7) Explain how tsunamis are formed. How do tsunamis change the surface of the Earth?

1 answer:

7 0

A tsunami is a series of waves generated in an ocean or other body of water by a disturbance such as an earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, or meteorite impact. The picture at the left shows how an earthquake can generate a tsunami in the overlying water.

By washing away large surfaces of land and depositing it in a different area. Also does damage to structures and deposits salt into the soil.

What is the law of conservation of energy? a. Energy is created and destroyed. b. Energy is not created but is destroyed. c. Ene

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Energy is neither created nor destroyed.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. The total energy of an isolated system remains conserved. It never gets 0. It changes from one form of energy to other but never vanishes.

Hence, the correct option is (d) "Energy is neither created nor destroyed"

In a second-order reaction (one that is second order in one reactant), cutting in half the concentration of that reactant will h

Keith_Richards [23]

rate 1 of the reaction = k [A]²

rate 2 of the reaction = k [A/2]² = k[A]² /4

We can see that rate of the reaction will be 4 times less.

How many types of atoms in this picture?

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Nitrogen (N), carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O).

Explanation:

Hello,

Given the shown organic compound, we refer to types of atoms to the elements present in the compound, thus, we find nitrogen (N), carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) that are bonded via single or double bonds in such compound.

Let's remember that compounds like that, having those elements are mainly found in biochemical substances such as proteins, a very important source of benefits for our body.

Regards.

Tris has a molecular weight of 121 g/mol. How many grams of Tris would you need to make 100 mL of a 100 mM solution of Tris

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

1.21 g of Tris

Explanation:

Our solution if made of a solute named Tris

Molecular weight of Tris is 121 g/mol

[Tris] = 100 mM

This is the concentration of solution:

(100 mmoles of Tris in 1 mL of solution) . 1000

Notice that mM = M . 1000 We convert from mM to M

100 mM . 1 M / 1000 mM = 0.1 M

M = molarity (moles of solute in 1 L of solution, or mmoles of solute in 1 mL of solution). Let's determine the mmoles of Tris

0.1 M = mmoles of Tris / 100 mL

mmoles of Tris = 100 mL . 0.1 M → 10 mmoles

We convert mmoles to moles → 10 mmol . 1mol / 1000mmoles = 0.010 mol

And now we determine the mass of solute, by molecular weight

0.010 mol . 121 g /mol = 1.21 g

When calcium carbonate is added to hydrochloric acid, calcium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water are produced. CaCO3 ( s ) + 2

BigorU [14]

Answer:

19.7 g of CaCl₂ are produced in the reaction

Explanation:

In this excersise we need to know the limiting reactant in order to determine the mass produced of a one of the products

The reaction is: CaCO₃ (s) + 2HCl (aq) → CaCl₂(aq) + H₂O (l) + CO₂(g)

First of all we must find the limiting reactant. For that purpose, we convert the mass of reactants to moles

25 g / 100.08 g/mol = 0.249 moles of carbonate

13 g / 36.45 g/mol = 0.357 moles of HCl

We work with the stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mol of carbonate reacts with 2 moles of hydrochloric

Then, 0.249 moles of carbonate must react with (0.249 . 2) /1 = 0.498 moles of HCl (We do not have enough HCl, so this is the limtiing reactant)

We work with the stoichiometry reactant / product

2 moles of HCl can produce 1 mol of CaCl₂

Therefore 0.357 moles of HCl must produce (0.357 .1) / 2 = 0.178 moles of chloride.

We convert the moles to mass → 0.178 mol . 110.98 g /1mol = 19.7g
