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

What is the resultant pressure if 1.7 mol of ideal gas at 273 K and 2.79 atm in a closed container of constant volume is heated

dedylja [7]

Answer: The resultant pressure is 3.22 atm

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's Law: This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

$P\propto T$ (At constant volume and number of moles)

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 2.79 atm

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = 273K

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = 315 K

$\frac{2.79}{273}=\frac{P_2}{315}$

$P_2=3.22atm$

Thus the resultant pressure is 3.22 atm

A neutral solution has a(n) _______ amount of hydroxide ions compared to hydrogen ions.

erastovalidia [21]

The answer is 'equal'. Hydroxide ions are OH- and Hydrogen ions are H+. Have you noticed they're opposite charges? Positive + negative = neutral. That's all there is to it :)

When the following molecular equation is balanced using the smallest possible integer coefficients, the values of these coeffici

tatuchka [14]

The values of the coefficients would be 4, 5, 4, and 6 respectively.

<h3>Balancing chemical equations</h3>

The equation of the reaction can be represented by the following chemical equation:

ammonia (g) + oxygen (g) ---> nitrogen monoxide (g) + water (g)

$4NH_3(g)$ + $5O_2(g)$ ---> $4NO(g)$ + $6H_2O(g)$

Thus, the coefficient of ammonia will be 4, that of oxygen will be 5, that of nitrogen monoxide will be 4, and that of water will be 6.
