Geography

The Skálafjørður is the largest fjord in the Faroe Islands. It measures 14.5 kilometres (9.0 mi) (equidistant line) from in between Raktangi (near Strendur) and Toftir to the village of Skálafjørður.[1] The deepest points are two different spots at circa −70 metres (−230 ft) depth near the villages of Runavík and Søldarfjørður respectively. The entrance of the fjord forms a shallow glacial threshold, at −25 metres (−82 ft) in between Strendur and Saltnes. This threshold limits water circulation in and out of the fjord, compounding oxygen inflow and biological activity.[2] There are national highways on either side of the fjord. The Eysturoyartunnilin, of which the roundabout is situated directly under the threshold (at −72.6 metres (−238 ft)[3]), offers a road connection between Runavík and Strendur, as well as to Tórshavn from 2021.

Villages

On the eastern bank are the villages, from north to south: Undir Gøtueiði, Skipanes, Søldarfjørður, Lambareiði, Glyvrar, Saltangará, Runavík, Saltnes and Toftir. The last five villages and Nes form one continuous built-up area. On the western bank are Skálafjørður (village), Skáli, Innan Glyvur and Strendur. The fjord is bordered by three municipalities: Runavíkar (to which also Skáli belongs), Eysturkommuna and Sjóvar kommuna.

The village of Skálafjørður was also known as Skálabotnur until 2019.[4] Its beach is the sole officially recognised grind bay.[5]

gollark: The equation is 4FeS2 + 11O2 --> 2Fe2O3 + 8SO2. You want to know how many moles O2 are needed per mole FeS2, so that's 11/4 = 2.75. Then, since the question asks for how many moles O2 are needed with *3* moles FeS2, multiply by 3, and you get 8.25.
gollark: The answer is just (3/4)*11 then, which is 8.25.
gollark: Oh, FeS2, not Fe2O3.
gollark: <@288035900980461579> Could you photograph the question or something? It does definitely look like you need 16.5 moles O2 for 3 moles Fe2O3, so the question is probably asking something else?
gollark: 2Fe2O3 is 2 moles Fe2O3, 11O2 is 11 moles O2.
