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.

The chemical formula for baking soda is NaHCO. Does baking soda contain metallic or non-metallic elements? Which one is which?
Fed [463]

Answer:

Both metals and non metals.

Explanation:

The correct formula of baking soda is NaHCO₃,

An element is considered to be metal if it is able to give electron easily due to very low ionization energy.

A non metal is ready to accept electron easily due to high electron affinity.

In sodium bicarbonate :

Na: Sodium : metal

H : Hydrogen: non metal (although placed with first group, alkali metals, in the periodic table as it readily loses electron like metals)

C: Carbon: Non metal

O : Oxygen : Non metal.

So the compound contains both metals and non metals.

34 atoms of carbon (C) react with 22 molecules of hydrogen gas (H2). How many molecules of methane (CH4) will be formed, and wha
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

11 molecules of CH4.

23 atoms of C is the leftover.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for the formation of methane:

C+2H_2\rightarrow CH_4

We can see there is an excess of carbon based on their stoichiometry, because the needed amount of hydrogen gas molecules would be:

molecules _{H_2}=34atomC*\frac{2molec\ H_2}{1atomC} =68molec\ H_2

Thus, the formed molecules of methane are computed below:

molec\ CH_4=22molec\ H_2 *\frac{1molec\ CH_4}{2molmolec\ H_2} \\\\molec\ CH_4=11molec\ CH_4

In such a way, the leftover of carbon atoms are:

atoms \ C^{left over}=34-22molec\ H_2*\frac{1atoms C}{2molec\ H_2} \\\\atoms \ C^{left over}=23 atoms C

Best regards!

What is thermal expansion?
Charra [1.4K]
Thermal expansion<span> is the tendency of matter to change in shape, area, and volume in response to a change in temperature, through heat transfer. Temperature is a monotonic function of the average molecular kinetic energy of a substance. When a substance is heated, the kinetic energy of its molecules increases.</span>
