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

Chemistry
1 answer:
valkas [14]2 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.

What is the difference between Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion? Also any examples of them
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Hiya there!

Explanation:

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.

For example, uranium can fission to yield strontium and krypton. Fusion joins atomic nuclei together. The element formed has more neutrons or more protons than that of the starting material. For example, hydrogen and hydrogen can fuse to form helium.

What is the result of crystals boiling the impure product with too much solvent and then cooling on ice?
VMariaS [17]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that when we tend to dilute an impure product with too much of solvent then it will lead to dissolution of the solute. As a result, the chances of formation of crystal reduces.

And, when we increase the temperature then there will occur increase in the number of collisions between the solute and solvent molecules.

Hence, solubility of the solute also increases with increase in temperature,  placing it on ice bath will further reduce the crystal formation, hence no crystal should be formed in the reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that the result of crystals boiling the impure product with too much solvent and then cooling on ice is that no crystals are produced.

Answer :

Charles's Law : It is defined as the volume is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

Mathematically,

V\propto T

                                Boiling water bath        Cool bath 1       Cool bath 2

Temperature (⁰C)                  99                              17                       2

Temperature (K)(T)    273+99=372             273+17=290      273+2=275

Volume of water                  0.0                             27.0                34.0

in cool flask (mL)

Volume of water=              135.8                           135.8               135.8

Air in flask (mL)

Volume of air                    135.8                           108.8               101.8

in cool flask (V)

\frac{V}{T}                                \frac{135.8}{372}=0.365             \frac{108.8}{290}=0.375         \frac{101.8}{275}=0.370

The graph volume versus temperature for a gas is shown below.

Do Alkali Metal Compounds form precipitates? And Why?
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Alkali metal hydroxides can be used to test the identity of metals in certain salts. The colour of the precipitate will help identify the metal : Calcium hydroxide is soluble; no precipitate is formed.
