Chemistry

True [87]2 years ago

Antarctica or the south pole , which is mostly ice, is much colder than the arctic or the north pole, which is a mixture of ice and water. This is because the liquid water in the Arctic Ocean would absorb and release more heat which would keep the temperature in the region to fluctuate frequently. Also, the specific heat of ice is less than the specific heat of water which means that the temperature of ice would easily change. Another reason would be that  the Antarctica have stronger winds so it would absorb heat faster making the average temperature much colder that the Arctic ocean.

Zinc iodide              ZnI₂            H₂O(ℓ),  I⁻(aq), Zn²⁺(aq),  

Nitrogen(I) oxide     N₂O           H₂O(ℓ),  N₂O(aq)

Sodium nitrite         NaNO₂      H₂O(ℓ),  Na⁺(aq), NO₂⁻(aq)

Glucose                   C₆H₁₂O₆    H₂O(ℓ),  C₆H₁₂O₆(aq)

Nickel(II) iodide       NiI₂            H₂O(ℓ),  I⁻(aq), Ni²⁺(aq)

  • Glucose and nitrogen(I) oxide are covalent compounds. They do not dissociate in solution.
  • The compounds containing metals are ionic. They produce ions in solution.
  • ZnI₂ and NiI₂ produce twice as many iodide ions as metal ions.
