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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Delvig [45]3 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

Determine how many ml of water you need to remove, by evaporation, if you have a 500 ml of 10.20 M HNO3 dilute solution and you
Ludmilka [50]

The total volume of water that would be removed will be 75 mL

<h3>Dilution equation</h3>

Using the dilution equation:

M1V1 = M2V2

In this case, M1 = 500 mL, V1 = 10.20 M, M2 = 12 M

Substitute:

V2 = 500 x 10.20/12

         = 425 mL

The final volume in order to arrive at 12 M HNO3 would be 425 mL from the initial 500 mL. Thus, the total amount of water that will be removed by evaporation can be calculated as:

500 - 425 = 75 mL

Which statement is correct? A. pKa is not an indicator of acid strength. B. An acid with a small Ka is stronger than an acid wit
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Since [pKa = - log Ka]....hence..,the larger the Ka value,the stronger the acid is..so this means that the pKa is vice versa

Saying that the smaller the pKa value..the stronger the acid is.

Calculate the solubility of o2 in water at a partial pressure of o2 of 120 torr at 25 ̊c. the henry's law constant for o2 at 25
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

1) 2.054 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L.

2) Decreasing the temperature will increase the solubilty of O₂ gas in water.

Explanation:

1) The solubility of O₂ gas in water:

  • We cam calculate the solubility of O₂ in water using Henry's law: <em>Cgas = K P</em>,
  • where, Cgas is the solubility if gas,
  • K is henry's law constant (K for O₂ at 25 ̊C is 1.3 x 10⁻³ mol/l atm),
  • P is the partial pressure of O₂ (P = 120 torr / 760 = 0.158 atm).
  • Cgas = K P = (1.3 x 10⁻³ mol/l atm) (0.158 atm) = 2.054 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L.

2) The effect of decreasing temperature on the solubility O₂ gas in water:

  • Decreasing the temperature will increase the solubilty of O₂ gas in water.
  • When the temperature increases, the solubility of O₂ gas in water will decrease because the increase in T will increase the kinetic energy of gas particles and increase its motion that will break intermolecular bonds and escape from solution.
  • Decreasing the temperature will increase the solubility of O₂ gas in water will because the kinetic energy of gas particles will decrease and limit its motion that can not break the intermolecular bonds and increase the solubility of O₂ gas.
