What is El Niño?

Biology
1 answer:
Anastasy [175]3 years ago
5 0

El Niño: an irregularly occurring and complex series of climatic changes affecting the equatorial Pacific region and beyond every few years, characterized by the appearance of unusually warm, nutrient-poor water off northern Peru and Ecuador, typically in late December.

La Niña: a cooling of the water in the equatorial Pacific, which occurs at irregular intervals, and is associated with widespread changes in weather patterns complementary to those of El Niño, but less extensive and damaging in their effects.

how they differ: La Niña is sometimes referred to as the cold phase of ENSO and El Niño as the warm phase of ENSO. These deviations from normal surface temperatures can have large-scale impacts not only on ocean processes, but also on global weather and climate. ... Typically, El Niño occurs more frequently than La Niña.

How would you make 2.5 liters of an aqueous solution containing 150mM Tris (the MW of Tris is 120g/mole)? (Hint: Do the necessar
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

45 g of the solid Tris will be dissolved in 2.5 liters of water.

Explanation:

Recall that:

<em>Number of moles  = molarity x volume</em>

Hence, number of moles of Tris present in 2.5 liters, 150 mM solution:

= 150/1000 x 2.5 = 0.375 moles

Also, recall that:

<em>No of moles of substance = mass/molar mass.</em>

Hence, mass of 0.375 moles substance:

= no of moles of the substance x molar mass of the substance.

= 0.375 x 120 = 45 g.

Therefore, in order to prepare 2.5 liters, 150 mM of an aqueous solution of Tris, 45 g of the solid Tris will be dissolved in 2.5 liters of water.
