Why does liquid exerts pressure

andriy [413]

Answer:

The particles of fluids are constantly moving in all directions at random. As the particles move, they keep bumping into each other and into anything else in their path. These collisions cause pressure, and the pressure is exerted equally in all directions.

What is the limiting factor in determining the accumulation of siliceous ooze/calcareous ooze, respectively?

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

productivity and water depth

Explanation:

The productivity and the depth of water are both equally important as it directly affects the accumulation of biogenic sediments such as the siliceous ooze and calcareous ooze. In the equator and the coastal upwelling areas, and at the site of divergence of oceans, there occurs a high rate and amount of productivity, and these are considered to be the primary productivity.

The siliceous oozes are a good indicator of extensively high productivity in comparison to the carbonate oozes. The main reason behind this is that the silica can be easily dissolved in the surface water. On the other hand, the carbonates dissolve at a relatively lower ocean water depth, so there requires a high amount of surface productivity in order to allow these siliceous oozes to reach the ocean bottom.

Thus, the water depth and productivity, both are considered as the limiting factor in determining the accumulation of biogenic oozes.

Compare 1 mole of H2, 1 mole of O2, and 1 mole of F2. (a) Which has the largest number of molecules? Explain why. (b) Which has

AURORKA [14]

a) Answer:

Number of molecules in 1 mole

Explanation:

a) Whether we take any of the substance among all three of the given substances they will have the same number of molecules in 1 mole of the substance is considered and the value for this will be $6.023 x 10^23$

b) Answer:

In the given question mass of the substance which is greatest is asked for one mole and we also know that mass of one mole is given by molar mass.

Explanation:

b) It is known that $31.98g/mol$ is the molar mass for oxygen which is greater than that of hydrogen while fluorine has a molar mass of $38.0 g/mol$ which on comparison shows that, it is the highest amongst all three.
