Which of the following describes a property of water that helps sustain marine life forms?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mariana [72]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Open spaces in water's solid structure makes its solid state less dense than its liquid state.

Explanation:

  • Water unlike other liquids is special. It contracts when cooled, down to a temperature of 4°C but thereafter begins to expand as it reaches 0°C and turns into ice.
  • This property is useful for the preservation of marine life in very cold temperatures. During winter, the surface water in water lakes and rivers starts cooling. Upon reaching the temperature of 4°C, the surface water descends to the bottom as it denser.
  • This help in the maintenance of temperature of the water at the bottom at 4°C. It is in this layer that marine life is sustained.

3. What noble gas would be part of the electron configuration notation for Mn?
shusha [124]

Answer:

Argon {Ar}

Explanation:

The noble gas used for a condensed electron configuration is the one before the element which you are configuring.

In this case, the element (Mn) is manganese

The noble gas that is before this element is Argon which is the row above it

so your configuration would be {Ar} 3d^5 4s^2

What phenomenon does the Coriolis effect arise from making it so we see more than two large convection cells on Earth? Curvature
vredina [299]

Answer:

The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the earth around its own axis.

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect arises from the fact that different latitudes of the earth's surface rotate at different speeds. The path of wind on earth is deflected by the Coriolis effect. As things move over the earth, they meet different speed areas, which causes the Coriolis Effect to divert their route.

Thus, The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the earth around its own axis.

Can pressure affect the solubility of a substance in solution ? Explain
Tema [17]

Solubility is the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature. There are two direct factors that affect solubility: temperature and pressure. Temperature affects the solubility of both solids and gases, but pressure only affects the solubility of gases.

Solid NaBr is slowly added to a solution that is 0.073 M in Cu+ and 0.073 M in Ag+.Which compound will begin to precipitate firs
saul85 [17]

Answer :

AgBr should precipitate first.

The concentration of Ag^+ when CuBr just begins to precipitate is, 1.34\times 10^{-6}M

Percent of Ag^+ remains is, 0.0018 %

Explanation :

K_{sp} for CuBr is 4.2\times 10^{-8}

K_{sp} for AgBr is 7.7\times 10^{-13}

As we know that these two salts would both dissociate in the same way. So, we can say that as the Ksp value of AgBr has a smaller than CuBr then AgBr should precipitate first.

Now we have to calculate the concentration of bromide ion.

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

CuBr\rightleftharpoons Cu^++Br^-

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

K_{sp}=[Cu^+][Br^-]

4.2\times 10^{-8}=0.073\times [Br^-]

[Br^-]=5.75\times 10^{-7}M

Now we have to calculate the concentration of silver ion.

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

AgBr\rightleftharpoons Ag^++Br^-

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

K_{sp}=[Ag^+][Br^-]

7.7\times 10^{-13}=[Ag^+]\times 5.75\times 10^{-7}M

[Ag^+]=1.34\times 10^{-6}M

Now we have to calculate the percent of Ag^+ remains in solution at this point.

Percent of Ag^+ remains = \frac{1.34\times 10^{-6}}{0.073}\times 100

Percent of Ag^+ remains = 0.0018 %
