In the early 1900s, a scientist named Alfred Wegener noticed how the continents seem to fit together and developed the Theory of Continental Drift. Continental drift is the theory that continents can drift apart from one other and have done so in the past. Wegner's theory also explained why fossils of the same plant and animal species are found on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In addition similar types of rock and evidence of the same ancient climatic conditions are found on several continents.
Wegner hypothesized that all the separate continents of today were once joined in a single landmass that he called Pangaea.
Answer:
a rapidly flowing river discharges into the ocean where tidal currents are weak.
Explanation:
The force of the river pushing fresh water out to sea rather than tidal currents transporting seawater upstream determines the water circulation in these estuaries.
Answer:
pressure and temperature are directly proportional.
Explanation:
At constant temperature and pressure the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas. Also given a constant temperature and volume the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas.
This means that if V is constant then
P = n (RT/V) then n= PV/RT. As P is increased, T is also increased thereby decreasing the value of n since pressure and temperature are directly proportional.
Answer:
1.8 moles of NaCl must be produced.
Explanation:
Based on the reaction:
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O
<em>1 mol of HCl reacts with 1 mol of NaOH to produce 1mol of NaCl</em>
<em />
To solve this question we must find, as first, the <em>limiting reactant:</em>
<em />
1.8 moles of HCl will need 1.8 moles of NaOH for a complete reaction (Ratio of reaction 1:1). As there are 3.3 moles of NaOH,
<em>HCl is limiting reactant</em>
<em />
When the 1.8 moles of HCl react completely,
1.8 moles of NaCl must be produced because 1 mole of HCl produce 1 mole of NaCl
The SI unit for mass is Kilogram (kg).
