Answer:

1) Oil is less dense than water so when oil spills, it spreads across the entire water surface.

2) The oil spreads very quickly with lighter oils such as gasoline.

3) Wind, Currents, and Warm Temperatures will cause Oil to spread quicker.

HOW DOES ENERGY FROM THE SUN ULTIMATELY CAUSE THE BLADES ON THESE WIND TURBINES TO MOVE?

Anarel [89]

Energy in wind comes from the sun. for example, when the Earth’s surface absorbs the suns energy, it turns to heat. wind is produced by uneven heating from the earths surface by the sun. Since the earth's surface is made of various land and water formations, it absorbs the sun's radiation unevenly. The blades on the wind turbine move from the wind. i hope that made sense, if it didn’t i’m sorry, i hoped that hep though!

What is the maximum mass, in kilograms, of (NH4)2U2O7 that can be formed from the reaction of 100 kg of water and 100 kg of ammo

V125BC [204]

Mass of (NH₄)₂U₂O₇ : 410.05 kg

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

2UO₂SO₄ + 6NH₃ + 3H₂O → (NH₄)₂U₂O₇ + 2(NH₄)₂SO₄

MW UO₂SO₄ : 366.091

MW (NH₄)₂U₂O₇ : 624.131

MW H₂O : 18.0153

MW NH₃ : 17.0306

mol of 100 kg water :

$\tt \dfrac{100}{18.0153}=5.55$

mol of 100 kg ammonia :

$\tt \dfrac{100}{17.036}=5.87$

mol of UO₂SO₄ :

$\tt \dfrac{481}{366.091}=1.314$

Limiting reactants : smallest mol ratio(mol : coefficient)

$\tt \dfrac{5.55}{3}\div \dfrac{5.87}{6}\div \dfrac{1.314}{2}=1.85\div 0.98\div 0.657$

UO₂SO₄ ⇒ Limiting reactants

mol (NH₄)₂U₂O₇ : mol UO₂SO₄

$\tt \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.314=0.657$

mass (NH₄)₂U₂O₇

$\tt 0.657\times 624.131=410.05$

Pls answer

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The sound wave travelled more quickly through the glass of water than the metal pole.

The sound wave travelled the fastest through the helium.

The sound wave travelled the slowest through the metal pole.

These 3 are most likely true.

If you have to pick just one, the sound wave travelled the fastest through the helium.

How does mass defect relate to nuclear binding energy

disa [49]

Answer:

Nuclear binding energy is the energy required to split am atoms nucleus into protons and neutrons.Mass effect is the difference between the predicted mass and the actual mass of an atoms nucleus. the binding energy of a system can appear as extra mass, which accounts for the difference.
