Sophia was fascinated while studying the role of oceans in the hydrosphere. She decided to illustrate the features of the ocean floor on a poster for her part in a group project. Identify and describe the kinds of features found on the ocean floor.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The Major features of the ocean floor are:

Continental ShelfContinental SlopeContinental RiseAbyssal PlainOceanic TrenchMid-Ocean Ridge

Explanation:

1. Continental Shelf: This refers to the part of the land on every continent that is covered with water that is not too deep. The types of animals that can be found on the continental shelf are:

Crab, Tuna, Lobster, Dungeness cod, etc. Within the Continental shelf, there are permanent rocks that house other organisms such as sponges, anemones, clams, sponges, oysters. The continental shelf also contains the route of migration for bigger animals such as sea turtles dolphins and even whales.

2. Continental Slope: This spans from the shelf break to the continental rise.  It can slope up to 4 degrees. Slopes can be created by faulting, slumping of huge boulders of sediments, rifting, etc.

Some of the aquatic animals that can be found in this region include but are not limited to:

Sablefish, Dover sole rockfish, etc.

3. Continental rise

This part of the ocean floor usually has a very steep gradient or angle slope. It slopes very steeply into the abyssal plain of the ocean.

The following can help form continental rise:

Mass wasting;deposition from contour currents and the longitudinal settling of biogenic and clastic particles

4. Abyssal Plain.

This is the real bottom of the ocean. There is a very high probability that one would find animals such as nematodes, polychaetes, etc which are all types of worms down there. The Abyssal plain is also home to molluscs,  and echinoderms.

5. Oceanic Trench

Sometimes there is a long and narrow indenture or depression along the seafloor. These are called Trenches. Trenches are sometimes formed by the boundaries between one lithospheric plate and another. The deepest trench on earth is found in the Pacific Ocean. It has been nick-named the Challenger Deep and said to be the deepest point known on earth reaching almost 11 kilometers.

6. Mid-Ocean Ridge

This is a mountain range underneath the ocean. It is formed when there is an upward push by convection currents of the mantle beneath the oceanic crust. When this happens and molten magma is ejected or created at the boundary between the plates, the result is a Mid-Oceanic Ridge.

Answers

Answer:

10 moles de NO2

Explanation:

Tenemos la ecuación de la reacción como sigue;

 N2 (g) + 2 O2 (g) → 2 NO2 (g)

Asi que;

Si 1 mol de nitrógeno produce 2 moles de NO2

5 moles de nitrógeno producirán 5 * 2/1 = 10

Por tanto, se producen 10 moles de NO2 moles

Answers

Answer:

C. A one (1) is assumed when there is no coefficient

Explanation:

The following chemical equation is given in the attachment:

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

In this reaction, Hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) gases are the reactants and they combine to form H2O, which is the product. It is necessary that, in accordance to the law of conservation of matter, the same number of atoms of each elements on the reactant side equates that on the product side. When this happens, the equation is said to be BALANCED.

However, to balance an equation, COEFFICIENTS are used. In this equation above, coefficients 2 is used in front of both H2 and H2O but no coefficient is used in front of O2. This is because 1 mole of oxygen is on the reactant and product side respectively. However, one is assumed when no coefficient is written i.e. O2 means 1 mole of oxygen molecule.

A sample of gas in a closed container at a temperature of 100oC and 3 atm is heated to 300oC. What is the pressure of the gas at the higher temperature?

Answers

Answer:

6.14 atm

Explanation:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 100 °C

Initial pressure (P₁) = 4 atm

Final temperature (T₂) = 300 °C

Final pressure (P₂) =?

NOTE: Volume = constant (since the system is a closed system)

Next, we shall convert celsius temperature to Kelvin temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

Initial temperature (T₁) = 100 °C

Initial temperature (T₁) = 100 °C + 273 = 373 K

Final temperature (T₂) = 300 °C

Final temperature (T₂) = 300 °C + 273 = 573 K

Finally, we shall determine the pressure at the highest temperature as follow:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 373 K

Initial pressure (P₁) = 4 atm

Final temperature (T₂) = 573 K

Final pressure (P₂) =?

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂

4 / 373 = P₂ / 573

Cross multiply

373 × P₂ = 4 × 573

373 × P₂ = 2292

Divide both side by 373

P₂ = 2292 / 373

P₂ = 6.14 atm

Thus, the pressure at the highest temperature is 6.14 atm

A gas at a pressure of 360 torrs and a volume of 750 ml. If the pressure becomes 1.5 atm what is the new volume?

Answers

Answer:

V₂ = 236.84 mL

Explanation:

The relation between pressure and volume is inverse.

We can write it as follows :

[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]

We have,

P₁ = 360 torrs, V₁ = 750 mL, P₂ = 1.5 atm = 1140 torr.

So,

[tex]V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{360\times 750}{1140}\\\\V_2=236.84\ mL[/tex]

So, the new volume of the gas is 236.84 mL.

Which best represents a physical change?
A. formation of a new substance
B. formation of a precipitate
C. condensation
D. bubbling

Answers

Answer:

The answer I would go with is A formation of a new substance.

Explanation:

This is because physical change includes changes of state. Some could be changing from a liquid to gas or solid to gas. B is not even an answer that should be considered because it doesn't fit into the category. C and D represents some of the examples of the process of physical change. Like boiling, bubbling, melting, or freezing. So the best would be A.

Naming Ionic compounds with transition metals requires the use of a roman numeral. The charge of the metal ion must be written in the name of the compound with a roman numeral. This is because transition metals can have more than one valence (or charge).
