Calculate the enthalpy of the following reaction: 4 b (s) + 3 o2 (g) → 2 b2o3 (s) given the following pertinent information: (a) b2o3 (s) + 3 h2o (g) → 3 o2 (g) + b2h6 (g), δhoa = +2035 kj (b) 2 b (s) + 3 h2 (g) → b2h6 (g), δhob = +36 kj (c) h2 (g) + latex: \frac{1}{2} 1 2 o2 (g) → h2o (l), δhoc = −285 kj (d) h2o (l) → h2o (g), δhod = +44 kj

The diagram shows the positions of the sun, moon and earth during spring tides, when the high tides are at their highest and low tides at their lowest. what is it about these positions that causes these high and low tides?
