How does warm water at the surface of the ocean become colder?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Paha777 [63]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Heat energy always moves from hot to cold. The sunlight doesn't reach certain parts of the ocean due to it being so deep. The water above it absorbs it. So because this top water absorbs all the heat/energy, it is a lot warmer and is constantly transferring heat to the colder parts through kinetic energy. The warmer water has particles that have way more kinetic energy than the cold particles below it. And more kinetic energy means more movement, so that's why they transfer their heat to the colder particles.

I dont actually know if Im correct or not. Im just guessing based on what I know about physics.

Since the new oceanic crust is created at the mid-ocean ridges, then the Earth is getting bigger.
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is true that new crust is being created at the mid-oceanic ridges, but this does not make the Earth any bigger despite the the growth of oceanic crusts in these regions.

The reason that Earth does not get bigger is because the same plates that are being created at the divergent plate boundaries are recycled into the mantle at the subduction zones. Because of this, the surface area of the Earth remains the same.

Calculate the percent ionization of formic acid (hco2h) in a solution that is 0.311 m in formic acid and 0.189 m in sodium forma
ohaa [14]
<span>Answer: 0.094%


</span><span>Explanation:
</span>
<span></span><span /><span>
1) Equilibrium chemical equation:
</span><span />

<span>Only the ionization of the formic acid is the important part.
</span><span />

<span>HCOOH(aq) ⇄ HCOO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
</span><span />

<span>2) Mass balance:
</span><span />

<span>                   HCOOH(aq)     HCOO⁻(aq)     H⁺(aq).

Start             0.311                 0.189

Reaction       - x                      +x                   +x

Final             0.311 - x          0.189 + x            x


3) Acid constant equation:
</span><span />

<span>Ka = [HCOO-] [N+] / [HCOOH] = (0.189 + x) x / (0.311 -x)
</span><span />

<span>= (0.189 + x )x / (0.311 - x) = 0.000177


4) Solve the equation:


You can solve it exactly (it will lead to a quadratic equation so you can use the quadratiic formula). I suggest to use the fact that x is much much smaller than 0.189 and 0.311.
</span><span />

<span>With that approximation the equation to solve becomes:


</span><span>0.1890x / 0.311 = 0.000177, which leads to:</span>
<span /><span>
x = 0.000177 x 0.311 / 0.189 = 2.91 x 10⁻⁴ M


5) With that number, the percent of ionization (alfa) is:
</span><span />

<span>percent of ionization = (moles ionized / initial moles) x 100 =
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>percent ionization = (concentration of ions / initial concentration) x 100 =
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>percent ionization = (0.000291 / 0.311)x 100 = 0.0936% = 0.094%
</span>
