Answer:

a solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes in front of the sun,blocking it out partially or completely. the eclipse results in parts of the earth being covered in the shadow of the moon. a lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly behind earth and into its shadow.

Which of the following is considered a calm area close to the equator resulting in little to no wind?

solong [7]

<h2>Right answer: Doldrums</h2>

These are also called zones of equatorial calm and it is due a climatic phenomenon that is placed near the Earth equator, attributed to the soft winds, that are called calm winds as well; accompanied by systems of abundant rains and heat.

In this area periods of great calm occur when the winds virtually disappear completely, trapping the sailing ships for long periods (days or weeks). This is why the term doldrum became popular as a colloquial expression in the eighteenth century, to refer to "the caprice of the wind that slows down the navigation to sail".

The zone is located in the place where two trade winds meet, this means the trade winds of the northern hemisphere converge with those of the southern hemisphere, that is why this region is related to the intertropical convergence zone.

Please answer these: Q1. i. In what two ways combustion can be useful to us? Explain by giving examples. ii. Explain why decompo

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

1) combustion can be used as a source of energy.

Combustion is used to power rockets

ii) Decomposition of sugar is a chemical change and new substances are formed.

2)corrosion of pipes

Corrosion of bridges

Corrosion of knives and blades at home

I) iron rusts due to the action of air and moisture bon the metal setting up an electrochemical process in which the iron is the anode. This leads to the corrosion of the iron metal.

ii) Rusting is a problem because it reduces the economic value of iron. Rust weakens iron and threatens the integrity of materials made from iron.

Iron rusting may lead to the collapse of a bridge

Iron rusting makes a blade blunt

Iron rusting weakens pipes made of iron

iii) Rusting of iron can be prevented by galvanizing the iron or by painting the iron.

3) chemical change leads to the formation of a new substance while physical change does not lead to the formation of a new substance.

Chemical changes are not easily reversible while physical changes are easily reversible.

ii)condensation of water vapour is a physical change

iii)

Electrolysis of water;

Two moles of water---> two moles of hydrogen gas + one mole of oxygen gas

Synthesis of water;

two moles of hydrogen gas + one mole of oxygen gas---->Two moles of water

Decomposition of sugar;

One mole of Sucrose---> twelve moles of carbon + eleven moles of water + heat

Six moles of carbon dioxide + six moles of water +energy------> one mole of sugar + six moles of oxygen

Explanation:

Combustion is useful as a source of energy because it is used in power generation. Currently, combustion is being used to power rockets. It is also used as a way of providing heat at home.

One of the characteristics of a chemical change is that it leads to the formation of new substances. Since the decomposition of sugar leads to the formation of carbon and water, it is an irreversible chemical change.

When water is heated, it is converted into vapour which can settle on a surface and convert back to liquid water. This is a physical change.
