Answer and explanation;

-The cause of convention currents in a hot spring is rainwater and melted snow is cool and denser and sinks to the bottom of the hot spring where it is heated by a shallow magma chamber. The heated water expands and is less dense and rises to the top.

Explanation;

-Convention Current is the movement of fluid caused by the differences in temperature. Transference of heat from one part of a fluid to another.

-Lighter (less dense), warm material rises while heavier (more dense) cool material sinks. It is this movement that creates circulation patterns known as convection currents in the atmosphere, in water, and in the mantle of Earth. In the atmosphere, as air warms it rises, allowing cooler air to flow in underneath.

Calculate the ph of the solution that results following addition of 24 ml of 1.0 mnaoh to 60 ml of 1.0 mnh4cl.

Lostsunrise [7]

The pH of the solution is 0.37.

<h3>What is the pH of the solution?</h3>

We can write the equation of the reaction as;

$NH4Cl (aq) + NaOH (aq) ------- > NH3 (aq) + H2O (l) + NaCl (aq)$

Number of moles of $NaOH$ = 24/1000 * 1 = 0.024 moles

Number of moles of $NH4Cl$ = 60/1000 * 1 = 0.060 moles

Given that the reaction is 1:1, the limiting reactant is NaOH

Number of moles of NH4Cl left over = 0.060 - 0.024 = 0.036 moles

Concentration of left over NH4Cl = 0.036 moles/(24 + 60)/1000

= 0.43 moles

pH = -log(0.43)

pH = 0.37

Bobo, the clown, can swim at 2.0 m/s. he must make a landing directly across to the north side of the styx river, which is 100.

victus00 [196]

We are given the following:

Bobo's swimming speed = 2.0 m/s
Width of the river = 100 m
Flowrate of the river = 6.0 m/s due east

First, we need to illustrate the problem. Draw the river with a width of 100 meters. Then, the flow of the river, east at 6 meters per second. Lastly, draw Bobo at one side of the river facing north and an arrow representing swimming speed at 2 meters per second.

Now, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this rate problem.

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c = speed of Bobo needed
a = speed of Bobo facing north
b = flow rate of the river going east

c^2 = 2^2 + 6^2

c = 6.32 m / s should be his speed to overcome the current and make a landing at the desired location.
