C. Convection currents in the air

Explanation:

Near the shore, winds tends to blow out towards the water at night and this is driven by convection currents in the air.

Convection occurs in fluids. Since we are dealing with wind, therefore, it is convection in air.

At night, the air on land is cold and under high pressure.
The shore area is able lose and gain heat very fast.
At night, since the shore is cold, the air around is cold too.
The ocean has high heat capacity and does not lose or gain heat easily.
At night, it still retains come of its heat.
This causes nearby winds to warm up, becomes less dense and rises.
The wind here is moves towards the cold land
The breeze on land moves outwards towards the ocean.
This will then set up convection currents.

What is a chemical reaction. in your own words but be more detailed about what you say.

Answer:

A chemical reaction is the change in chemical form rather than physical due to an outside force. This can come from something as simple as a change in temerature to as large as a specific element or compound.

Answer:

Three chemical elements: hydrogen, oxygen, and helium.

The difference between metals and metalloids is: metalloids have properties in between those of the metals and non-metals and are semiconductors.

The periodic table is organized by the elemts atomic number, it goes from the element with the lowest atomic number (which is hydrogen) to the element with the highest atomic number (oganesson)

Antacids work to relieve stomach acids because of which of the following types of reactions?

Anastaziya [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which larger compound breaks down into two or more smaller compounds.

$AB\rightarrow A+B$

Double displacement reactions is defined as the chemical reaction in which exchange of ions takes place.

$AB+CD\rightarrow AD+CB$

Synthesis reaction is a type of reaction in which two or more smaller compounds combines to form a single large compound.

$A+B\rightarrow AB$

Single displacement reaction is a type of reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its chemical reaction.

$A+BC\rightarrow AC+B$

In stomach, an acid is present known as hydrochloric acid and to neutralize its effect, antacid is taken which has $CaCO_$ as a component.

The reaction between HCl and $CaCO_3$ is a type of neutralization reaction and it is a type of double displacement reaction.

The equation between the two follows:

$CaCO_3+HCl\rightarrow CaCl_2+H_2O+CO_2$

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
