How does the ocean currents affect weather?

Chemistry

Explanation:

Ocean currents act as conveyer belts of warm and cold water, sending heat toward the polar regions and helping tropical areas cool off, thus influencing both weather and climate.Land areas also absorb some sunlight, and the atmosphere helps to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation. Ocean water is constantly evaporating, increasing the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air to form rain and storms that are then carried by trade winds. In fact, almost all rain that falls on land starts off in the ocean. The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area.

Answer:

a rapidly flowing river discharges into the ocean where tidal currents are weak.

Explanation:

The force of the river pushing fresh water out to sea rather than tidal currents transporting seawater upstream determines the water circulation in these estuaries.

40 g of CaCO3 is how many moles of CaCO3? 10 moles 0.4 moles 40 moles 100 moles

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

0.4 moles

Explanation:

To convert between moles and grams you need the molar mass of the compound. The molar mass of of CaCO3 is 100.09g/mol. You use that as the unit converter.

40gCaCO3* 1mol CaCO3/100.09gCaCO3 = 0.399640 mol CaCO3

This rounds to 0.4 moles CaCO3

What is the density of a cube of water measuring 2cmX4cmX1cm, with a mass of 8g?

Vinil7 [7]

The actual formula for volume for a cube is the length multiplied by the width and then multiplied by the height. Since all three measurements are the same, the formula results in the measurement of one side cubed. For the example, 5^3 is 125 cm^3. Multiply the volume by the known density, which is the mass per volume.

2N2H4+ N2O4———3N2+4H2O SalmaKhan99 avatar How many grams of N2 gas will be formed by reacting 100g of N2H4 and 200g of N2 Kindly

Alona [7]

Answer:

131.26 g

Explanation:

From the balanced equation,

2 moles of N₂H₄reacts with 1 mole of N₂O₄ to give 3 moles of N₂

Now number of moles of N₂H₄ present in 100 g N₂H₄ is n = 100 g/molar mass N₂H₄.

Molar mass N₂H₄ = 2 × 14.01 g/mol + 1 × 4 g/mol = 28.02 g/mol + 4 g/mol = 32.02 g/mol

n₁ = 100/32.02 = 3.123 mol

Also

Now number of moles of N₂O₄ present in 200 g N₂O₄ is n = 200 g/molar mass N₂O₄.

Molar mass N₂O₄ = 2 × 14.01 g/mol + 16 × 4 g/mol = 28.02 g/mol + 64 g/mol = 92.02 g/mol

n₂ = 200/92.02 = 2.173 mol

Since the mole ratio of N₂H₄ to N₂O₄ is 2 : 1, We require 2 × 2.173 mol N₂H₄ to react with 2.173 mole N₂O₄

Number of moles of N₂H₄ required is 4.346. But the number of moles of N₂H₄ present is 3.123 so N₂H₄ is the limiting reagent.

So, from the equation, 2 moles of N₂H₄ produces 3 moles of N₂

Therefore number of mole N₂ = 3/2 moles of N₂H₄ = 3/2 × 3.123 mol = 4.6845 mol

From n = m/M where n = number of moles of nitrogen gas = 4.6845 mol and M = molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28.02 g/mol and m = mass of nitogen gas.

m = nM = 4.6845 mol × 28.02 g/mol = 131.26 g

So the mas of nitrogen gas produced is 131.26 g
