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:

A nuclear waste site. cesium-137 is a particularly dangerous by-product of nuclear reactors. it has a half-life of 30 years. it
hram777 [196]
The mass decay rate is of the form
m(t) = m_{0} e^{-kt}
where
m₀ = 3000 g,the initial mass
k = the decay constant
t = time, years.

Because the half-life is 30 years, therefore
e^{-30k} =  \frac{1}{2} \\\ -30k = ln(0.5) \\ k =  \frac{ln(0.5)}{-30} =0.0231

After 60 years, the mass remaining is
m = 3000 e^{-0.0231*60} = 750 \, g

Answer: 750 g

Org. chem. How is this "1-aminopropan-2-ol" and not "3-aminopropan-2-ol"
MatroZZZ [7]
You want to achieve the lowest number possible
Because <span>3-aminopropan-2-ol is bigger than </span><span>1-aminopropan-2-ol number wise, so you should name it as </span>1-aminopropan-2-ol

Predict the boiling point of water at a pressure of 1.5 atm.
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

100.8 °C

Explanation:

The Clausius-clapeyron equation is:

ln\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2}} =-Δ\frac{H_{vap}}{r} (\frac{1}{T_{2}}-\frac{1}{T_{1}}  )

Where 'ΔHvap' is the enthalpy of vaporization; 'R' is the molar gas constant (8.314 j/mol); 'T1' is the temperature at the pressure 'P1' and 'T2' is the temperature at the pressure 'P2'

Isolating for T2 gives:

T_{2}=(\frac{1}{T_{1}} -\frac{Rln\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} }{Delta H_{vap}}

(sorry for 'deltaHvap' I can not input symbols into equations)

thus T2=100.8 °C

Is flower color a charecteristics or a traits
GaryK [48]
Yes, because if you have a flower and it reproduces then there's a HIGH chance that the next flower will be the same color because of traits! <span />

Calculate the number of moles 3.16 g of KMnO4 32.33 g of K2CrO4 100 g of KHCO3
kvasek [131]
The number of moles:
3.16g of KMnO_{4}
1 mole of KMnO_{4}- 158g.
x moles of KMnO_{4}- 3.16g.
x=\frac{1\ mole*3.16g}{158g}=\frac{3.16}{158}=0.02\ mole

The number of moles:
32.33g of K_{2}CrO_{4}
1 mole of K_{2}CrO_{4}- 194g.
x moles of K_{2}CrO_{4}- 32.33g.
x=\frac{1\ mole*32.33g}{194g}=\frac{32.33}{194}=0.17\ mole

The number of moles:
100g of KHCO_{3}
1 mole of KHCO_{3}- 100.1g.
x moles of KHCO_{3}- 100g.
x=\frac{1\ mole*100g}{100.1g}=\frac{100}{100.1}=0.999\ mole
