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.

An iron nail rusts when exposed to oxygen. According to the following reaction, how many grams of iron(III) oxide will be formed
natka813 [3]

Answer: 103.8 g of Fe_2O_3, 0.65 moles of

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{31.1}{32}=0.975moles

Thus O_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and Fe is the excess reagent.

4Fe(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

According to stoichiometry :

3 moles of O_2 produce =  2 moles of Fe_2O_3

Thus 0.975 moles of O_2 will produce=\frac{2}{3}\times 0.975=0.65moles of Fe_2O_3

Mass of Fe_2O_3=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.65moles\times 159.69g/mol=103.8g

Thus 103.8 g of Fe_2O_3 will be produced.

What is the number of moles of glucose C6H12O6 in a 134g sample?
Shkiper50 [21]
The question is simply asking to convert from units of mass to units of moles. To do this, a conversion factor is needed. For this case, we use the molar mass of glucose which is equal to 180.18 g/mol. We do as follows:

134 g C6H12O6 ( 1 mol / 180.18 g ) = 0.744 mol <span>C6H12O6</span>
