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.

Consider the generic reaction: 2 A(g) + B(g) → 2 C(g). If a flask initially contains 1.0 atm of A and 1.0 atm of B, what is the

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

b. 1.5 atm.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the undergoing chemical reaction suggests that two moles of A react with one moles of B to produce two moles of C, for the final pressure we can write:

$P=P_A+P_B+P_C$

Now, if we introduce the stoichiometry, and the change in the pressure $x$ we can write:

$P=1.0-2x+1.0-x+2x$

Nevertheless, since the reaction goes to completion, all A is consumed and there is a leftover of B, and that consumed A is:

$x=\frac{1.0atm}{2}=0.5atm$

Thus, the final pressure is:

$P=1.0-2(0.5)+1.0-(0.5)+2(0.5)\\\\P=1.5atm$

Therefore the answer is b. 1.5 atm.

Best regards!

1.For the reaction P4 O10(s) + 6H2O(l) → 4H3PO4(aq), what mass of P

Alex17521 [72]

P₄O₁₀ + 6H₂O → 4H₃PO₄
The equation shows us that the molar ratio of
P₄O₁₀ : 6H₂O = 1:6

We also know that one mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ particles. We can use this to calculate the moles of water.
moles(H₂O) = (5.51 x 10²³) / (6.02 x 10²³)
= 0.92 mole
That means moles of P₄O₁₀ = 0.92 / 6
= 0.15

Each mole of P₄O₁₀ contains 4 moles of P.
moles(P) = 4 x 0.15 = 0.6 mol
Mr of P = 207 grams per mol
Mass of P = 207 x 0.6
= 124.2 grams
