + 2NaBr ----> Br2 + 2NaCl

Explanation:

Number of Cl molecules is 2 on the reactant and product side of the equation.

Number of Na molecules is  2 on the reactant and product side of the equation.

Number of Br molecules is 2 on the reactant and the product side of the equation.

As the reactant side is equal to the product side, the equation is balanced.

What is the average distance between oxygen molecules at stp?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Although all gases closely follow the ideal gas law PV = nRT under appropriate conditions, each gas is also a unique chemical substance consisting of molecular units that have definite masses. In this lesson we will see how these molecular masses affect the properties of gases that conform to the ideal gas law.

Which reactions are redox reactions? check all that apply. check all that apply. 4li(s)+o2(g)→2li2o(s) mg(s)+fe2+(aq)→mg2+(aq)+f
Ymorist [56]

The reaction s that are redox reactions are

4Li(s) +O2 (g)→ 2Li2O (s)\

Mg(s) +  Fe2+ (aq)→ Mg2+(aq) + Fe(s)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

A redox reaction involve both oxidation and reduction. During redox reaction there is change in oxidation states. For example in

4Li +O2 →2Li2O  Li is oxidized  while O  is  reduced

in  Mg +Fe2+ → Mg2+ +Fe   Mg is oxidized since it move from oxidation state 0 to 2+ while Fe2+ is reduced since it move from oxidation state of 2+ to 0
