Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere?

2 answers:

5 0

Water is a slow conductor of heat, thus it needs to gain more energy than the sand or dry land in order for its temperature to increase. On the other hand, soil loses its heat much faster. ... Not only do the oceans cover more than 2/3 of the Earth's surface, they also absorb more sunlight and store more heat.

Describe how temperature changes

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The Sun's temperature, which reaches around 15 million degrees Celsius in its core, steadily decreases with distance from the core, falling to 6000°C at its 'surface'. ... Instead, it rises to about 10,000°C in the chromosphere, and exceeds a million degrees Celsius in the corona.

Describe the redox reaction. Check all that apply 2AI(s) + 3ZnCI2(g) → 3Zn(s) + 2AICI3(aq).

Inga [223]

Answer:

Zinc is reduced.

The oxidation number of chlorine does not change.

Aluminum is oxidized.

Explanation:

For the reaction:

2AI(s) + 3ZnCI₂(g) → 3Zn(s) + 2AICI₃(aq).

For the elements in the reactants side:

Al has (0) oxidation state and converted to (+3) oxidation state in the products (AlCl₃), which means Al is oxidized and it is the reducing agent.

So, we can check that: Aluminum is oxidized.

Zn has the oxidation state (+2) in the reactants side (ZnCl₂) and converted to (0) in the products side (Zn), which means that Zn is reduced and it is the oxidizing agent.

So, we can check that: Zinc is reduced.

and can not check: Zinc is the reducing agent.

The oxidation state of Cl does not change, it is the same in both sides (-1).

So, we can check: The oxidation number of chlorine does not change.

and can not check: Aluminum atoms transfer electrons to chlorine atoms.

So, the choices will be:

Zinc is reduced.

The oxidation number of chlorine does not change.

Aluminum is oxidized.

Consider the rate law below.

Inessa [10]

If you double the concentration of A, the rate is doubled. If you doubled the concentration of B, since the rate law has B^2, the rate is multiplied by 4. If you double both A & B's concentrations, then the rate would be multiplied by 2*4 = 8, which is the last option.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The partial pressure in mm Hg for each of the species are:

PCO = 0

PH2 = 3874

PCH3OH = 347

The total pressure is 4221

Explanation:

We have to use Ideal gas equation PV = nRT and Partial pressure rule Total Pressure= ∑ Partial pressures.

We have following data:

T= 357K (85+272); nCO=0.078 (2.2/28); nH2 = 2.43 (4.86/2); R=62.36

With equation CO(g) + 2 H2(g) → CH3OH(g) we can calculate the amount of moles the reaction has finished. The limit reagent is CO because is consumed completely and moles CO in flask are 0. According to equation, every CO mol produces one CH3OH mol. That means 0.078 CO moles produces 0.078 CH3OH moles. From Ideal gas equation we have P=nRT/V.

Applying:

PH2=0.87*62.36*357/5=3874

PCH3OH =0.078*62.36*357/5=347

Total P = 3874+347=4221

I hope my answer helps you
