Why is the speed of the earths plate measured in centimeter per year instead of in meter per second?

Physics

Just to get a more convenient number.

  1 centimeter per year is the same as 0.000000000317 meter per second.

Measured in centimeters per year, you get a number that's much easier
to write down, remember, and tell other people about.

Exactly the same reason that we describe the speed of a snail in
feet per minute, not miles per hour.

onsider 1000 mL of a 1.00 × 10-4 M solution of a certain acid HA that has a Ka value equal to 1.00 × 10-4. Water was added or re
solmaris [256]

Answer:

The volume of the final solution, V = 0.0305L

Explanation:

Number of moles = Concentration * volume

Concentration of HA = 1.00 * 10⁻⁴M

Volume of HA = 1000mL = 1 L

Number of moles of HA =  1.00 * 10⁻⁴ * 1

Number of moles of HA =  1.00 * 10⁻⁴ mols

Equation of reaction:

HA → H⁺  +  A⁻

If 1 mol of HA produces 1 mol of H⁺  and  A⁻, 1.00 * 10⁻⁴ mol of HA will produce 1.00 * 10⁻⁴ mol of  H⁺  and  A⁻.

Since only 16% dissociation occurs = 0.16

Number of moles of  H⁺ produced = 0.16 *  1.00 * 10⁻⁴

Number of moles of  H⁺ produced = 1.6 * 10⁻⁵mols

Number of moles of  A⁻ produced = 0.16 *  1.00 * 10⁻⁴

Number of moles of  A⁻ produced = 1.6 * 10⁻⁵mols

Since 16% of HA dissociated into  H⁺  and  A⁻, 84% of HA is left

Number of mols of HA left = 0.84 *  1.00 * 10⁻⁴

Number of mols of HA left =  8.4 * 10⁻⁵mols

Concentration = num of moles/volume

Let the volume of the final solution be V

Conc of HA = 8.4 * 10⁻⁵/V

Conc of H⁺ = 1.6 * 10⁻⁵/V

Conc of A⁻ =  1.6 * 10⁻⁵/V

To calculate the dissociation constant

k_{a} = [H^{+} ][A^{-} ]/[HA]

k_{a}= [1.6 * 10^{-5} /V][1.6 * 10^{-5} /V]/[8.4 * 10^{-5} /V]\\k_{a}= 3.05 * 10^{-6} /V\\k_{a} = 1.00 * 10^{-4}\\ 1.00 * 10^{-4} = 3.05 * 10^{-6} /V\\V= 3.05 * 10^{-6}/ 1.00 * 10^{-4}\\V=3.05 * 10^{-2}\\V=0.0305 L

1.Velocity (v) is a vector quantity that measures displacement (or change in position, Δs) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation v = Δs/Δt. Speed (or rate, r) is a scalar quantity that measures the distance traveled (d) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation r = d/Δt.

Heat from the sun causes ________________ of water from the ocean and land surfaces
Whitepunk [10]
In this item, we are asked for the word that would best fit in the blank of the sentence given above. The word that is missing in this item is "<em>evaporation</em>".

Evaporation is part of the water cycle wherein the liquid molecule of water is converted to water vapor and stays in the atmosphere until it is converted back to water for precipitation.
