Thermohaline currents are influenced by wind. True or false?

Chemistry
1 answer:
tresset_1 [31]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

The under-water deep ocean currents that are generated due to the differences in the water density are generally termed as the thermohaline circulation. It is mainly controlled by the two factors namely the temperature and the salinity. The word 'thermohaline' is directly derived from the temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline).

This thermohaline circulation is considered as the oceanic conveyor belt that allows the water to move under the surface of water at certain depths from the equator to the poles and back from the poles to the equator.

Thus, it is directly associated with the density of the water. It has no relation with the wind.

Hence, the above statement is False.

Based on the Lewis/electron dot representation
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

A. 1:3

Explanation:

If we look at the ions shown in the image attached to the question, we will notice that we have aluminum (Al^3+), a trivalent ion combining with the iodide ion (I^-).

Aluminum can easily give out its three outermost electrons to three atoms of iodine. If aluminum gives out its three electrons, it achieves the stable octet structure. Iodine atoms have seven electrons in their outermost shell. They only need one more electrons to complete their octet. This one electron can be gotten by the combination of three iodine atoms with one atom of aluminum. One electron each is transferred from the aluminum atom to each iodine atom to form AlI3 with a ratio of 1:3.

You have 50 ml of a complex mixture of weak acids that contains some HF (pKa = 3.18) and some HCN (pKa = 9.21). Which is larger,
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

\frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger

Explanation:

pK_{a}=-logK_{a} , where K_{a} is the acid dissociation constant.

For a monoprotic acid e.g. HA, K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][A^{-}]}{[HA]} and \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}=\frac{K_{a}}{[H^{+}]}

So, clearly, higher the K_{a} value , lower will the the pK_{a}

In this mixture, at equilibrium, [H^{+}] will be constant.

K_{a} of HF is grater than K_{a} of HCN

Hence, (\frac{F^{-}}{[HF]}=\frac{K_{a}(HF)}{[H^{+}]})>(\frac{CN^{-}}{[HCN]}=\frac{K_{a}(HCN)}{[H^{+}]})

So, \frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger
