I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. Areas  near large bodies of water tend to not experience large swings in temperature because water has a high specific heat. <span>That's because water can take up lots of thermal energy, and thus preven wild swings in temperature. </span>

Answer: Water has a high specific heat.

Explanation: Specific heat is the amount of  heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through 1^0C.

Water has high value of specific heat as the water molecules are bonded strongly through hydrogen bonds. Thus a large amount of heat is required to break the bonds and increase the kinetic energy of molecules.

This is due to this reason that areas near large bodies of water tend to not experience large swings in temperature.

Two identical 732.0 L tanks each contain 212.0 g of gas at 293 K, with neon in one tank and nitrogen in the other. Based on the
Vladimir [108]

Answer: (a) Neon, Nitrogen; (b) Neon, Nitrogen; (c) Neon is lower than Nitrogen; (d) It doesn't affect;

Explanation: The kinetic-molecular theory studies the behavior of particles under pre-determinated situation. In cases of gases, the particles moving around colliding with each other and the walls of the container, without loss of energy. In the case in question, all the parameters are the same (same temperature, volume and pressure), except for the gases, which has different molar masses. In this sense, Neon has lower average speed due to its molar mass being higher, which means, its particles moves slower for being heavier. Related to pressure, as velocity is lower, it collides less with the walls of the tank, and so pressure is lower. For density, it doesn't affect the behavior of the system nor the kinetic energy.

calculate the number of moles of gas that occupy a 3.45L container at a pressure of 1.48 atm and a temperature of 45.6 Celsius ​
Otrada [13]

Answer:

There are 0,2 moles of gas that ocuppy the container.

Explanation:

We apply the formula of the ideal gases, we clear n (number of moles); we use the ideal gas constant R = 0.082 l atm / K mol. Firs we convert the unit of temperature in Celsius into Kelvin:

0°C= 273 K ------> 45,6 °C= 273 + 45, 6= 318, 6 K

PV= nRT ---> n= PV/RT

n= 1,48 atm x 3,45 L /0.082 l atm / K mol x 318,6 K

n= 0,195443479 mol

What mass of H2O is produced by the combustion of 1.00 mol of CH4?
kkurt [141]
CH4 : H2O
1 : 2

number of moles of H2O = 1.00 x 2
number of moles of H2O = 2.00mol

mass = number of moles x molar mass

mass of H2O = 2.00 x (1 + 1 + 16)
mass of H2O = 36g
