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.

A gas cylinder of volume 5.00 l contains 1.00 g of ar and 0.500 g of ne. the temperature is 275 k. find the partial pressure of
amid [387]
<span>11.3 kPa The ideal gas law is PV = nRT where P = Pressure V = Volume n = number of moles R = Ideal gas constant (8.3144598 L*kPa/(K*mol) ) T = Absolute temperature We have everything except moles and volume. But we can calculate moles by starting with the atomic weight of argon and neon. Atomic weight argon = 39.948 Atomic weight neon = 20.1797 Moles Ar = 1.00 g / 39.948 g/mol = 0.025032542 mol Moles Ne = 0.500 g / 20.1797 g/mol = 0.024777375 mol Total moles gas particles = 0.025032542 mol + 0.024777375 mol = 0.049809918 mol Now take the ideal gas equation and solve for P, then substitute known values and solve. PV = nRT P = nRT/V P = 0.049809918 mol * 8.3144598 L*kPa/(K*mol) * 275 K/5.00 L P = 113.8892033 L*kPa / 5.00 L P = 22.77784066 kPa Now let's determine the percent of pressure provided by neon by calculating the percentage of neon atoms. Divide the number of moles of neon by the total number of moles. 0.024777375 mol / 0.049809918 mol = 0.497438592 Now multiply by the pressure 0.497438592 * 22.77784066 kPa = 11.33057699 kPa Round the result to 3 significant figures, giving 11.3 kPa</span>
