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.

Answer: Boyle's Law

-----

Boyle's Law is the pressure-volume law and it relates pressure and volume at constant temperature. Boyle's law states that pressure and volume vary inversely, meaning that as one goes up, the other one goes down.

An experiment reveals that 125.0 grams of an unknown metal increases in temperature from 22.0 oC to 43.6 oC upon absorbing 640 j
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

                     Cp  =  0.237 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹

Explanation:

                      Amount of energy required by known amount of a substance to raise its temperature by one degree is called specific heat capacity.

The equation used for this problem is as follow,

                                                 Q  =  m Cp ΔT   ----- (1)

Where;

           Q  =  Heat  =  640 J

           m  =  mass  =  125 g

           Cp  =  Specific Heat Capacity  =  <u>??</u>

           ΔT  =  Change in Temperature  =  43.6 °C  -  22 °C  =  21.6 °C

Solving eq. 1 for Cp,

                                Cp  =  Q / m ΔT

Putting values,

                                Cp  =  640 J / (125 g × 21.6 °C)

                                Cp  =  0.237 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹

What is the value for ∆Soreaction for the following reaction, given the standard entropy values? 2H2S(g) + SO2(g) 3Srhombic(s) +
Mademuasel [1]

Answer: \Delta S^{0} for the reaction is -186.75 J/K

Explanation:

Change in entropy (\Delta S^{0}) for the given reaction under standard condition is given by-

\Delta S^{0}= [3\times S_{rhombic}^{0}_{(s)}]+[2\times S_{H_{2}O}^{0}_{(g)}]-[2\times S_{H_{2}S}^{0}_{(g)}]-[1\times S_{SO_{2}}^{0}_{(g)}]

So \Delta S^{0} = [3\times 31.8 J/K.mol]+[2\times 188.825 J/K.mol]-[2\times 205.79 J/K.mol]-[1\times 248.22 J/K.mol] = -186.75 J/K

What happens to a glass of water as the average molecular kinetic energy of the water molecules increases?
trasher [3.6K]
"The water becomes warmer."
<u>Remember</u>: Kinetic energy means how much, on average, a molecule is moving around. This is directly translated into heat. Therefore, the higher the kinetic energy, the more heat produced.
