Chemistry

ValentinkaMS [17]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct answer is the third statement, that is, when the heated substance gets near to the surface, it starts to cool.

Explanation:

A current that arises within a fluid due to convection is termed as the convection current. In comparison to the surface, the core is extremely hot, thus, both core and the surface exhibit very distinct temperatures. The mantle rises towards the surface when it gets heated as it moves close to the core. However, when it moves towards the surface, the mantle starts to turn cool and denser.  

Afterward, the magma, which is cool, again then begins to move close to the core, and gets heated and rises again, this phenomenon results in the emergence of convection currents.

Ocean water contains 3.5 nacl by mass. what mass of ocean water in grams contains 45.8 g of nacl
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Mass percentage of sodium chloride(NaCl) in ocean waters = 3.5 %

That means 3.5 g sodium chloride(NaCl) is present for every 100 g of ocean water.

The given mass of sodium chloride(NaCl) is 45.8 g

Calculating the mass of ocean waters that would contain 45.8 g sodium chloride(NaCl):

45.8 g NaCl *\frac{100g ocean water}{3.5g NaCl}

                     = 1309 g ocean water

Therefore, 45.8 g sodium chloride is present in 1309 g ocean water.

Law Incorporation [45]

Aspartame (C₁₄H₁₈N₂O₅) is a solid used as an artificial sweetener. its combustion produces carbon dioxide gas, liquid water, and nitrogen gas

C₁₄H₁₈N₂O₅ + 16O₂-----> 14CO₂ + 9H₂O + N₂.

As it can be seen from the equation, that the coefficient of nitrogen gas in the balanced equation for the reaction is 1.

So the answer here is 1 only that is coefficient of nitrogen gas in the balanced equation for the reaction is 1.
