As the sun heats the surface of the oceans, two layers of water result. What separates the layers?

Chemistry

Basile [38]2 years ago

Answer:

Thermocline separate these two layers.

Explanation:

Ocean consist of three major layers on the basis of temperature.

1. Upper layer

2. Deep layer

3. Thermocline

Upper layer:

The first layer is called upper layer which is present on the surface and directly expose to the sun. The sun heat up this upper layer easily and warm it.

Deep layer

The deep layer is present below the thermocline. It is present in deep where sunlight can not approach to it and its temperature remain low.

Thermocline

It is the middle layer, present between the upper and deep layer. It separated the upper layer from deep layer. Its upper portion is warmer while lower is colder.

The solubility of KClO3(s) in water increases as the
algol [13]
<span>Answer: option (1) solubility of the solution increases.
</span><span />

<span>Justification:
</span><span />

<span>The solubility of substances in a given solvent is temperature dependent.
</span><span />

<span>The most common behavior of the solubility of salts in water is that the solubiilty increases as the temperature increase.
</span><span />

<span>To predict with certainty the solubility at different temperatures you need the product solubility constants (Kps), which is a constant of equlibrium of the dissolution of a ionic compound slightly soluble in water, or a chart (usually experimental chart) showing the solubilities at different temperatures.
</span><span />

<span>KClO₃ is a highly soluble in water, so you do not work with Kps.
</span><span />

<span>You need the solubility chart or just assume that it has the normal behavior of the most common salts. You might know from ordinary experience that you can dissolve more sodium chloride (table salt) in water when the water is hot. That is the same with KClO₃.


</span><span>The solubility chart of KlO₃ is almost a straight line (slightly curved upward), with positive slope (ascending from left to right) meaning that the higher the temperature the more the amount of salt that can be dissolved.</span>

B: The total thermal energy is greater in a large body of water than one much smaller

Explanation:

A large lake filled filled with cool water will have more thermal energy than smaller pond filled with warmer water because the total thermal energy is greater in a large body of water than one that is much smaller.

Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy usually due to transfer of heat energy.

Amount of heat energy is dependent on the differences in temperature, mass and specific heat capacity of a body.

Both lake water will have the same specific heat capacity. Since larger body of water has more mass, it will possess more thermal energy.

What is the net ionic equation for 2AgNO3 + 2NaOH = Ag2O + 2NaNO3 + H2O
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

2Ag⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → Ag₂O (s) + H₂O (l)

Explanation:

Step 1: RxN

2AgNO₃ + 2NaOH → Ag₂O + 2NaNO₃ + H₂O

Step 2: Define states of matter

2AgNO₃ (aq) + 2NaOH (aq) → Ag₂O (s) + 2NaNO₃ (aq) + H₂O (l)

Step 3: Total Ionic Equation

2Ag⁺ (aq) + 2NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2Na⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → Ag₂O (s) + 2Na⁺ (aq) + 2NO₃⁻ (aq) + H₂O (l)

Step 4: Cancel out spectator ions

2Ag⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → Ag₂O (s) + H₂O (l)
