Answer:

Deep ocean currents (also known as Thermohaline Circulation) are caused by: The sinking and transport of large masses of cool water gives rise to the thermohaline circulation, which is driven by density gradients due to variations in temperature and salinity. The earth's rotation also influences deep ocean currents.

Natural gas is stored in a spherical tank at a temperature of 13°C. At a given initial time, the pressure in the tank is 117 kPa

drek231 [11]

Answer:

1. the absolute pressure in the tank before filling = 217 kPa

2. the absolute pressure in the tank after filling = 312 kPa

3. the ratio of the mass after filling M2 to that before filling M1 = 1.44

The correct relation is option c ( $\frac{M_{2} }{M_{1} } = \frac{P_{2} T_{1} }{P_{1} T_{2} }$ )

Explanation:

To find -

1. What is the absolute pressure in the tank before filling?

2. What is the absolute pressure in the tank after filling?

3. What is the ratio of the mass after filling M2 to that before filling M1 for this situation?

As we know that ,

Absolute pressure = Atmospheric pressure + Gage pressure

So,

Before filling the tank :

Given - Atmospheric pressure = 100 kPa , Gage pressure = 117 kPa

⇒Absolute pressure ( p1 ) = 100 + 117 = 217 kPa

Now,

After filling the tank :

Given - Atmospheric pressure = 100 kPa , Gage pressure = 212 kPa

⇒Absolute pressure (p2) = 100 + 212= 312 kPa

Now,

As given, volume is the same before and after filling,

i.e. $V_{1}$ = $V_{2}$

As we know that, P ∝ M

⇒ $\frac{p_{1} }{p_{2} } = \frac{m_{1} }{m_{2} }$

⇒ $\frac{m_{2} }{m_{1} } = \frac{p_{2} }{p_{1} }$

⇒ $\frac{m_{2} }{m_{1} } = \frac{312 }{217 } = 1.4378$ ≈ 1.44

Now, as we know that PV = nRT

As V is constant

⇒ P ∝ MT

⇒ $\frac{P}{T}$ ∝ M

⇒ $\frac{M_{2} }{M_{1} } = \frac{P_{2} T_{1} }{P_{1} T_{2} }$

So, The correct relation is c option.

Which equation represents the oxidation half-reaction for this redox reaction? Ca + Al(NO3)3 → Al + Ca(NO3)2

vodomira [7]

The oxidation half reaction of the reaction given above would be: Ca → Ca + 2e−. Oxidation is the loss of electrons of an element while its counterpart is called the reduction which gains the electrons that has been lost. Hope this answers the question.
