B) differences in temperature

Explanation:

The factor that most directly affects the flow of ocean currents is the differences in ocean temperature from one place to another.

Ocean current is the directional movement of the ocean water in its basin.

The main cause of ocean current is differences in temperature.

Ocean water on the surface receives direct sunlight.
This warms and the surface and decreases their density.
When winds blows over them, they cool and sink under their own weight.
The less cold water in depths rise to replace them.
This exchange of ocean water due to loss and gain of heat cause ocean current.

Calculate the volume of 0.100 m hcl required to neutralize 1.00 g of ba(oh)2 (molar mass = 171.3 g/mol).

dedylja [7]

The balanced chemical equation between HCl and $Ba(OH)_{2}$ is:

$2HCl (aq) + Ba(OH)_{2}(aq) -->BaCl_{2}(aq) + 2 H_{2}O(l)$

Moles of $Ba(OH)_{2}$ = $1.00 g Ba(OH)_{2} * \frac{1 mol Ba(OH)_{2}}{171.3 g Ba(OH)_{2}} = 0.00584 mol Ba(OH)_{2}$

Moles of HCl required to neutralize $Ba(OH)_{2}$ :

$0.00584 mol Ba(OH)_{2} * \frac{ 2 mol HCl}{1 mol Ba(OH)_{2}} = 0.01168 mol HCl$

Calculating the volume of HCl from moles and molarity:

$0.01168 mol HCl * \frac{1 L}{0.100 mol} * \frac{1000 mL}{1 L} = 116.8 mL$

Explain how you would expect the strength of

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

You should expect that the ionic bond in LiBr is stronger than the bond in KBr.

Explanation:

The ionic bonds are formed by the electrostatic attraction between the ions, cations and anions.

In KBr the cation is K⁺ and the anion is Br⁻.

In LiBr the cation is Li⁺ and the anion is Br⁻.

You must expect that the bond strength depends mainly on the charges present on each ion and the distance between them.

Nevertheless, the effect of the distance between the radius dominate the trendency of the bond strength, which makes that the ionic strength trend be related to the ionic radius trend.

Lithium is a smaller ion than Potassium (both are in the same group and Lithium is above Potassium).

Thus, you should expect that the Li ion is closer to the Br ion than what the K ion is to the Br ion and expect that the bond between a Li ion and the Br ion be stronger than the bond between the K ion and the Br ion.
