The total amount of water on earth <u>remains the same</u>.

<u>Option: A</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The quantity of water on Earth remains the same now as it was in the Olden days. All water which is consumed by living things continue to be as part of the Earth's total water content.

The total amount is not exactly constant, as there are two fluxes of water between Earth and the rest of the solar system. There is a steady rain of water-bearing meteoroids hitting the planet, which slowly increases the amount of water. At the same time, molecules of water often dissociate in the upper atmosphere into hydrogen and oxygen due to ultraviolet light from the sun. Some of the hydrogen atoms have enough energy to escape from Earth’s gravitational field, and so are lost. This slowly decreases the amount of water. In addition, tectonic plate subduction is constantly carrying water down into Earth’s mantle, and volcanoes are constantly spewing water out onto the surface again. The balance between the two processes can change considerably over time. But all of these actions are meager compared to the total quantity of water on our planet, and two of them are in the opposite direction of the other two. So the overall change is insignificant, even when considered over long spans of geologic time.

Answer:

n_cladding = 1.4764

Explanation:

We are told that θ_max = 5 °

Thus;

θ_max + θ_c = 90°

θ_c = 90° - θ_max

θ_c = 90° - 5°

θ_c = 85°

Now, critical angle is given by;

θ_c = sin^(-1) (n_cladding/n_core)

sin θ_c = (n_cladding/n_core)

n_cladding = (n_core) × sin θ_c

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

n_cladding = 1.482 × sin 85

n_cladding = 1.4764

A solution containing 10.0 g of an unknown liquid and 90.0 g water has a freezing point of -3.33 °C. Given Kf = 1.86 °C/m for wa

Fantom [35]

Answer:

62.06 g/mol

Explanation:

We are given that a solution containing 10 g of an unknown liquid and 90 g

Given mass of solute = $W_B$ =10 g

Given mass of solvent= $W_A$ =90 g

$k_f=1.86^{\circ}C/m$

Freezing point of solution =-3.33 $^{\circ}$ C

Freezing point of solvent = $0^{\circ}$ C

Change in freezing point =Depression in freezing point

=Freezing point of solvent - freezing point of solution=0+3.33= $3.33^{\circ}$

$\Delta T_f=\frac{W_B\times K_f\times 1000}{W_A\times M_B}$

$M_B=\frac{10\times 1.86\times 1000}{3.33\times 90}$

$M_B=62.06 g/mol$

Hence, molar mass of unknown liquid is 62.06g/mol.

yarga [219]

Answer:

The work done is 5136.88 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

n = 1.90 mol

Temperature = 296 K

If the initial volume is V then the final volume will be V/3.

We need to calculate the work done

Using formula of work done

$W=nRT\ ln(\dfrac{V_{f}}{V_{i}})$

Put the value into the formula

$W=1.90\times8.314\times296\ ln(\dfrac{\dfrac{V}{3}}{V})$

$W=1.90\times8.314\times296\ ln(\dfrac{1}{3})$

$W=−5136.88\ J$

The Work done on the system.

Hence, The work done is 5136.88 J.
