changes in density

Explanation:

The global thermohaline (conveyor belt) circulation is caused by changes in global ocean density.

The ocean water density is determined by the temperature and salt content of the ocean (thermo - heat and haline - salt).

Surface current drives warm and less water away for the equator towards the poles.
At the poles they become cold and very dense sinking to the bottom and moving towards the equator back.
It is also called the ocean conveyor belt

A certain substance X has a normal freezing point of 5.6 °C and a molal freezing point depression constant Kf-7.78 °C-kg·mol-1.

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

27.60 g urea

Explanation:

The freezing-point depression is expressed by the formula:

ΔT= Kf * m

In this case,

ΔT = 5.6 - (-0.9) = 6.5 °C

Kf = 7.78 °C kg·mol⁻¹

m is the molality of the urea solution in X (mol urea/kg of X)

First we calculate the molality:

6.5 °C = 7.78 °C kg·mol⁻¹ * m

m = 0.84 m

Now we calculate the moles of urea that were dissolved:

550 g X ⇒ 550 / 1000 = 0.550 kg X

0.84 m = mol Urea / 0.550 kg X

mol Urea = 0.46 mol

Finally we calculate the mass of urea, using its molecular weight:

0.46 mol * 60.06 g/mol = 27.60 g urea

What is the oxidation number of tin (Sn) in the compound Na2SnO2? A. -2 B. 0 C. +2 D. +3

Allisa [31]

O.N. of Na = +1

O.N. of O = -2

Let, O.N. of Tin = x

1*2 + x + -2*2 = 0

2+x-4 = 0

x-2 = 0

x = 2

SO OPTION C IS YOUR ANSWER......

Write the balanced equation. Then calculate the volume of 0.65 M HCl required to completely neutralize 400.0 ml of 0.88 M KOH.

Misha Larkins [42]

Hello!

The balanced equation for the neutralization of KOH is the following:

HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) → KCl(aq) + H₂O(l)

To calculate the volume of HCl required, we can apply the following equation:

$moles HCl = moles KOH \\ \\ cHCl*vHCl=cKOH*vKOH \\ \\ vHCl= \frac{cKOH*vKOH}{cHCl}= \frac{400 mL*0,88M}{0,65M}= 541,54mL$

So, the required volume of HCl is 541,54 mL

What does lower case k stand for?

DaniilM [7]

Just for more clarification, lowercase k is the rate constant. Uppercase K is the equilibrium constant. You can actually use k to find K (equilibrium constant). K=k/k' This means that the equilibrium constant is the rate constant of the forward reaction divided by the rate constant of the reverse reaction
