Answer:

a. A global wind moving over the ocean

Explanation:

The surface water both north as well as

south of the equator do experience

upwelling. There is a rise of the nutrients to the surface . Ocean surface currents occur as a result of global wind as well as the shape of ocean basin and Coriolis effect

A certain gas is present in a 10.0 LL cylinder at 4.0 atmatm pressure. If the pressure is increased to 8.0 atmatm the volume of

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The gas obeys Boyle’s law and the value of $k_i\&k_f$ both are equal to 40.0 atm L.

Explanation:

Initial volume of the gas = $V_1=10.0 L$

Initial pressure of the gas = $P_1=4.0 atm$

Final volume of the gas = $V_2=5.0 L$

Final pressure of the gas = $P_2=8.0 atm$

This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.

$PV=k$

The equation given by this law is:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

$P_1\propto \frac{1}{V_1}$

$P_1V_1=k_i$

$k_i=4.0 atm\times 10.0 L = 40.0 atm L$

$P_2\propto \frac{1}{V_2}$

$P_V_2=k_f$

$k_f=8.0 atm\times 5.0 L = 40.0 atm L$

$k_i=k_f=40.0 atm L$

The gas in the cylinder is obeying Boyle's law.

The gas obeys Boyle’s law and the value of $k_i\&k_f$ both are equal to 40.0 atm L.

How does the size of a nanoparticle compare with the size of an atom?

RSB [31]

A nanoparticle is larger than an atom. A nanoparticle is usually made from a few hundred atoms. These particles range from 1 nanometers to 100 nanometers. On the other hand an atom ranges from 0.1 nanometers to 105 nanometers. Using the sizes above, one can clearly see and understand that an atom is smaller.

The literature value for the Ksp of Ca(OH)2 at 25 °C is 4.68E−6. Imagine you ran the experiment and got a calculated value for K

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

D. The Ca[OH]2 solution may have been unsaturated

Explanation:

The solubility product constant Ksp of any given chemical compound is a term used to describe the equilibrium between a solid and the ions it contains solution. The value of the Ksp indicates the extent to which any compound can dissociate into ions in water. A higher the Ksp, implies more greater solubility of the compound in water.

If the Ksp is more than the value in literature, this false value must have arisen from the fact that the solution was unsaturated hence it appears to be more soluble than it should normally be when saturated.

How do scientists determine locations for drilling for natural gas? Where are many natural gas drill sites located? (Site 2)

Alchen [17]

Explanation:

By drilling several cores miles apart , geologist can correlate the rock units and create an image what exists and where below the surface.

Combining this information with rocks exposed to the surface , which can gives clues about rock orientation below, can be a powerful tool to locating oil and gas .

3. Once magnesium (Mg) gives up electron(s) to become an ion, it will become

xeze [42]

Answer:

Option B. Cation that is smaller than the original atom.

Explanation:

Magnesium is a divalent element. This implies that magnesium can give up 2 electrons to become an ion (cation) as shown below:

Mg —> Mg²⁺ + 2e¯

Next, we shall write the electronic configuration of magnesium atom (Mg) and magnesium ion (Mg²⁺). This can be written as follow:

Mg (12) = 2, 8, 2

Mg²⁺ (10) = 2, 8

From the above illustration, we can see that the magnesium atom (Mg) has 3 shells while the magnesium ion (Mg²⁺) has 2 shells.

This simply means that the magnesium ion (Mg²⁺) i.e cation is smaller that the original magnesium atom (Mg).
