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.

Calcium and water form calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas also called what type of reaction
Gekata [30.6K]
Reaction of calcium with water
Calcium reacts slowly with water. This is in contrast with magnesium, immediately above calcium in the periodic table, which is virtually unreactive with cold water. The reaction forms calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 and hydrogen gas (H2).

PLEASE HELP, EASY QUESTION!!!!  Which of the following best describes the freezing of water?
VLD [36.1K]
I think the correct answer would be negative change in enthalpy, low temperature and negative entropy. Freezing of water is an exothermic process which means heat is released to the surroundings so negative enthalpy. And this is seen in the change to a lower temperature. Entropy is negative which signifies that there is more order as water freezes.

Hydrogen peroxide can be prepared by the reaction of barium peroxide with sulfuric acid according to the reaction BaO2(s)+H2SO4(
Vesna [10]

Answer:

VH2SO4 = 145.3 mL

Explanation:

Mw BaO2 = 169.33 g/mol

⇒ mol BaO2 = 53.5g * ( mol BaO2 / 169.33 g BaO2) = 0.545 mol BaO2

⇒according to the reaction:

mol BaO2 = mol H2SO4 = 0.545 mol

⇒ V H2SO4 = 0.545 mol H2SO4 * ( L H2SO4 / 3.75 mol H2SO4 )

⇒V H2SO4 = 0.1453 L (145.3 mL)
