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

Chemistry
1 answer:
mina [271]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Consider the following reaction:
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The three statements are true

Explanation:

For the reaction:

I₂O₅(s) + 5CO(g) → I₂(s) + 5CO₂(g)

State oxidation of iodine in I₂O₅ is:

5 O²⁻ = 10⁻

As you have 2 I and the molecule has no charge, <em>oxidation state of I is +5</em>.

The carbon in CO has an oxidation state of +2 and in CO₂ is +4. That means <em>the carbon is oxidized</em>

<em />

An oxidizing agent is a substance that produce the oxidation of the agent that reacts with this one. CO is oxidized because of I₂O₅ is producing its oxidation being <em>the oxidizing agent</em>

<em></em>

Thus,<em> the three statements are true</em>.

By what mechanism does cyclohexanol react when treated in sulfuric acid and what compound results?A) E 1; methoxycyclohexane B)
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

E 1: cyclohexene

Explanation:

This reaction is an example of the dehydration of cyclic alcohols. The reaction proceeds in the following steps;

1) The first step of the process is the protonation of the cyclohexanol by the acid. This now yields H2O^+ attached to the cyclohexane ring.

2) the water molecule, which a good leaving group now leaves yielding a carbocation. This now leaves a cyclohexane carbocation which is highly reactive.

3) A water molecule now abstracts a proton from the carbon adjacent to the carbocation leading to the formation of cyclohexene and the regeneration of the acid catalyst. This is an E1 mechanism because it proceeds via a carbocation intermediate and not a concerted transition state, hence the answer.

Describe the method of steel manufacture used when removes the impurities carbon, phosphorus and sulfur​
melisa1 [442]

Explanation:

Steelmaking is the process of producing steel from iron ore and/or scrap. In steelmaking, impurities such as nitrogen, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur and excess carbon (most important impurity) are removed from the sourced iron, and alloying elements such as manganese, nickel, chromium, carbon and vanadium are added to produce different grades of steel.

Carvone is a substance that occurs in two forms having different arrangements of the atoms but the same molecular formula (c10h1
Korvikt [17]

The molecular mass of Carvone is calculated as;

                          =  12 (C)₁₀  +  1.008 (H)₁₄  +  16 (O)

                          =  120  +  14.112  +  16

                          =  150.112

%age of Carbon;

                          =  (120 ÷ 150.112) × 100

                          =  79.94 %

%age of Hydrogen;

                          =  (14.112 ÷ 150.112) × 100

                          =  9.40 %

%age of Oxygen;

                          =  (16 ÷ 150.112) × 100

                          =  10.65 %
