What is the likely impact of water's high specific heat on life on Earth?

Chemistry
1 answer:
valkas [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The high specific heat capacity of water means that it takes much more energy to raise the temperatures of water by one (1) degree than land. This means that on a hot sunny day, land temperatures would increase dramatically while ocean temperatures would only rise slightly. Conversely,  at night, the land cools rapidly while oceans cool slowly hence the temperatures drop slightly.

The diameter of a hydrogen atom is approximately 1.06 ✕ 10−10 m, as defined by the diameter of the spherical electron cloud arou
mylen [45]

Answer:

a) 10.0 mm

b) 8.7 x 10¹³ times

Explanation:

Atom diameter = 1.06 x 10⁻¹⁰ m  ________________ 100%

Nucleus diameter = 2.40 x 10⁻¹⁵ m ______________   x

x = 2.26 x 10⁻³ %

The nucleus diameter is equivalent to 2.26 x 10⁻³ % of the total atom size.

a) The Empire State Building model:

1 ft = 304.8 mm

1454 ft = 443179.2 mm

443179.2 mm______ 100%

        y           ______   2.26 x 10⁻³ %

              y = 10.0 mm

In this model,  the diameter of the nucleus would be 10.0 mm.

b) Sphere volume: V =(4 · π · r³ )/3

V atom = (4 . π .( 0.53x10⁻¹⁰)³ )/3

V atom = 6.2 x 10⁻³¹ m³

V nucleus = (4 . π .( 1.2x10⁻¹⁵)³ )/3

V nucleus = 7.2 x 10⁻⁴⁵ m³

V atom / V nucleus = 6.2 x 10⁻³¹ m³ / 7.2 x 10⁻⁴⁵ m³

V atom / V nucleus = 8.7 x 10¹³

The atom is  times 8.7 x 10¹³ larger in volume than its nucleus.

Could a man with type B blood and a woman with type AB produce a child with type O blood?
Luda [366]

Answer:

The possible genotypes of a man with blood type B are BB or BO and the genotype of a woman with blood type AB is AB. The child would receive an A allele or a B allele from the mother and a B allele or an O allele from the father. Therefore, the child could not possibly be of blood type O.

Answer:

Weathering involves the use of water and or wind to wear down the environment. The sand dunes were most likely carried by wind to form them and form its shape. Erosion most likely took away parts of the sand to make the sand dune. Deposition most likely deposited sand to the area.
