Why does spring tides occur

Chemistry
1 answer:
g100num [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Because the Moon and the Sun are along the same line with the Earth

Explanation:

Tides are phenomenon that occur periodically on Earth. The term "tides" refer to the increase/decrease in the sea level in oceans and seas due to the combined effect of the gravitational force of the Moon and of the Sun on the water on Earth. In fact, the Moon (and the Sun also) exerts an attractive gravitational force on the water in the oceans, causing the sea level to rise when the Moon is facing that portion of water.

In particular, two types of tides are possible:

- Spring tides: these occurs when the Moon and the Sun are along the same line. In this situation, the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun on the water act along the same line, so the combined effect is to increase the amount of tide, so the sea level rises more.

- Neap tides: these occurs when the Moon and the Sun are at 90 degrees from each other, with respect to the Earth. As a result, the gravitational force exerted by the Moon and the Sun on the water act perpendicular to each other, so the combined effect of the tide on the water is less than the spring tides, so the sea level is lower than the spring tides.

Does sugar dissolved in pure water conduct electricity
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

When sugar is dissolved in water, the solution does not conduct electricity, because there are no ions in the solution. Some substances that are made of molecules form solutions that do conduct electricity. Ammonia is such a substance.

The pressure on 150 mL of a gas is increased from 500 mm Hg to 700 mm Hg at constant temperature. What is the new volume of the
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Option A. 107 mL

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial volume (V₁) = 150 mL

Initial pressure (P₁) = 500 mmHg

Final pressure (P₂) = 700 mmHg

Temperature = constant

Final volume (V₂) =?

The final volume of the gas can be obtained by using the Boyle's law equation as shown below:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

500 × 150 = 700 × V₂

75000 = 700 × V₂

Divide both side by 700

V₂ = 75000 / 700

V₂ = 107 mL

Therefore, the final volume of the gas is 107 mL.

Based on the equation, how many grams of Br2 are required to react completely with 36.2 grams of AlCl3?
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

65.08 g.

Explanation:

  • For the reaction, the balanced equation is:

<em>2AlCl₃ + 3Br₂ → 2AlBr₃ + 3Cl₂,</em>

2.0 mole of AlCl₃ reacts with 3.0 mole of Br₂ to produce 2.0 mole of AlBr₃ and 3.0 mole of Cl₂.

  • Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of 36.2 grams of AlCl₃:

<em>n = mass/molar mass</em> = (36.2 g)/(133.34 g/mol) = <em>0.2715 mol.</em>

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

2.0 mole of AlCl₃ reacts with → 3.0 mole of Br₂, from the stichiometry.

0.2715 mol of AlCl₃ reacts with → ??? mole of Br₂.

∴ The no. of moles of Br₂ reacts completely with 0.2715 mol (36.2 g) of AlCl₃  = (0.2715 mol)(3.0 mole)/(2.0 mole) = 0.4072 mol.

<em>∴ The mass of Br₂ reacts completely with 0.2715 mol (36.2 g) of AlCl₃ = no. of moles of Br₂ x molar mass</em> = (0.4072 mol)(159.808 g/mol ) = <em>65.08 g.</em>

What is the molarity of a strong acid solution with a pH of 3?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Since HCl is a strong acid, it completely ionizes, and the pH of HCl in solution can be found from the concentration (molarity) of the H+ ions, by definition equal to 0.100 M. (The conjugate base of the acid, which is the chloride ion Cl–, would also have a concentration of 0.100 M.) The pH is thus –log(0.100) = 1.000.

How man grams of cl2 are consumed to produce 12.0 g of KCl
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

5.71 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

2 K + Cl₂ ⇒ 2 KCl

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 12.0 g of KCl

The molar mass of KCl is 74.55 g/mol.

12.0 g × 1 mol/74.55 g = 0.161 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of Cl₂ needed to produce 0.161 moles of KCl

The molar ratio of Cl₂ to KCl is 1:2. The moles of Cl₂ needed are 1/2 × 0.161 mol = 0.0805 mol

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.0805 moles of Cl₂

The molar mass of Cl₂ is 70.91 g/mol.

0.0805 mol × 70.91 g/mol = 5.71 g
