What causes deep ocean currents to flow

Chemistry
1 answer:
valkas [14]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:Deep ocean currents (also known as Thermohaline Circulation) are caused by: ... The sinking and transport of large masses of cool water gives rise to the thermohaline circulation, which is driven by density gradients due to variations in temperature and salinity. The earth's rotation also influences deep ocean currents.

Trimix 10/50 is a gas mixture that contians 10% oxygen and 50% helium, and the rest is nitrogen. If a tank of trimix 10/50 has a
Nataly_w [17]

Answer: 1.61 x 10⁴ kPa

Dalton's law <u>states that the sum of the partial pressures of each gas equals the total pressure of the gas mixture.</u> According to this law,

Pi = xi P

where Pi is the partial pressure of the gas i, xi is the mole fraction of the gas i in the gas mixture and P is the total pressure.

The mole fraction <u>is defined as the quotient between the moles of solute (ni) and the total moles of the mixture (nt)</u>, which is calculated by adding the moles of all its components:

xi = \frac{n_{i} }{n_{t} }

In the Trimix 10/50 mix you have 10% oxygen, 50% helium and 40% nitrogen.

To calculate the total number of moles of the mixture and thus determine the molar fraction of helium, we consider 100 g and calculate the number of moles that represent 10 g of O₂ (n₁), 50 g of He (n₂) and 40 g of N₂ (n₃):

n₁ =  10 g x \frac{1 mol}{31.998 g} = 0.313 mol

n₂ =  50 g x \frac{1 mol}{8.005 g} = 6.246 mol

n₃ =  40 g x \frac{1 mol}{28.013 g} = 1.428 mol

Then the total number of moles (nt) will be:

nt = n₁ + n₂ + n₃ = 0.313 mol + 6.246 mol +1.428 mol

nt = 7,987 mol

Then, the mole fraction of helium (x₂) in the mixture will be,

x₂ =  \frac{6.246 mol}{7.987 mol} = 0.78

and the partial pressure of helium in the mixture, according to Dalton's law, will be:

P₂ = x₂ P = 0.78 x 2.07 x 10⁴ kPa

P₂= 1.61 x 10⁴ kPa

So, <u>the partial pressure of helium if a tank of trimix 10/50 has a total pressure of 2.07 x 104 kPa is  1.61 x 10⁴ kPa</u>

Wine goes bad soon after opening because the ethanol (CH3CH2OH) dissolved in it reacts with oxygen (O2) gas to form water and aq
andrezito [222]

The number of mole of oxygen needed is of 0.080 mole.

To solve this question, we'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

<h3>CH₃COOH + 2O₂ —> CO₂ + 2H₂O</h3>

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of O₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of H₂O.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of O₂ needed to produce 0.080 mole of H₂O. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of O₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of H₂O.

Therefore,

0.080 mole of O₂ will also react to produce 0.080 mole of H₂O.

Thus, 0.080 mole of oxygen, O₂, is needed for the reaction.

Briefly describe the movement of water through the water cycle
kotegsom [21]

1) Evaporization is phase change process in which the water changes from a liquid to a gas (water vapor). Solar radiation is the source of energy for evaporation.

2) Condensation is phase change process in which the water changes from a gas to a liquid, the vapor becomes a cloud.

3) Precipitation is falling of the condensed water vapor as rain, snow, fog drip.

The water cycle (hydrological cycle) is the continuous movement of water all around the Earth.
