Why do ocean waves make a good source of energy?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Ocean waves contain tremendous energy potential. Wave power devices extract energy directly from the surface motion of ocean waves. In many areas of the world, the wind blows with enough consistency and force to provide continuous waves along the shoreline.

which statement best describes the equation caco3 2hcl → cacl2 co2 h2o? caco3 is a reactant; it is present before the reaction o
fomenos

Answer: CaCO_3 is a reactant; it is present before the reaction occurs.

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction the chemical formulas written before the arrow are described as reactants as they react together to form products which are written after the arrow.

CaCO_3 + 2HCl \rightarrow CaCl_2 + CO_2 + H_2O

Thus CaCO_3 and HCl are reactants here whereas CO_2, CaCl_2 and H_2O are products.

Each iron atom has a mass of about 9 x 1023 grams. Even a small grain of iron has an incredible number of atoms in. it--about 1
AveGali [126]

Answer:

A) The number of atoms in a grain of iron is most similar to the number of meters between Earth and Vega.

The options attached to the question are missing, but out of the numbers presented in the options, 10¹⁷ is closest to 10¹⁸.

B) The mass of a grain of iron is approximately (9 × 10⁻⁵) g

Explanation:

The options attached to the question are missing, after searching online, the image of the question was obtained, but it won't be attached to this solution in order not to violate the community guidelines and lead to deletion of answer.

But, out of the numbers presented in the options, 10¹⁷ is closest to 10¹⁸, hence, the number of atoms in a grain of iron is most similar to the number of meters between Earth and Vega.

The second part of the question asks for the approximate mass of a grain of iron.

1 atom of iron has a mass of (9 × 10⁻²³) g

1 grain of iron has about (1 × 10¹⁸) atoms of iron.

So, the mass of a grain of iron = (9 × 10⁻²³) × (1 × 10¹⁸) = (9 × 10⁻⁵) g

Hope this Helps!!!
