This statement is <u>TRUE.</u>

Explanation:

Due to the high heat capacity of water, it takes much more energy to have a gram of water raised by one degree compared to one gram of land. This is why during a hot day, the ground gets hotter faster than the adjacent oceans or adjacent lakes. It also takes water to lose the same amount of energy to have its temperatures drop by one degree as compared to land. During the night, therefore, this is why adjacent water bodies remain relatively warmer than land.

andreev551 [17]

Answer;
A decrease in the vapor pressure of the liquid.

Dissolving a solute such as potassium hydroxide in a solvent such as water results in a decrease in the vapor pressure of the liquid.

Explanation;
The vapor pressure of a liquid is the equilibrium of a vapor above its liquid.
In other words it is the pressure of the vapor resulting from the evaporation of a liquid above a given sample of the liquid in a closed container.
The vapor pressure of a liquid in a closed container depends on the temperature.

The distance between a carbon atom and an oxygen atom in the co molecule is how far from the carbon atom is the center of mass o

DENIUS [597]

The distance between a carbon atom and an oxygen atom in the co molecule is 0.63

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>

Distance is the measurement of the farness of two objects from each other.

The distance between the molecules can be calculated by the given formula

$xcm = m_1+m_2m_1\times 1+m_2 \times 2$

Putting the values in the equation

$xcm = 12+1612 \times 0+16 \times 1.1 = 0.63 A^\circ$

Thus, the distance between a carbon atom and an oxygen atom in the co molecule is 0.63

Draw a cooling graph of water as it passes from 20°C to –20°C. The y-axis should be temperature in degrees Celsius and the x-axi

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Kindly, see the attached image.

Explanation:

As clear in the attached image:

It represents the cooling curve of water.

It starts from 20°C, the water exists in the liquid phase.

With time the temperature is decreased, reaching 0°C, the two phases (liquid and solid) are co-exist.

Then, with further cooling and under 0°C reaching -20°C, all the water are exist in the solid phase (Ice).

<em>Kindly, see the attached image that clarify the cooling graph of water as it passes from 20°C to –20°C. </em>
