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.

In an aqueous chloride solution cobalt(ii) exists in equilibrium with the complex ion cocl42-. co2 (aq) is pink and cocl42-(aq)

liraira [26]

First you should know that the Principle of Le Chatelier states that if a system in equilibrium is subjected to a change of conditions, it will move to a new position in order to counteract the effect that disturbed it and recover the state of equilibrium.

The variation of one or several of the following factors can alter the equilibrium condition in a chemical reaction:

Temperature
The pressure
The volume
The concentration of reactants or products

1. This reaction is: a. exothermic

The chemical equilibrium at issue is:

CoCl₄²⁻ ⇄ Co²⁺ + 4Cl⁻ + heat

blue pink

The reaction of the question is exothermic because when adding heat (at high temperature) the equilibrium moves to the left since the blue color is strong which means that there are more reagent (CoCl₄²⁻) that product (Co²⁺). On the other hand, when extracting heat from the system (at low temperature) the equilibrium moves to the right since the pink color predominates and more product is present in the solution.

2. When the temperature is decreased the equilibrium constant, k: c. remains the same.

As mentioned above, a system in equilibrium that is disturbed will move to a new position in order to counteract the effect that disturbed it and recover the state of equilibrium. In this way, the system will always remain in equilibrium and its equilibrium constant will remain constant. This is why, despite altering the temperature of the system, the equilibrium constant remains constant.

3. When the temperature is decreased the equilibrium concentration of Co²⁺: a. increases

Again, the chemical equilibrium at issue is:

CoCl₄²⁻ ⇄ Co²⁺ + 4Cl⁻ + heat

As the reaction in question is exothermic when the temperature decreases, heat is extracted from the system. To compensate this decrease in heat, the system will react by shifting the balance to the right, increasing the concentration of the products and, therefore, the concentration of Co²⁺.

Define the following terms:

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

a)An endothermic reaction is any chemical reaction that absorbs heat from its environment. The absorbed energy provides the activation energy for the reaction to occur eg Melting of ice, Evaporating liquid water

b)An Exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that involves the release of energy in the form of heat or light.eg a spark, flame, or flash), electricity , a battery), or sound , explosion heard when burning hydrogen).

c)By definition an exothermic reaction produces heat as part of it’s process. The heat generated just by being alive is an exothermic process as well. And as such we become aware of when we feel “too cold” or “too hot” and try to either adjust to the conditions we are in, or minimize them, if possible. It is not merely odd, but contrary to intelligent living, that we choose to increase our discomfort and also risk our health by intentionally increasing not only the exothermic reactions we use but also maximize them to our own detriment. In short, the increased use of inefficient exothermic reactions while inexpensive in current evaluations of financial cost are extremely expensive in terms of it’s effect upon living things, including ourselves. It is as though we are choosing our homes to not only be next to a furnace, but as close as possible to the process.

a) it is important to know chemical properties and compounds.] [Chemistry helps our industry produce more materials—such as paints, plastics, iron or steel, cement, kerosene, and also motor oil. Chemistry also helps farmers to enrich the soil with chemicals ... to grow fresh vegetables.]

If a buffer solution is 0.190 m in a weak acid (ka = 8.2 × 10-5) and 0.590 m in its conjugate base, what is the ph?\

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

You use the Henderson - Hasselbalch equation pH = pKa + log ([salt]/[acid]) pKa = -log (8.2*10^-5) = 4.081 pH = 4.081 + (0.590/0.190) pH = 4.081 + log 3.105 pH = 4.081 + 0.49206 pH = 4.573
