Answer:

Thermohaline Circulation

Explanation:

The process is known as “Thermohaline Circulation”. In the Earth’s polar regions ocean water gets very cold, forming sea ice. As a consequence the surrounding seawater gets saltier, because when sea ice forms, the salt is left behind. As the seawater gets saltier, its density increases, and it starts to sink.

The high concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere of Mars inhibits infrared radiation from escaping and keeps the

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mars atmosphere contains mainly carbon iv oxide, but the greenhouse effect as subdued as there is so little CO2 overall.

Venus as a planet contains 96.5% of carbon iv oxide. it doesn't contain water which can trap the CO2 as we have on earth where the oceans are able to trap the CO2 present and subdue the greenhouse effect. This inability to trap CO2 in Venus prevents infrared rays from escaping and with the fact the Venus is closer to the sun than earth and mars, its surface it extremely hot.

How many moles is 1.25 x 1024 atoms of bromine?

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

2.08 moles (3 s.f.)

Explanation:

number of moles

= number of atoms ÷ Avogadro's constant

Avogadro's constant= 6.022 ×10²³

Thus, number of moles

= 1.25×10²⁴ ÷ (6.022 ×10²³)

= 2.08 moles (3 s.f.)

In a titration of 47.41 mL of 0.3764 M ammonia with 0.3838 M aqueous nitric acid, what is the pH of the solution when 47.41 mL +

Volgvan

Answer: The pH of the solution is 1.136

Explanation:

To calculate the moles from molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

For ammonia:

Molarity of ammonia = 0.3764 M

Volume of ammonia = 47.41 mL = 0.04741 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.3764mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of ammonia}}{0.04741L}\\\\\text{Moles of ammonia}=0.01784mol$

For nitric acid:

Molarity of nitric acid = 0.3838 M

Volume of ammonia = (47.41 + 10.00) mL = 57.41 mL= 0.05741 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.3838mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of nitric acid}}{0.05741L}\\\\\text{Moles of nitric acid}=0.02203mol$

After the completion of reaction, amount of nitric acid remained = 0.022 - 0.0178 = 0.0042 mol

For the reaction of ammonia with nitric acid, the equation follows:

$NH_3+HNO_3\rightarrow NH_4NO_3$

At $t=0$ 0.0178 0.022

Completion 0 0.0042 0.0178

As, the solution of the reaction is made from strong acid which is nitric acid and the conjugate acid of weak base which is ammonia. So, the pH of the reaction will be based totally on the concentration of nitric acid.

To calculate the pH of the reaction, we use the equation:

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

where,

$[H^+]=\frac{0.0042mol}{0.05741L}=0.0731M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=-\log(0.0731)\\\\pH=1.136$

Hence, the pH of the solution is 1.136

What is ph? And explain where it can be used

lubasha [3.4K]

PH is a measure of hydrogen(colorless, odorless) concentration of solutions. Ph is in solutions for an example like spray to clean the kitchen counter or table.These things have color and are odorless after a while.
