Why does spring tides occur

Chemistry
1 answer:
g100num [7]2 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.

Hi May I know how to balance this
almond37 [142]

Answer:

  2Ba₃(PO₄)₂ +6SiO₂ ⇒ P₄O₁₀ +6BaSiO₃

Explanation:

Equating coefficients, you get ...

  aBa₃(PO₄)₂ +bSiO₂ ⇒ cP₄O₁₀ +dBaSiO₃

For Ba: 3a = d

For P: 2a = 4c

For O: 8a +2b = 10c +3d

For Si: b = d

__

Expressing everything in terms of b and c, we get ...

  d = b

  a = b/3 = 2c

From the second, b = 6c, so we have ...

  a = 2c

  b = 6c

  c = c

  d = 6c

And we can write the equation with c=1 as ...

  2Ba₃(PO₄)₂ +6SiO₂ ⇒ P₄O₁₀ +6BaSiO₃

A generic weak acid with formula HA has a Ka = 2.76 x 10-8. Calculate the Kb for the conjugate base of the acid.
Reika [66]

Answer:

3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb

Explanation:

The acid equilibrium of a weak acid, HX, is:

HX + H₂O ⇄ X⁻ + H₃O⁺

Where Ka = [X⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [HX]

And basic equilibrium of the conjugate base, is:

X⁻ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + HX

Where Kb = [OH⁻] [HX] / [X⁻]

To convert Ka to Kb we must use water equilibrium:

2H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

Where Kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] [H₃O⁺]

Thus, we can obtain:

Kw = Ka*Kb

Solving for Kb:

Kw / Ka = Kb

1x10⁻¹⁴ /  2.76x10⁻⁸ =

3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb

The value of Ka for nitrous acid (HNO2) at 25 ∘C is 4.5×10−4 .a. Write the chemical equation for the equilibrium that correspond
kvv77 [185]

Answers and Explanation:

a)- The chemical equation for the corresponden equilibrium of Ka1 is:

2. HNO2(aq)⇌H+(aq)+NO−2

Because Ka1 correspond to a dissociation equilibrium. Nitrous acid (HNO₂) losses a proton (H⁺) and gives the monovalent anion NO₂⁻.

b)- The relation between Ka and the free energy change (ΔG) is given by the following equation:

ΔG= ΔGº + RT ln Q

Where T is the temperature (T= 25ºc= 298 K) and R is the gases constant (8.314 J/K.mol)

At the equilibrium: ΔG=0 and Q= Ka. So, we can calculate ΔGº by introducing the value of Ka:

⇒ 0 = ΔGº + RT ln Ka

   ΔGº= - RT ln Ka

   ΔGº= -8.314 J/K.mol x 298 K x ln (4.5 10⁻⁴)

  ΔGº= 19092.8 J/mol

c)- According to the previous demonstation, at equilibrium ΔG= 0.

d)- In a non-equilibrium condition, we have Q which is calculated with the concentrations of products and reactions in a non equilibrium state:

ΔG= ΔGº + RT ln Q

Q= ((H⁺) (NO₂⁻))/(HNO₂)

Q= ( (5.9 10⁻² M) x (6.7 10⁻⁴ M) ) / (0.21 M)

Q= 1.88 10⁻⁴

We know that   ΔGº= 19092.8 J/mol, so:

ΔG= ΔGº + RT ln Q

ΔG= 19092.8 J/mol + (8.314 J/K.mol x 298 K x ln (1.88 10⁻⁴)

ΔG= -2162.4 J/mol

Notice that ΔG<0, so the process is spontaneous in that direction.

Which system is not directly connected to itself
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

B) Digestive

Explanation:

The system is dependent in the digestive system because it sends the nutrients to the bones and this helps the bone growth and the repair. It can not be A. since the skeleton system is connected with the muscular system physically, this is to protect muscles and allow the skeletal muscles to make the bones move, so this system is connected with itself with the help of the muscular system! The endocrine is somewhat connected with the nervous system, they are both essential to the communication and response system. This eliminates A and C and leaves you with B!
