What increases the salinity of the ocean surface water, causing it to sink downward? Help

Chemistry
1 answer:
frutty [35]3 years ago
7 0

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.

For the reaction NH4NO3 (s) → N2O (g) + 2H2O (l), you decompose 1 mole NH4NO3 and only get 0.75 moles of N2O. The percent yield
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The answer to your question is False.

Explanation:

Data

1 mole of NH₄NO₃

0.75 moles of N₂O

Percent yield = 25%

Chemical reaction

               NH₄NO₃   ⇒   N₂O  +  2H₂O

Process

1.- Determine the theoretical yield

              1 mol NH₄NO₃ ------------- 1 mol of N₂O

2.- Calculate the percent yield

             Percent yield = Actual yield / Theoretical yield  x 100

-Substitution

              Percent yield = 0.75 / 1 x 100

-Simplification

              Percent yield = 0.75 x 100

-Result

              Percent yield = 75%

Conclusion

False, the actual percent yield is 75%

Particle 1 has a velocity v1 = 2 m/s and a mass m1 = 2 kg . this particle collides with particle 2 of mass m2 = 6 kg , which is
creativ13 [48]
This follows the law of conservation of momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of object. 
Momentum = mass(m) x velocity(v) 
law of conservation of momentum means that the total momentum of system before the collision of 2 objects is equal to the total momentum after the collision 
Before the collision total momentum 
= m1v1 + m2v2
m1 = 2 kg
v1 = 2 m/s
m2 = 6 kg
v2 = 0 m/s
substituting the values in the equation 
total momentum before = (2 kg x 2 m/s) + (6 kg x 0 m/s)
total momentum = 4 kgm/s
after the collision the 2 objects stick together and have a common velocity 
total momentum after the collision  = (6 kg + 2 kg)x V  = 8V
V = speed of the conglomerate particle

since total momentum before is equal to total momentum after
8V = 4
V = 2 m/s
speed of conglomerate particle is 2 m/s

For the balanced chemical reaction
musickatia [10]

Answer:

150

Explanation:

  • C₄H₂OH + 6O2 → 4CO2 + 5H₂O

We can <u>find the equivalent number of O₂ molecules for 100 molecules of CO₂</u> using a <em>conversion factor containing the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced reaction</em>, as follows:

  • 100 molecules CO₂ * \frac{6moleculesO_2}{4moleculesCO_2} = 150 molecules O₂

150 molecules of O₂ would produce 100 molecules of CO₂.
