Winds in the Northern Hemisphere shift in a clockwise direction. What cause this change in direction?

Chemistry

mina [271]3 years ago

Answer:

The earth rotates on its axis from west to east. This rotation causes both the wind and ocean currents to move from east to west. Thus, the wind movement and ocean currents in the northern hemisphere goes clockwise and counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere.

Because Earth rotates on its axis from west towards the east, air near the surface from the tropics is moved toward a westerly direction (toward the right as it is often called) in the northern hemisphere. Notice the difference between the lines drawn when the globe did not move (shown with arrow heads) and the lines which were drawn as Earth rotated.

k0ka [10]
The percent composition by mass of an element is determined by dividing the molar mass of the element by the molar mass of the compound. In this case, the molar mass of magnesium is 24. Hence the answer to this problem is A. 24/184 x 100

A buffer contains 0.18 mol of propionic acid (C2H5COOH) and 0.26 mol of sodium propionate (C2H5COONa) in 1.20 L. What is the pH
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

1) pH = 5.05

2) pH = 5.13

3) pH = 4.97

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles of propionic acid = 0.18 moles

Number of moles sodium propionate = 0.26 moles

Volume = 1.20 L

Ka = 1.3 * 10^-5    → pKa = 4.989

Step 2: Calculate concentrations

Concentration = moles / volume

[acid]= 0.18/ 1.2 =0.150 M

[salt]= 0.26/ 1.3 = 0.217 M

pH = 4.89 + log(0.217/0.150)=<u>5.05</u>

What is the pH of the buffer after the addition of 0.02 mol of NaOH?

moles acid = 0.18 - 0.02 = 0.16

[acid]= 0.16/ 1.2=0.133 M

moles salt = 0.26 + 0.02 = 0.28

[salt]= 0.28/ 12=0.233

pH = 4.89 + log 0.233/ 0.133 = 5.13

What is the pH of the buffer after the addition of 0.02 mol of HI?

moles acid = 0.18+ 0.02 = 0.20 moles

[acid]= 0.20/ 1.2 = 0.167 M

[salt]= 0.26 - 0.02= 0.24 moles

[salt]= 0.24/ 1.2 = 0.20 M

pH = 4.89 + log 0.20/ 0.167= 4.97
