I believe it is "The temperature of the ice sheet will be lowered" because it will most likely lower just a bit due to the heat. It's not going to fully melt but it will lower just a bit.

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When warm air will rise above a polar ice sheet then it means due to high kinetic energy between the warm air molecules they will collide rapidly and frequently from one place to another.

As a result, warm air molecules will expand at a faster rate. As polar ice sheet is colder in nature therefore, it will absorb the heat from warm air.

Hence, the polar ice sheet will start to melt as absorption of heat will generate kinetic energy between the molecules of polar ice sheet.

Thus, we can conclude that heat will be transferred from the air mass to the ice.

Answer:

The answer to your question is  molality = 0.61

Explanation:

Freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a solid if a solute is added to a solution, the freezing point changes.

Data

Kf = 1.86 °C/m

molality = ?

ΔTc = 1.13°C

Formula

ΔTc = kcm

Solve for m

m = ΔTc/kc

Substitution

m = 1.13 / 1.86

Simplification and result

m = 0.61

Identify the balanced chemical equation that represents a combustion reaction. 2C 4H 10 + 13O 2 ⟶ 10H 2O + 8CO 2 C 4H 10 + 5O 2
kati45 [8]

Answer:

  2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ ⟶ 10H₂O + 8CO₂

Explanation:

  2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ ⟶ 10H₂O + 8CO₂  . . . . .  balanced combustion reaction

  C₄H₁₀ + 5O₂ ⟶ 5H₂O + 4CO₂  . . . . not balanced

The two reactions involving Ca are not combustion reactions.

What mass of water would you need to have 15.0 miles of H2O
ss7ja [257]

Answer: 270 g H2O

Explanation: solution attached

Use the relationship of 1 mole H2O is equal to its molar mass 18g H2O

15.0 moles H2O x 18g H2O / 1 mole H2O

= 270 g H2O

Which element is considered the foundation for making organic compounds
Rasek [7]

Answer: Carbon

Explanation: Organic compounds are those made by carbon atoms that link to other carbon or elements such as nitrogen, hydrogen or oxygen with covalent bonds.

The presence of these compounds were associated with living things, because most of them are produced by plants or animals. However nowdays substances like polymers and other synthetically made molecules can also be considered as organic since they are made of carbon.
