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:

Two atoms with different numbers of protons are what?
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

c) two different elements

Explanation:

A periodic table can be defined as the standard arrangement of chemical elements by atomic number, electronic configuration and chemical properties in a tabular form.

Generally, a proper representation of the mass number and atomic number of chemical elements is key and very important in chemistry.

Furthermore, as a rule, it should be noted that the mass number (nucleon number) is always larger than the atomic number(number of proton).

In the periodic table, all chemical elements are identified based on number of protons because it represents the atomic number.

This ultimately implies that, numbers of protons (atomic numbers) is used to differentiate an atom of one chemical element from the atom of another chemical element.

Hence, two atoms with different numbers of protons are two different elements.

For example, Hydrogen has one proton while Oxygen has 8 protons.

What is the molality of a solution made by dissolving 2 moles of NaOH in 10<br> kg of water?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

0.2mol/kg

Explanation:

molality is the concentration of a solution in moles of solute per kilogram of solvent

moles of solute (NaOH) = 2moles

mass of solvent in kg. =10kg

Therefore molality. = 2moles/10 kg

=0.2mol/kg
