Answer:

The sinking of large masses of cool water gives rise to the (aka thermohaline circulation), which is derived by density gradients due to variations in the temperature and the salinity. The earth's rotation on its axis also influences deep ocean currents (the high and low tides).

Explanation:

Salinity is the saltiness or amount of salt dissolved in a body of water, called saline water- Dictionary term

Density is the degree of compactness of a substance.- Dictionary term

Draw the structures of two stereoisomeric alkenes that would give 3-hexanol as the only major product of hydroboration followed

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

cis-3-hexene and trans-3-hexene

Explanation:

Hydroboration oxidation is a method of preparation of alcohol from alkene.

Hydroboration follows anti-Markovnikoff rule in which alcohol group attached to less substituted carbon. Stereochemistry of the product is always syn that is H and OH attached to the same side of the double bond.

cis-3-hexene and trans-3-hexene undergoes hydroboration to form 3-hexanol.

Explain how many protons, neutrons, and electrons can be found in an atom of carbon-12.

andriy [413]

A typical atom has six protons and six neurons, and it has an atomic weight of 12 Amu. A carbon also has six electrons, but they are so small that they don’t contribute to carbons weight. An element is defined by the number of protons in its nucleus

The map shows the global distribution of amphibians. The number of different amphibian species found in an area is

harkovskaia [24]

What's up? im not gonna type a whole thing but you probably could make do with this info:

amphibians need water and a moist environment. north africa will constantly have droughts/low amounts of water, so amphibians could not survive there. in Antarctica, it is much too cold and as cold blooded animals they would simply freeze to death

best of luck with your studies

Answer: In $H_2$ molecule, there are 2 atoms of hydrogen present.

Explanation:

Coefficients are defined as the numbers that are written in the front of atoms or molecules during a chemical reaction. They represent the number of moles of the substance present in a chemical reaction.

For Example: $2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O$

2 moles of hydrogen gas is reacting with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of water molecule.

Subscript numbers are defined as the number of atoms of each element present in a compound.

For Example: In $CO_2$ , 2 atoms of oxygen element is there and 1 atom of carbon element is there.

Superscript numbers are defined as the charges of ions reacting in a chemical reaction.

For Example: In $Ca^{2+}$ , 2+ charge is present on calcium ion.

We are given:

A molecule of hydrogen which is $H_2$

The number '2' is present in subscript, which represents the number of atoms in a molecule or a compound.

Hence, in $H_2$ molecule, there are 2 atoms of hydrogen present.
