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.

Firdavs [7]

In balancing reactions, it is important to remember that each of the side in the reaction should have the same number of elements. We do as follows:

<span>2SO2(g) + O2(g) -> 2SO3(g)

H2S(g) + 3/2O2(g) -> SO2(g) + H2O(g)

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

In an pot of water you have 2.5 L at 25oC. How much energy will be needed to heat up the water to 100oC

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

784500 Joules

Explanation:

To start, you will need an equation to find the change in energy. This can be found by using $Q = mCT$ or by using integrated heat capacities.
