Solar energy does not warm Earth’s surface evenly. For example, during the day, land areas warm up faster than nearby bodies of

water. How does this uneven warming affect the movement of air over land and water?

Answer:

Land and sea breeze

Explanation:

This uneven warming of the land during the day results in the phenomenon called land and sea breeze.

During the day, the land heats up faster than the nearby ocean.
Ocean is made up of water with a high specific heat capacity.
This derives pressurized air near the surface of the land to the ocean.
At night, the ocean does not easily lose heat after the land has lost its own.
Pressurized air moves from the ocean to the land.
This causes the warming of the land during the night.

The molar heat capacity of a compound with the formula C2H6SO is 88.0 J/mol-K. The specific heat of this substance is __________

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer : The specific heat of this substance is, 1.13 J/g.K

Explanation :

Molar heat capacity : It is defined as the amount of heat absorbed by one mole of a substance to raise its temperature by one degree Celsius.

As we are given that the chemical formula of compound is, $C_2H_6SO$

First we have to calculate the molar mass of given compound.

Molar mass of $C_2H_6SO$ = $2(12g/mol)+6(1g/mol)+32g/mol+16g/mol$

Molar mass of $C_2H_6SO$ = 78 g/mol

Now we have to calculate the specific heat of this substance.

Specific heat of this substance = $\frac{\text{Molar heat capacity of a compound}}{\text{Molar mass of }C_2H_6SO}$

Specific heat of this substance = $\frac{88.0J/mol.K}{78g/mol}$

Specific heat of this substance = 1.13 J/g.K

Thus, the specific heat of this substance is, 1.13 J/g.K

Propanoic acid, ch3ch2cooh, has a pka =4.9. draw the structure of the conjugate base of propanoic acid and give the ph above whi

xenn [34]

Conjugate base of Propanoic acid ( $CH_{3}CH_{2}COOH$ is propanoate where -COOH group gets converted to -CO $O^{1-}$ . The structure of conjugate base of Propanoic acid is shown in the diagram.

The $p^{H}$ above which 90% of the compound will be in this conjugate base form can be determined using Henderson's equation as propanoic acid is weak acid and it can form buffer solution on reaction with strong base.

$p^{H}$ = $p^{k_{a}$ + log $\frac{[Conjugate base]}{[acid]}$ =4.9+log $\frac{90}{10}$ =5.85

As 90% conjugate base is present, so propanoic acid present 10%.
