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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Paha777 [63]4 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.

How do the interactions that are broken in water when it is boiled compare with those broken when water is electrolyzed? Boiling
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Boiling water breaks intermolecular attractions and electrolysis breaks covalent bonds.

Explanation:

When water boils, hydrogen bonds are broken between adjacent water molecules. The hydrogen bond is an intermolecular bond between adjacent oxygen and hydrogen atoms of water molecules.  

During electrolysis, water dissociates in the presence of electric current. Here, ions are formed in the process. Therefore, covalent bonds are broken here.

Jim wants to react hydrogen and oxygen to get 36 grams of water. If he starts with 4 grams of Hydrogen (H), then how many grams
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Mass of Oxygen = 32 grams

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of water = 36 grams

Mass of Hydrogen = 4 grams

Find:

Mass of Oxygen

Computation:

Using Law of Conservation of mass

Mass of water = Mass of Hydrogen + Mass of Oxygen

36 grams = 4 grams + Mass of Oxygen

Mass of Oxygen = 32 grams

What's meant by the term enantiotropy?​
Mila [183]

Answer:

the relation of two different forms of the same substance (such as two allotropic forms of tin) that have a definite transition point and can therefore change reversibly each into the other — compare monotropy.

Give the direction of the reaction, if K >> 1. Give the direction of the reaction, if K >> 1. The forward reaction i
anygoal [31]

Answer:

A. for K>>1 you can say that the reaction is nearly irreversible so the forward direction is favored. (Products formation)

B. When the temperature rises the equilibrium is going to change but to know how is going to change you have to take into account the kind of reaction. For endothermic reactions (the reverse reaction is favored) and for exothermic reactions (the forward reaction is favored)

Explanation:

A. The equilibrium constant K is defined as

K=\frac{Products}{reagents}

In any case  

aA +Bb  equilibrium Cd +dD

where K is:

K= \frac{[C]^{c}[D]^{d}}{[A]^{a}[B]^{b}}

[] is molar concentration.

If K>>> 1 it means that the molar concentration of products is a lot bigger that the molar concentration of reagents, so the forward reaction is favored.

B. The relation between K and temperature is given by the Van't Hoff equation

ln(\frac{K_{1}}{K_{2}})=\frac{-delta H^{o}}{R}*(\frac{1}{T_{1}}-\frac{1}{T_{2}})

Where: H is reaction enthalpy, R is the gas constant and T temperature.  

Clearing the equation for K_{2} we get:

K_{2}=\frac{K_{1}}{e^{\frac{-deltaH^{o}}{R}*(\frac{1}{T_{1}} -\frac{1}{T_{2}})}}

Here we can study two cases: when delta H^{o} is positive (exothermic reactions) and when is negative (endothermic reactions)

For exothermic reactions when we increase the temperature the denominator in the equation would have a negative exponent so K_{2} is greater that K_{1} and the forward reaction is favored.

When we have an endothermic reaction we will have a positive exponent so K_{2} will be less than K_{1} the forward reactions is not favored.  

{e^{\frac{-deltaH^{o}}{R}*(\frac{1}{T_{1}} -\frac{1}{T_{2}})}}
