The Coriolis force is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion relative to a rotation reference frame. This causes moving objects to the right ( with respect to the direction of travel ) in the Northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern hemisphere. The horizontal deflection is zero at the equator. It also causes the surface ocean currents in the Northern hemisphere to deflect to the right and the currents in the Southern hemisphere to deflect to the left.
Answer: the Coriolis force.

A 66.4 gram sample of Ba(ClO4)2 3 H2O was heated thoroughly in a porcelain crucible, until its weight remained constant. After h
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

57.2 g

Explanation:

First we <u>convert 66.4 grams of Ba(ClO₄)₂·3H₂O into moles</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • Molar mass of Ba(ClO₄)₂·3H₂O = Molar mass of Ba(ClO₄)₂ + (Molar Mass of H₂O)*3
  • Molar mass of Ba(ClO₄)₂·3H₂O = 390.23 g/mol
  • 66.4 g ÷ 390.23 g/mol = 0.170 mol Ba(ClO₄)₂·3H₂O

0.170 moles of Ba(ClO₄)₂·3H₂O would produce 0.170 moles of 0.170 moles of Ba(ClO₄)₂. Meaning we now <u>convert 0.170 moles of Ba(ClO₄)₂ into grams,</u> using the molar mass of Ba(ClO₄)₂:

  • 0.170 mol * 336.23 g/mol = 57.2 g

Which of the following would have the highest buffer capacity?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

1.25 M HCO₃⁻ / 1.25 M CO₃²⁻

Explanation:

Buffer capacity refers to the amount of a strong acid or base required per liter of the buffer to change its pH by one. This amount is directly related to the concentration of the conjugate acid-base pair in the buffer since the buffer pair neutralizes the strong acid or base.

Thus, the highest buffer capacity is found in the solution that has the highest concentration of the conjugate acid-base pair, which is 1.25 M HCO₃⁻ / 1.25 M CO₃²⁻ .

Answer:

Extraction of aluminium

Aluminium ore is called bauxite . The bauxite is purified to produce aluminium oxide, a white powder from which aluminium can be extracted. The extraction is done by electrolysis. The ions in the aluminium oxide must be free to move so that electricity can pass through it.
