Explain why ships traveling from east to west across the Atlantic take days longer than ships traveling the same distance from west to east.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Because when traveling from east to west you are traveling with the earth's rotation. However when you are traveling from west to east you traveling against the earth's rotation causing you to get to your location faster.

A beaker contains 100 mL of NaOH solution at pH = 13. A technician carefully pours into the beaker 10 mL of HCl at pH = 1. Which of the following statements correctly describes the results of this mixing?a. The concentration of Na⁺ ion rises.
b. The concentration of Cl⁻ ion will be 0.1M.
c. The concentration of undissociated H₂O molecules remains unchanged.
d. The pH of the beaker's contents will be neutral.
e. The pH of the beaker's contents falls.

Answers

Answer: Option (e) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Since, the beaker contains NaOH solution whose pH is 13. As pH of NaOH is greater than 7 so, it means that this solution is basic in nature.

Whereas pH of HCl solution is equal to 1. As its pH is less that 7 so, it is acidic in nature.

Hence, when we add 10 ml of HCl into 100 mL of NaOH then there will be a slight decrease in pH of the solution because an acid is being added into the NaOH solution.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement pH of the beaker's contents falls, correctly describes the results of this mixing.

Chemistry: counting atoms in compounds worksheet #7.0.1
Answer please!!!!!

Answers

Counting atoms in a compound can be done by taking one element at a time and multiplying the subscript of the element and the number of molecules of the compounds. For example, H2O, there are two atoms of H adn 1 atom of oxygen.

How many moles of Cr are in 156 g of the element?a. 1.0 mol
b. 3.0 mol
c. 6.5 mol
d. 156 mol

Answers

Mole measure the number of elementary entities of a given substance that are present in a given sample. 3 mole of Cr are in 156 g of the element. The correct option is option B.

What is mole?

The SI unit of amount of substance in chemistry is mole. The mole is used to measure the quantity or amount of substance. We know one mole of any element contains 6.022×10²³ atoms which is also called Avogadro number.

Mathematically, mole and molar mass of chromium can be related as :

number of mole =given mass of chromium÷ molar mass of chromium

Mass of chromium=156 g

Molar mass of 1 mole of chromium= 51.9961 g/mol

Substituting the given values we get,

number of mole =156 g ÷  51.9961 g/mol

number of mole= 3

Therefore, the correct option is option B. 3 mole of Cr are in 156 g of the element.

You are given the number of grams of Chromium which is 156 grams. The molar mass of chromium is 52 grams per mole. Divide 156 grams to 52 grams per mole of Chromium and you will get 3 moles of Chromium. The answer is letter B.

What is the primary concern when implementing a solution?being creative
being specific being flexible
being authoritative

Answers

When implementing a solution to a problem, I think the primary concern should be being authoritative. By doing this, people will not slack and will not take advantage of the rules. People will also trust, respect and obey you.

Answer:

The correct answer is being authoritative.

Explanation:

Authoritative refers to permission to act without asking permission while being held responsible. While implementation refers to the conclusion of all the work in solving an issue and needs careful consideration to detail. There are three fundamental steps involved, that is, preparing and planning to implement the solution, implementing and observing the activity, and evaluating and studying the success of the action. Thus, in my opinion being authoritative would be a primary concern when implementing a solution.
