The Earth rotates about its axis from west to east. What piece of evidence about the Moon can we use to support this statement?

The Earth's rotation has no relation to the phases of the moon.
Like everything else in the sky, the moon rises in the east just like the stars, planets, and the sun.

Answer:

The correct answer is "The Moon rises in the east and sets in the west".

Explanation:

The earth rotates on its axis from west to east, the Moon seems to move from east to west through the sky. Seen from above, the Moon orbits the Earth in the same direction as our planet rotates. In this way we can support this statement, just by observing the movement of the moon around the earth and due to the fact that we always observe the same face of the moon.

Have a nice day!

Please help me and explanation would be really awesome thank you!

Answer:

So the answer would be 10 moles

Explanation:

1) Start with the molecular formula for water: $H_{2} O!$

2) If there are 10 moles of water use a mole ratio to calculate the moles of oxygen it would produce.

(This question is... interesting... since they chose an element that is diatomic in free state so It could TECHNICALLY be two answers, moles of O or moles of $O_{2}$ )

The mole ratio is 1 moles of $H_{2}O$ to 1 moles of O. This is because the coefficient for oxygen in water is simple 1, so the ratio is 1:1.

3) that means if 10 moles of water decompose, they decompose into 10 moles of $H_{2}$ and 10 moles of O.

Extra:

About what I was saying before about the question being slightly interesting:

10 moles of pure oxygen is produced but free state oxygen exists as $O_{2}$ so it could possibly be 10 OR 5! However, notice it says elements. This leads me to believe the answer is 10 (monatomic oxygen) instead of 5 (free state/diatomic oxygen).

I hope this helps!

Calculate the change in the entropy of the system and also the change in the entropy of the surroundings, and the resulting tota

Ghella [55]

Answer:

(a) Δ $S_{sys}$ = 2.881 J/K; Δ $S_{sur}$ = -2.881 J/K; total change in entropy = 0

(b)Δ $S_{sys}$ = 2.881 J/K; Δ $S_{sur}$ = 0 ; total change in entropy = 2.881 J/K

Explanation:

In the given problem, we need to calculate the change in the entropy of the system and also the change in the entropy of the surroundings, and the resulting total change in entropy, when a sample of nitrogen gas of mass 14 g at 298 K and 1.00 bar doubles its volume. We have the following variable:

mass (m) = 14 g

Temperature = 298 K

Pressure = 1.00 bar

Initial volume = $V_{1}$

Final volume = $V_{2}$ = $2V_{1}$

(a) Change in entropy of the system Δ $S_{sys}$ = $nRIn\frac{V_{2} }{V_{1} }$

where R = 8.314 J/(mol*K)

n = number of moles = mass/molar mass = 14/ 28 = 0.5 moles

Δ $S_{sys}$ = 0.5*8.314*ln2 = 2.881 J/K

Change in entropy of the surrounding Δ $S_{sur}$ = -2.881 J/K

Therefore, for a reversible process, the total change in entropy = Δ $S_{sys}$ +Δ $S_{sur}$ = 2.881 - 2.881 = 0

(b) Because entropy is a state function, we use the same procedure as in part (a). Thus, Δ $S_{sys}$ = 2.881 J/K

Since surrounding does not change in this process Δ $S_{sur}$ = 0.

total change in entropy = Δ $S_{sys}$ +Δ $S_{sur}$ = 2.881 - 0 = 2.88 J/K

Δ $S_{sys}$ = 0

Since heat energy is not transferred from the system to the surrounding

Δ $S_{sur}$ = 0

total change in entropy = Δ $S_{sys}$ +Δ $S_{sur}$ = 0

In a lab, silver nitrate,AgNO₃, is dissolved in water until no solid is observed in the container. Then, a solution of sodium ch

leva [86]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: A, C, E

Explanation:

After reading the information given, we can conclude that both reactants react to form a new solid product and another product that do not precipitate.

The reaction is:

AgNO₃ + NaCl ⇒ AgCl + NaNO₃

a. Formation of a solid indicates that a chemical reaction occurred This option is correct, precipitation indicates that a changed occurred in the solution due to a chemical reaction.

b. The initial disappearance of silver nitrate in water indicates a chemical reaction occurred No, what is happing is that silver nitrate is dissolving in water, this process is a physical change because matter do not change its nature.

c. The color change of the solution indicates a chemical reaction occurred This option is true, when a color appears suggest the formation of a new product.

d. A chemical reaction occurred when silver nitrate was added to water

This option is not correct, in this process silver nitrate is dissolving in water but it is not a chemical reaction because matter does not change is nature.

e. A chemical reaction occurred when the solutions were combined This option is true because silver nitrate and sodium chloride react to form a new product (solid formation and change in color).

f. The lack of temperature change indicates a chemical reaction didn't occur This is false, some reactions do not need a change of color to happen.

Which direction does air circulate into low pressure zones in the northern and southern hemisphere

Yuri [45]

<span>Now consider a low pressure area on a disk as shown below.A parcel of air at point A would move toward the center of the low pressure area. That movement would take it farther away from the center of the disk and therefore it would move to the west. A parcel of air at B would move toward the center of the low pressure area which would also take it closer to the center of the spinning disk where its speed is greater than the surrounding points. It would appear to move to the east. With A moving to the west and B moving to the east the line from A to B is rotating counterclockwise.</span>
