Why is earth's surface warmer in the northern hemisphere when it is summer there

2 answers:

8 0

Earth is warmer in northern hemisphere because of a couple of factors, such as the the tilt of the earth, and where it is at in comparison to the sun since Earth doesn't orbit a perfect circle.

The earth's tilt gives us season,and when the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, it makes it summer there, and the placement of earth is close to the sun.

Now, the closer you go to the equator, the hotter you get, because the sun us always hitting the equator.

By definition, summer is the portion of the year in which the hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, so that sunlight strikes the surface more directly. When it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is winter in the southern hemisphere, and vice versa

How many grams of sodium sulfide can be produced when 45.3 g Na react with 105 g S?

RoseWind [281]

The chemical reaction would be as follows:

2Na + S → Na2S

We are given the amount of the reactants to be used in the reaction. We use these to calculate the amount of product. We do as follows:

45.3 g Na ( 1 mol / 22.99 g ) = 1.97 mol Na
105 g S ( 1 mol / 32.06 g ) = 3.28 mol S

The limiting reactant would be Na. We calculate as follows:

1.97 mol Na ( 1 mol Na2S / 2 mol Na ) (78.04 g / mol ) = 76.87 g Na2S produced

Which of the following items are true of early nuclear science?

ValentinkaMS [17]

The items that are true of early nuclear science are "the first nuclear reactions were done in the 1880s" and "the first nucleus split was uranium-235." The answers are letters A and D. It is impossible that nucleus was lost during the reaction as it will not follow the law of mass conservation.

As one mass increases, what happens to the gravitational force.

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Gravitational force is directly promotional to the mass

of both interacting objects.

Explanation:

More massive objects will attract each other with

a greater gravitional force. So as the mass of the

either objects increases the force of gravitational

attraction between them also increases.

An aqueous solution containing 9.82 g9.82 g of lead(II) nitrate is added to an aqueous solution containing 5.76 g5.76 g of potas

n200080 [17]

Answer:

The limiting reactant is lead(II) nitrate.

7.20 g of precipitate are formed.

1.9 g of the excess reactant remain.

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2KCl(aq) → PbCl₂(s) + 2KNO₃(aq)

With a percent yield of 87.5%.

To determine the limiting reactant, first we convert the masses of each reactant to moles, using their molar mass:

9.82 g Pb(NO₃)₂ ÷ 331.2 g/mol = 0.0296 mol Pb(NO₃)₂

5.76 g KCl ÷ 74.55 g/mol = 0.0773 mol KCl

Looking at the stoichiometric coefficients, we see that 1 mol of Pb(NO₃)₂ would react completely with 2 moles of KCl. Following that logic, 0.0296 mol Pb(NO₃)₂ would react completely with (2x0.0296) 0.0592 mol of KCl. We have more than that amount of KCl, this means KCl is the reactant in excess and Pb(NO₃)₂ is the limiting reactant.

To calculate the mass of precipitate (PbCl₂) formed, we use the moles of the limiting reactant:

0.0296 mol Pb(NO₃)₂ $\frac{1molPbCl_{2}}{1molPb(NO_{3})_{2}}$ * $\frac{278.1g}{1molPbCl_{2}}$ * 87.5/100 = 7.20 g PbCl₂

- Keeping in mind the reaction yield, the moles of Pb(NO₃)₂ that would react are:

0.0296 mol Pb(NO₃)₂ * 87.5/100 = 0.0259 mol Pb(NO₃)₂

Now we convert that amount to moles of KCl and finally into grams of KCl:

0.0259 mol Pb(NO₃)₂ $\frac{2molKCl}{1molPb(NO_{3})_2}$ * $\frac{74.55g}{1molKCl}$ = 3.86 g KCl

3.86 g of KCl would react, so the amount remaining would be:

5.76 - 3.86 = 1.9 g KCl
