Which describes an effect that ocean currents have on short-term climate change? Ocean currents increase the strength of prevail

ing winds, which can cool the air and land. Ocean currents can carry cold water, which can cool the air and land. Ocean currents increase hurricane activity, which can raise the temperature of the air and land. Ocean currents carry cold water, which may not affect hurricane activity and lower the temperature of the air and land.

The movement of the ocean and sea waves in a direction is called the ocean currents. Ocean currents can bring cold water, which cools the land and atmosphere.

<h3>What are the effects of ocean currents?</h3>

Ocean currents are the movement of the oceanic waves by the influence of the gravitational forces that can affect the atmosphere and the climate of the region.

Oceanic currents are capable of carrying cold water from polar areas to the regions of the equator resulting in a cooling atmosphere over the geosphere.

Therefore, option B. oceanic currents carry colder air to the warmer regions.

Does the temperature of the solvent (water) affect the rate of dissolving?​
gregori [183]
Yes. Heating up the solvent gives the molecules more kinetic energy. The more rapid motion means that the solvent molecules collide with the solute with greater frequency and the collisions occur with more force. Both factors increase the rate at which the solute dissolves.

A mixture containing nitrogen and hydrogen weighs 3.48 g and occupies a volume of 7.47 L at 296 K and 1.02 atm. Calculate the ma
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

there is 2% of hydrogen and 98% of nitrogen (mass percent)

Explanation:

assuming ideal gas behaviour

P*V=n*R*T

n= P*V/(R*T)

where P= pressure=1.02 atm , V=volume=7.47 L , T=absolute temperature= 296 K and R= ideal gas constant = 0.082 atm*L/(mole*K)

thus

n= P*V/(R*T) = 1.02 atm*7.47 L/( 296 K * 0.082 atm*L/(mole*K)) = 0.314 moles

since the number of moles is related with the mass m through the molecular weight M

n=m/M

thus denoting 1 as hydrogen and 2 as nitrogen

m₁+m₂ = mt (total mass)

m₁/M₁+m₂/M₂ = n

dividing one equation by the other and denoting mass fraction w₁= m₁/mt , w₂= m₂/mt , w₂= 1- w₁

w₁/M₁+w₂/M₂ = n/mt

w₁/M₁+(1-w₁) /M₂ = n/mt

w₁*(1/M₁- 1/M₂) + 1/M₂ = n/mt

w₁=  (n/mt- 1/M₂) /(1/M₁- 1/M₂)

replacing values

w₁=  (n/mt- 1/M₂) /(1/M₁- 1/M₂) = (0.314 moles/3.48 g - 1/(14 g/mole)) /(1/(1 g/mole)-1/(14 g/mole))= 0.02 (%)

and w₂= 1-w₁= 0.98 (98%)

thus there is 2% of hydrogen and 98% of nitrogen
