Why do convection currents form

Chemistry
1 answer:
Scrat [10]3 years ago
3 0
Convection currents can happen in liquids and gases. For example when air is heated it becomes less dense and rises. This means that cooler more dense air comes down and is also heated rising up above more cooler air etc. This creates a convection current.
Here is a diagram of a hot water tank heater:

iron has a density of 7.86 g cm3 could a block of metal with a mass of 18.2 and a volume of 2.56 cm^3 be iron?
satela [25.4K]

The density of the block will be "7.11 gm/cm³". A further explanation is provided below.

Given values are:

Density of iron,

  • 7.86 \ g/cm^3

Mass of block of metal,

  • 18.2 \ gm

Volume of block,

  • 2.56 \ cm^3

By using the formula,

→ Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

then,

→ The density of block will be:

= \frac{Mass}{Volume}

= \frac{18.2}{2.56}

= 7.11 \ gm/cm^3

At pH= 8, which species is most likely to predominate in solution? pKa (-NH3+) = 9.9, pKa (-COOH) = 2.3
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The NH3 + with a PKa = 9.9

Explanation:

The Pka is a mathematical expression to express the dissociation grade of a substance in a solution, that means with a substance with a pKa small is a strong acid, and in this case since the solution pH is 8, that mean that the substance with high pKa ( lower acid strength)  will predominate in a pH of 8.

How many moles of oxygen in 3.5 Mols of CH2O
o-na [289]
M of CH2O= 12+2+16=30 g/mol
So 30g/mol = 3.5 mol
=> 16g/mol*3.5 divide by 30 = 1.86 mol

At 650 K, the reaction MgCO3(s)⇌MgO(s)+CO2(g)MgCO3(s)⇌MgO(s)+CO2(g) has Kp=0.026Kp=0.026. A 10.0-L container at 650 K has 1.0 g
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

0.4076 g

Explanation:

Kp is the equilibrium constant based on pressure and depends only on gas substances. For a generic reaction

aA + bB ⇄ cC + dD

Kp = \frac{(pC)^c*(pD)^d}{(pA)^a*(pB)^b}, where pX is the pressure of X in equilibrium.

For the reaction Kp = pCO₂

pCO₂ = 0.026 atm

The system is in equilibrium at the beginning. The compression occurs at a constant temperature, so using Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

0.026*10 = P2*0.1

P2 = 2.6 atm

The reaction will reach again the equilibrium, and pCO₂ = 0.026 atm, then the rest will form MgCO₃, which will be 2.6 - 0.026 = 2.574 atm.

By the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant (0.082 atm*L/mol*K), and T is the temperature.

2.574*0.1 = n*0.082*650

53.3n = 0.2574

n = 4.83x10⁻³ mol

The stoichiometry of the reaction is 1 mol of MgCO₃ for 1 mol of CO₂, so it will form 4.83x10⁻³ mol of MgCO₃  .

The molar mass is:

MgCO₃: 24 g/mol of Mg + 12 g/mol of C + 3*16 g/mol of O = 84 g/mol

The mass formed is the molar mass multiplied by the number of moles:

m = 84x4.83x10⁻³

m = 0.4076 g
