The correct answer is C. The sun

Why? - The heating of the Earth's surface and atmosphere by the sun drives convection within the atmosphere and ocean. This convection produces winds and ocean currents.

A rigid tank that contains 2 kg of N2 at 25°C and 550 kPa is connected to another rigid tank that contains 4 kg of O2 at 25°C an

koban [17]

Answer:

The volume in the first tank = 0.32 $m^{3}$

The volume in the second tank = 2.066 $m^{3}$

The final pressure of the mixture = 203.64 K pa

Explanation:

First Tank

Mass = 2 kg

Pressure = 550 k pa

Temperature = 25 °c = 298 K

Gas constant for nitrogen = 0.297 $\frac{KJ}{Kg K}$

From the ideal gas equation

P V = m R T

550 × V = 2 × 0.297 × 298

V = 0.32 $m^{3}$

This is the volume in the first tank.

Second tank

Mass = 4 kg

Pressure = 150 K pa

Temperature = 25 °c = 298 K

Gas constant for oxygen = 0.26 $\frac{KJ}{Kg K}$

From the ideal gas equation

P V = m R T

150 × V = 4 × 0.26 × 298

V = 2.066 $m^{3}$

This is the volume in the second tank.

This is the iso thermal mixing. i.e.

$P_{3} V_{3} = P_{1} V_{1} + P_{2} V_{2}$ ----- (1)

$V_{3} = V_{1} + V_{2}$

$V_{3} = 0.32 + 2.066$

$V_{3} = 2.386 \ m^{3}$

Put this value in equation (1)

$P_{3}$ × 2.386 = 550 × 0.32 + 150 × 2.066

$P_{3}$ = 203.64 K pa

Therefore the final pressure of the mixture = 203.64 K pa

What can be said of a closed system when an exothermic reaction proceeds in an aqueous solution?

lyudmila [28]

An exothermic reaction is a type of reaction that dissipates heat as the reaction proceeds. This would mean that in a closed system, when a reaction proceeds and is endothermic, the temperature of the solution or the system would increase so as to maintain the equilibrium with the whole system.

How would you prepare a 1.00L solution of 2.00 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH)*

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Explanation:

Molar mass of sodium hydroxide is = 100

any compund with its molar mass dissovled in 1L itres solution gives rise to 1M solution

40 g ------> 1L ---->1M

Xg ------>1L------>2M

X g= 40*1*2/1*1 =80 gram

A velocity-time graph shows how what changes over time?

finlep [7]

Answer:

A velocity-time graph shows how velocity changes over time. The sprinter's velocity increases for the first 4 seconds of the race, it remains constant for the next 3 seconds, and it decreases during the last 3 seconds after she crosses the finish line.
