Latitude and Temperature

At the equator, the Sun's rays are most direct. This is where temperatures are highest. At higher latitudes, the Sun's rays are less direct. The farther an area is from the equator, the lower its temperature.

Why are scientists worried that climate change will cause these toxic algae blooms to become more frequent?

ipn [44]

Answer: Eutrophication is the enhancement of the growth of algae in the water body.

Explanation:

The scientists are worried for the climate change as if the climate changed to prolonged rainy then the frequent raining can remove toxic chemicals from the agricultural sites, landfills, industries, and from other locations and deposit them to the water body (river, lakes, ponds, and others). The deposition of the salts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur promotes the growth of algae in the water body. This leads to reduction in the concentration of oxygen in the water body. This is called eutrophication. The lack of oxygen can lead to mortality of aquatic animals.

Given what you observe at the molecular/atomic level, why would surface area have this effect?

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Increasing the surface area of a reactant increases the frequency of collisions and increases the reaction rate. Several smaller particles have more surface area than one large particle. The more surface area that is available for particles to collide, the faster the reaction will occur.

A sample of seawater weighs 250 g and has a volume of 173 ml. What is the density of seawater?

kari74 [83]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 1.45 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question

mass of seawater = 250 g

volume = 173 mL

It's density is

$density = \frac{250}{173} \\ = 1.4450867052...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Solid NaBr is slowly added to a solution that is 0.073 M in Cu+ and 0.073 M in Ag+.Which compound will begin to precipitate firs

saul85 [17]

Answer :

AgBr should precipitate first.

The concentration of $Ag^+$ when CuBr just begins to precipitate is, $1.34\times 10^{-6}M$

Percent of $Ag^+$ remains is, 0.0018 %

Explanation :

$K_{sp}$ for CuBr is $4.2\times 10^{-8}$

$K_{sp}$ for AgBr is $7.7\times 10^{-13}$

As we know that these two salts would both dissociate in the same way. So, we can say that as the Ksp value of AgBr has a smaller than CuBr then AgBr should precipitate first.

Now we have to calculate the concentration of bromide ion.

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

$CuBr\rightleftharpoons Cu^++Br^-$

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

$K_{sp}=[Cu^+][Br^-]$

$4.2\times 10^{-8}=0.073\times [Br^-]$

$[Br^-]=5.75\times 10^{-7}M$

Now we have to calculate the concentration of silver ion.

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

$AgBr\rightleftharpoons Ag^++Br^-$

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

$K_{sp}=[Ag^+][Br^-]$

$7.7\times 10^{-13}=[Ag^+]\times 5.75\times 10^{-7}M$

$[Ag^+]=1.34\times 10^{-6}M$

Now we have to calculate the percent of $Ag^+$ remains in solution at this point.

Percent of $Ag^+$ remains = $\frac{1.34\times 10^{-6}}{0.073}\times 100$

Percent of $Ag^+$ remains = 0.0018 %

Fossil fuels are considered to be __________ resources because they are consumed ___________ than they form.

mixas84 [53]

Fossil fuels are formed by the deposition of organic matter. It is a nonrenewable resource as they deplete faster as they are produced. Thus, option B is correct.

<h3>What is non-renewable resources?</h3><h3 />

A non-renewable resource is exhaustible and takes a longer time to get produced as they include the accumulation of organic matter over thousands of years.

Fossil fuels take a very long time to get replenished and have a slower rate of formation as compared to consumption. It includes petrol, coal, diesel, natural gases, etc.

Therefore, option B. nonrenewable and far faster are the correct blanks.
