Explain how deep ocean currents form.

Chemistry
1 answer:
vivado [14]2 years ago
8 0

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.

Calculate the solubility of carbon dioxide in water at an atmospheric pressure of 0.400 atm (a typical value at high altitude).
likoan [24]

Answer:

1.40*10⁻² M

Explanation:

We have the solubility formula

Solubility,

S = KH*P  

where

KH = measure of hardness of water / carbonate hardness = 3.50*10⁻² mol/L.atm

P = atmospheric pressure = 0.400 atm

Hence, we have

S = KH*P

= (3.50*10⁻² mol/L.atm)*(0.400 atm)

= 1.40*10⁻² mol/L

But 1 mol/L = 1 M,

Hence, the answer (1.40*10⁻² mol/L ) is equivalent to

= 1.40*10⁻² M

After 11.5 days, 12.5% of a sample of radon-222 that originally weighed 42g remains. What is the half-life of this isotope?
Bond [772]
Half-life is defined as the amount of time it takes a given quantity to decrease to half of its initial value.  The equation to describe the decay is
Nt=N0(1/2) ^{t/t(1/2)}  where N0 is the initial quantity, Nt is the remaining quantity after time t, t1/2 is the half-time.  So work out the equation, t1/2 = t (-ln2)/ln(Nt/N0) = 11.5*(-ln2)/ln(12.5/100) = 3.83 days
