In addition to surface tension what's responsible for driving ocean waves

Chemistry
1 answer:
Delvig [45]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:The drag from wind holds the responsibility for driving ocean waves in addition to the surface tension.

Explanation:

The ocean currents at the first 100 m of its surface is moved by the wind drag.  Whereas, the ocean currents flowing below the thousand meters of its surface are driven by water's density gradient, which is governed by thermohaline circulation, 'thermo' means temperature and 'haline' means salinity. The centrifugal force has no role to do in driving the ocean current in its surface and earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect which is an example of hurricane winds.

hope this helps :D

Ch4+202==>c02+302 what type of chemical reaction
n200080 [17]

Answer:

First of all, the equation is typed wrong so it can easily be misinterpreted

Ethane (CH4) + Oxygen gas (O2) would give us Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and WATER (H2O)

CH4 + 2O2 -----> CO2 + 2H2O

And this is a combustion reaction since we have oxygen as a reactant and carbon dioxide and water as products.

How many moles at STP would take up 44.8 liters?
Tom [10]

Answer:

n =  2 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Pressure = standard = 1 atm

Temperature = standard = 273.15 K

Volume = 44.8 L

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

1 atm × 44.8 L = n × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  × 273.15 K

44.8 atm.L = n × 22.43 atm.L/ mol

n = 44.8 atm.L /   22.43 atm.L/ mol

n =  2 mol
