If a wave has a wave height of 5 meters, in what depth of water would it begin to break?

Chemistry

Answer:

6.5 meters

Explanation:

Background Knowledge:

The most familiar example of breaking wave is the breaking of water surface waves on a coastline.

Explanation:

The process of Wave breaking in most of the cases occurs when the amplitude reaches the point that the crest of the wave actually overturns

Factors by which waves are produced:

Different type of waves are produced and varied according to different type of factors. These factors are

Wind direction

Type of swell

Sea floor features

Slope of sea bed

Direct answer of the question:

In general rule, Waves start to break on reaching a water depth of 1.3 times the wave height.

In this question wave height is 5 meters so wave breaks on

5 × 1.3 = 6.5 meters

The dissolution of 0.200 l of sulfur dioxide at 19 °c and 745 mmhg in water yields 500.0 ml of aqueous sulfurous acid. The solut
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Molarity=1.22\ M

Explanation:

Given:  

Pressure = 745 mm Hg

Also, P (mm Hg) = P (atm) / 760

Pressure = 745 / 760 = 0.9803 atm

Temperature = 19 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T₁ = (19 + 273.15) K = 292.15 K  

Volume = 0.200 L

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

0.9803 atm × 0.200 L = n × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 292.15 K  

⇒n = 0.008174 moles

From the reaction shown below:-

H_2SO_3+2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2SO_3+2H_2O

1 mole of H_2SO_4 react with 2 moles of NaOH

0.008174 mole of H_2SO_4 react with 2*0.008174 moles of NaOH

Moles of NaOH = 0.016348 moles

Volume = 13.4 mL = 0.0134 L ( 1 mL = 0.001 L)

So,

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Molarity=\frac{0.016348}{0.0134}\ M

Molarity=1.22\ M

Living organisms use atoms from sugar molecules combined with other elements to form lipids and nucleic acids. Lipids are hydrophobic organic compounds composed of carbon and a high ratio of hydrogen to oxygen. Nucleic acids are an acidic polymer of nucleotides found or produced in the cell nucleus.

True

Explanation:

Harry Hess in 1961 resurrected Wegener's continental drift hypothesis and also he mantle convection idea of Arthur Holmes by postulating the theory of sea floor spreading.

  • After Wegener's postulation of the continental drift hypothesis, not much was done.
  • It was only around 1931 that Arthur Holmes came up with the idea of a convecting mantle.
  • After the second world war passed, new instruments were used to investigate and map the ocean floor.
  • Through this, Arthur Holmes came up with the idea of a spreading sea floor.
  • This gave a full gleam picture to the idea of a moving earth and the more accepted terminology of "Plate tectonics " came to the fore.
