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.

What is the molarity of a 5.00x10^2 mL solution containing 21.1 g of potassium bromide (KBr)? The molar mass of KBr is 119.0 g/m

Dominik [7]

Volume of solution in liters:

5.00 x 10² mL / 1000 => 0.5 L

number of moles:

mass of solute / molar mass

21.1 / 119.0 => 0.1773 moles

Molarity = number of moles / volume

M = 0.1773 / 0.5

M = 0.355 mol/L

Answer C

What best describes the conditions to becoming a fossil

Ede4ka [16]

Hello

I don't quite understand the question your asking and if there is any answers provided but I will still give you mine.

Fossils are formed in a number of different ways, but most are formed when a plant or animal dies in a watery environment and is buried in mud and silt. Soft tissues quickly decompose leaving the hard bones or shells behind. Over time sediment builds over the top and hardens into rock.

Hope this helps!!
Have a nice day!!
