Answer:
The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the earth around its own axis.
Explanation:
The Coriolis effect arises from the fact that different latitudes of the earth's surface rotate at different speeds. The path of wind on earth is deflected by the Coriolis effect. As things move over the earth, they meet different speed areas, which causes the Coriolis Effect to divert their route.
Thus, The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the earth around its own axis.
Mass of KNO₃ : = 40.643 g
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
28.5 g of K₃PO₄
Required
Mass of KNO₃
Solution
Reaction(Balanced equation) :
2K₃PO₄ + 3 Ca(NO₃)₂ = Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 6 KNO₃
mol K₃PO₄(MW=212,27 g/mol) :
= mass : MW
= 28.5 : 212,27 g/mol
= 0.134
Mol ratio of K₃PO₄ : KNO₃ = 2 : 6, so mol KNO₃ :
= 6/2 x mol K₃PO₄
= 6/2 x 0.134
= 0.402
Mass of KNO₃ :
= mol x MW KNO₃
= 0.402 x 101,1032 g/mol
= 40.643 g
