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.

A hydrocarbon is burnt completely to give 3.447g of

goblinko [34]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $CH_2$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon, hydrogen, iron and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_y+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x' and 'y' are the subscripts of carbon and hydrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=3.447g$

Mass of $H_2O=1.647g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 3.447 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 3.447=0.940g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 1.647 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 1.647=0.183g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.940g}{12g/mole}=0.0783moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.183g}{1g/mole}=0.183moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0783 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.0783}{0.0783}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.183}{0.0783}=2.34\approx 2$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H = 1 : 2

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $CH_2$

What’s the answer ?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

45.3°C

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Initial pressure (P1) = 82KPa

Initial temperature (T1) = 26°C

Final pressure (P2) = 87.3KPa.

Final temperature (T2) =.?

Step 2:

Conversion of celsius temperature to Kelvin temperature.

This is illustrated below:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

Initial temperature (T1) = 26°C

Initial temperature (T1) = 26°C + 273 = 299K.

Step 3:

Determination of the new temperature of the gas. This can be obtained as follow:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

82/299 = 87.3/T2

Cross multiply to express in linear form

82 x T2 = 299 x 87.3

Divide both side by 82

T2 = (299 x 87.3) /82

T2 = 318.3K

Step 4:

Conversion of 318.3K to celsius temperature. This is illustrated below:

T(°C) = T(K) – 273

T(K) = 318.3K

T(°C) = 318.3 – 273

T(°C) = 45.3°C.

Therefore, the new temperature of the gas in th tire is 45.3°C

Ty for anyone helping!

23. Enzyme A, as the temperature increases, the rate of reaction goes down. However, Enzyme B as the temperature goes up the reaction goes up.

24. Enzyme B is more active in a human cell, the reaction is what you want and everytime the temperature goes up in enzyme B the reaction goes up.
