Explanation:

South America land mass serves as a deflector for the South equatorial current. This deflection the current causes them to move in a different direction. If the Continent were not present the direction of the South equatorial current would not change and it would continue to flow in the west.

H. Nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas combine to produce ammonia gas (NH3).

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

27.3 L

Explanation:

Reaction

N₂ (g) + 3H₂ (g) ⇒ 2NH₃ (g)
This is the basic reaction at STP

Solving

10 g N₂ x 1 mol NH₃/28 g N₂ x 3 mol H₂/1 mole N₂
⇒ 1.07 mol H₂

V = nRT/P [From Ideal Gas Equation]
V = 1.07 x 62.36 x 298 K / 735
V = 27.3 L

What is the chemical formula for sodium sulfate?

yan [13]

Hello!

When finding the chemical formula of a compound, we will need to find the charges of each element/bond.

Looking at our period table, sodium has a +1 charge, written as Na 1+, and sulfate has a charge of -2, and it is written as SO4 2-.

Now, we need to make the charges equivalent. To do this, we need to "criss-cross" the charges. This means that sodium will need to additional atoms to make the charges equal, and sulfate will need one.

Therefore, the chemical formula for sodium sulfate is: Na2SO4.

Write the isotopic symbol for the following (show your work) a) An isotope of iodine whose atoms have 78 neutrons b) An isotope

morpeh [17]

Answer:

For a: The isotopic representation of iodine is $_{53}^{131}\textrm{I}$

For b: The isotopic representation of cesium is $_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}$

For c: The isotopic representation of strontium is $_{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}$

Explanation:

The isotopic representation of an atom is: $_Z^A\textrm{X}$

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

For a:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 78

Atomic number of iodine = 53 = Number of protons

Mass number = 53 + 78 = 131

Thus, the isotopic representation of iodine is $_{53}^{131}\textrm{I}$

For b:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 82

Atomic number of cesium = 55 = Number of protons

Mass number = 55 + 82 = 137

Thus, the isotopic representation of cesium is $_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}$

For c:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 52

Atomic number of strontium = 38 = Number of protons

Mass number = 38 + 52 = 90

Thus, the isotopic representation of strontium is $_{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}$

A topographical map would be useful for which activity? A. planning a hiking trip B. studying plant growth over time C. studying

amm1812

The answer is A. planning a hiking trip

A topographical map would not help studying plant growth over time unless you are looking for a better altitude to plant said plants.

A topographical map would not help studying rainfall for one year unless your location was really so high or low that it affected your weather

And most of all, a topographical map would not be useful for planning a cuise across the Atlantic Ocean because the elevation of the sea is zero!

A topographical map would be useful for planning a hiking trip because there are many factors and details that a hike should have. Which includes height, distance, paths, and elevation.
