How does the ocean currents affect weather?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anettt [7]3 years ago
5 0

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.

2.822 mol of nickel has _________ atoms of nickel.<br><br> (Enter just the number for this one.)
Irina-Kira [14]

Hello!

To find the number of atoms in 2.822 moles of nickel, we need to multiply it by Avogadro's number. Avogadro's number is 6.02 x 10^23 atoms.

2.822 moles x (6.02 x 10^23) ≈ 1.698844 x 10^24

Therefore, there are about 1.70 x 10^24 atoms (according to the number of significant figures) in 2.822 moles of nickel.

if the density of a bar of gold is 19.3g/cm^3and you cut it into four pieces , what is its density of each piece of gold
AlladinOne [14]
Density is an intrinsic property, so it is independent of the amount of substance present: one gold coin would have the same density as a solid gold boulder.

So if the density of gold is 19.3 g/cm³, the density of a bar of gold and the pieces into which the bar is cut would all be 19.3 g/cm³.
