Define the Coriolis effect and describe how it influences objects or fluids in each hemisphere

2 answers:

The Coriolis effect causes fluids, like water or air, to curve as they across or above Earth's surface. In the northern hemisphere it makes all the tornadoes, toilet water, and hurricanes spin or twist counter clock wise and in the southern hemisphere it make all the tornadoes, toilet water, and hurricanes spin or twist clock wise.

The Coriolis effect is the rotation of the water as it flows especially down a drain. In the northern hemisphere, water flows counter clockwise. Southern hemisphere, clockwise. <span>This effects the rotation of storms as well. </span>

Which process is expected to have an increase in entropy?

olganol [36]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Degree of randomness of the molecules of a substance is known as entropy. More is the kinetic energy between the molecules of a substance more will be the degree of randomness.

Therefore, when a substance is present in a gaseous state then it has the maximum entropy. In liquid state, molecules are closer to each other so, there is less randomness between them.

On the other hand, in solid state molecules are much more closer to each other as they arr held by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. Therefore, they have very less entropy.

When liquid water is formed from gaseous hydrogen and oxygen molecules then gas is changing into liquid. So, there is decrease in entropy.

When $N_{2}O_{4}$ decomposes then the reaction will be as follows.

$N_{2}O_{4} \rightarrow 2NO_{2}$

Since, 1 mole is producing 2 moles. This means that degree of randomness is increasing as both the molecules are present in gaseous form.

In formation of a precipitate, aqueous solution is changing into solid state. Hence, degree of randomness is decreasing.

Rusting of iron also leads to the formation of solid as it forms $Fe_{2}O_{3}.xH_{2}O$ .

Thus, we can conclude that decomposition of $N_{2}O_{4}$ gas to $NO_{2}$ gas is the process that is expected to have an increase in entropy.

What are the five main points of kinetic theory of gas?

jekas [21]

Answer:

2) Gas molecules do not have preferred direction of motion, their motion is completely random. 3) Gas molecules travels in straight line. 4) The time interval of collision between any two gas molecules is very small. 5) The collision between gas molecules and the walls of container is perfectly elastic.
