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.

Which of the following is altered by a catalyst?
Vika [28.1K]
<span>In chemistry, a catalyst can speed up the reaction (or make it initiate easier) by altering the activation energy, lowering it enough to allow the reactants to react more easily. Some negative catalysts or inhibitors can do the same by increasing the activation energy.

Olive oil has a density of 0.92 g/mL. How much would 1 liter of olive oil weigh in grams?
svp [43]
Dimension analysis is to be used to solve this problem. First convert 1L to milliliters. That is equivalent to 1000 ml. Then by dimension analysis, multiply the volume ( 1000ml) to the density of oil (0.92 g/ml) resulting to the answer: 920 grams.

A 3.140 molal solution of NaCl is prepared. How many grams of NaCl are present in a sample containing 2.314 kg of water?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

g NaCl = 424.623 g

Explanation:

<em>C</em> NaCl = 3.140 m = 3.140 mol NaCl / Kg solvent

∴ solvent: H2O

∴ mass H2O = 2.314 Kg

mol NaCl:

⇒ mol NaCl = (3.140 mol NaCl/Kg H2O)×(2.314 Kg H2O) = 7.266 mol NaCl

∴ mm NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

⇒ g NaCl = (7.266 mol NaCl)×(58.44 g/mol) = 424.623 g NaCl
