What is the likely impact of water's high specific heat on life on Earth? (3 points)

Chemistry
1 answer:
statuscvo [17]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Marine life is least affected by the temperature fluctuations of the atmosphere.

Explanation:

The high specific heat capacity of water means that it takes much more energy to raise the temperatures of water by one (1) degree than land. This means that on a hot sunny day, land temperatures would increase dramatically while ocean temperatures would only rise slightly. Conversely,  at night, the land cools rapidly while oceans cool slowly hence the temperatures drop slightly.

Which statement describes a scientific theory?
vichka [17]
Best Answer
C) is the best description, although a scientific theory is not necessarily a "fact". They are, however, based on evidence.

A) is complete garbage.

B) is a good description of a scientific "law"- something that predicts how a certain event will occur without explaining why this is (for instance, the law of gravity accurately describes the gravitational forces between two bodies, but does not explain why these forces are there).

D) is a scientific "hypothesis"- an explanation for an observed phenomena that is yet to be proven.

Identify the correct mole ratio for each substance. Sodium chloride (NaCl) Na:Cl = 1: Ammonium nitrate (NHNO) H:O = 4:
Norma-Jean [14]

<u>Answer:</u> The mole ratio of H : O in ammonium nitrate is 4 : 3.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given a compound named ammonium nitrate having formula NH_4NO_3

There are 3 elements in this compound which are nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen.

To calculate the mole ratio, we write the ratio of their subscripts. For this compound, it is:

N:H:O::2:4:3

The mole ratio of H and O for this compound is 4 : 3.
