Answer/Explanation:

Heat from the sun hits the ground and is absorbed. The higher you go, it gets more colder due to the fact that the air doesn't hold onto the radiation as it goes straight through the ground, which is why the top of mountains are very cold, and people are able to die in minutes.

As you go higher, there are less air molecules and matter therefore meaning there is a lower pressure pushing down on you. Plus, when it is lower that means the particles will do some work meaning it will lose energy and when energy decreases so does the temperature and we define temperature as the average energy of the particles, in simpler words: When the pressure gets lower, the temperature also will get lower, which is why the higher you are the air temperature will get lower, and the lower you are the air temperature will get higher.

The term for free electrons in metals transferring energy by colliding with other atoms or electrons is _____.
shepuryov [24]
Conduction

In metals, the electrons of each atom are delocalized, which means they are free to move about in the structure of the metal. When heat is applied at one end of the metal, the electrons there are excited and collide with surrounding particles, transferring their energy to them. This is what makes metals very good conductors of both heat and electricity.

Which of the following samples will have the lowest pressure if they are all at the same temperature and in identical containers
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

c. 15 g Kr

Explanation:

The amount of a gas (Moles) is directely proportional to its pressure. That means the higher amount of moles, the highest pressure and vice versa.

Using molar mass of the compounds (Ne=20.2g/mol, Ar = 39.9g/mol, Kr = 83.8g/mol, CO₂ = 44 g/mol and F₂ = 38.0g/mol), moles of 15.0g of each gas are:

Ne = 15g ₓ (1mol / 20.2g) = <em>0.74 moles of Ne</em>

Ar = 15g ₓ (1mol / 39.9g) = <em>0.38 moles of Ar</em>

Kr = 15g ₓ (1mol / 83.8g) = <em>0.18 moles of Kr</em>

CO₂ = 15g ₓ (1mol / 44g) = <em>0.34 moles of CO₂</em>

F₂ = 15g ₓ (1mol / 38g) = <em>0.39 moles of F₂</em>

<h3>As 15g of Kr contains the less quantity of moles, this sample will con have the lowest pressure</h3>

44. Convert the following. Express your answers in
professor190 [17]

Answer:

A =  0.75 ×10² KJ.

B = 3.9 ×10³ dg

C = 0.22 × 10² μl.

Explanation:

A =  7.5 ×10⁴ j to kilo joules

7.5 ×10⁴ / 1000 = 0.75 ×10² KJ.

Joule is the smaller unit while kilo joule is the larger unit. One kilo joule equals to the thousand joule that's why we will divide the given value by 1000 in order to convert into KJ.

B = 3.9 ×10⁵ mg to decigrams.

3.9 ×10⁵ / 100 = 3.9 ×10³ dg

Decigram is larger unit while milligram is smaller unit. One decigram is equal to the 100 milligram. In order to convert the given value into  decigram we have to divide the value by 100.

C = 2.21 ×10⁻⁴ dL to micorliters

2.21 ×10⁻⁴ ×10⁵ = 0.22 × 10² μl.

Deciliter is bigger unit then micro liter . One deciliter equals to the 100000 micro liters. In order to convert the dL into micro liter we have to multiply the given value with 100000.

adam wants to investigate the strengths of different acids and alkalis. He has 2 different acid solutions and 2 different alkali
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The strength of an acid or alkali depends on the degree of dissociation of the acid or alkali in water. The degree of dissociation measures the percentage of acid molecules that ionise when dissolved in water. He could use universal indicators or litmus paper for this.
