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.

Be sure to answer all parts. Write the equations representing the following processes. In each case, be sure to indicate the phy

barxatty [35]

Answer:

1. $S^{-}(g)+e^{-} \rightarrow S^{2-}(g)$

2. $Ti^{2+}(g) \rightarrow Ti^{3+}(g) \,\, IE = 2652.5\,kJ.mol^{-1}$

3.The electron affinity of $Mg^{2+}$ is zero.

4. $O^{2-}(g) \rightarrow O^{-}(g)+e^{-}$

Explanation:

Electron affinity:

It is defined as the amount of energy change when an electron is added to atom in the gaseous phase.

The electron affinity of $S^{-}$ is as follows.

$S^{-}(g)+e^{-} \rightarrow S^{2-}(g)$

Ionization energy:

Amount of energy required to removal of an electron from an isolated gaseous atom.

The third ionization energy of Titanium is as follows.

$Ti^{2+}(g) \rightarrow Ti^{3+}(g) \,\, IE = 2652.5\,kJ.mol^{-1}$

The electronic configuration of Mg: $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}$

By the removal of two electrons from a magnesium element we get $Mg^{2+}$ ion.

$Mg^{2+}$ has inert gas configuration i.e, $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}$

Hence, it does not require more electrons to get stability.

Therefore,the electron affinity of $Mg^{2+}$ is zero.

The ionization energy of $O^{2-}$ is follows.

$O^{2-}(g) \rightarrow O^{-}(g)+e^{-}$

If 12.5 grams of strontium hydroxide is reacted with 150 mL of 3.5 M carbonic acid, identify the limiting reactant.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Sr(OH)₂ will be the limiting reagent.

Explanation:

First of all, you should know the following balanced chemical equation:

2 H₂CO₃ + 2 Sr(OH)₂ → 4 H₂O + Sr₂(CO₃)₂

The balanced equation is based on the Law of Conservation of Mass, which says that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, the number of each type of atom on each side of a chemical equation must be the same.

The limiting reagent is one that is consumed first in its entirety, determining the amount of product in the reaction. When the limiting reagent is finished, the chemical reaction will stop.

To determine the limiting reagent, it is possible to use the reaction stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction). By stoichiometry the following amounts in moles react:

strontium hydroxide: 2 moles
carbonic acid: 2 moles

Now, you know the following masses of the elements:

Sr: 87.62 g/mole
O: 16 g/mole
H: 1 g/mole

So the molar mass of strontium hydroxide is:

Sr(OH)₂= 87.62 g/mole + 2*(16 g/mole + 1 g/mole)= 121.62 g/mole

You apply the following rule of three, if 121.62 grams of hydroxide are present in 1 mole, 12.5 grams in how many moles are they?

$moles of strontium hydroxide=\frac{12.5 grams*1 mole}{121.62 grams}$

moles of hydroxide= 0.103 moles

On the other hand, you have 150 ml of 3.5 M carbonic acid. Since molarity is the concentration of a solution expressed in the number of moles dissolved per liter of solution, you can apply the following rule of three: if in 1 L there are 3.5 moles of carbonic acid, in 0.150 L (being 1 L = 1000 mL, 0.150 L = 150 mL) how many moles of acid are there?

$molesofcarbonicacid=\frac{0.150 L*3.5 moles}{1 L}$

moles of carbonic acid= 0.525 moles

Finally, to calculate the limiting reagent, you can use a simple rule of three as follows: if by stoichiometry 2 mole of strontium hydroxide reacts with , how much moles of carbonic acid will be needed if 0.103 moles of strontium hydroxide react?

$molesofcarbonicacid=\frac{0.103 moles of strontium hydroxide*2 moles of carbonic acid}{2 moles of strontium hydroxide}$

moles of carbonic acid= 0.103 moles

But 0.525 moles are available. Since more moles are available than you need to react with 0.103 moles of strontium hydroxide, Sr(OH)₂ will be the limiting reagent.
