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.

When water evaporates, what happens to the molecules that make up the liquid water?
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Evaporation happens when a liquid substance becomes a gas. When water is heated, it evaporates. The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as molecules of water vapor.

Additional solute is added to a saturated solution of a solid and a liquid after being heated above room temperature. Once no mo
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

After the solution is heated, but before additional solute is added

Explanation:

An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less solute than it can normally hold at a given temperature. Hence an unsaturated solution can still dissolve more solute.

When the solution is heated, the saturated cold solution becomes an unsaturated hot solution which is capable of dissolving more solute at this point.

Once more solute is dissolved, the solution becomes saturated again just before it begins to cool since no more solute dissolves in the solution at some point before cooling and addition of seed crystals.

What substance is oxidized in the following reaction? 4HCl + MnO2 → Cl2 + 2H2O + MnCl2
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Cl⁻ was oxidized.

Explanation:

  • 4HCl + MnO₂ → Cl₂ + 2H₂O + MnCl₂

Oxidation can be defined as the process in which the oxidation number of a substance increases.

On the left side of the equation, Cl has a charge of -1 (in HCl); while on the right side of the equation Cl has a charge of 0 in Cl₂.

Thus, Cl⁻ was oxidized.

Determine the equilibrium constant, Kp, for the following reaction, by using the two reference equations below: 2 NO(g) + O2(g)
klio [65]

Answer:

Kp=3.07x10^6

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by knowing the given reference reactions, one could rearrange them as follows:

2 NO(g) \leftrightarrow N_2(g) + O_2(g); Kp_2 = \frac{1}{2.3 x 10^{-19}}=4.35x10^{18}

N_2(g) + 2O_2(g) \leftrightarrow 2NO_2(g);Kp_3=(8.4x10^{-7})^2=7.056x10^{-13}

Subsequently, to obtain the main reaction, we add the aforementioned reference rearranged reactions as shown below (just as reference):

2NO(g)+N_2(g)+2O_2\leftrightarrow 2NO_2(g)+N_2+O_2

Consequently, the equilibrium constant is computed as:

Kp=\frac{[N_2][O_2]}{[NO]^2} * \frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2][O_2]^2} =Kp_2*Kp_3=4.35x10^{18}*7.056x10^{-13}=3.07x10^6

Best regards.
