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.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Coconut oil, Olive oil and Sunflower oil

Explanation:

Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with a long unbranched chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

There are three main classes of fatty acids which are explained as under:

1. Saturated Fatty acids: These fatty acids have long carbon chain with two hydrogen atoms bonded to each carbon atom. This saturation of fatty acids make the fatty acids more stable towards high temperature. These fatty acids becomes solid at room temperature. Coconut oil and butter are the examples of saturated fatty acids.

2. Monounsaturated Fatty Acids: In a long carbon chain, if there is a carbon atom which is double bonded with another carbon atom and rest is saturated with hydrogen atoms, because of this single double-bond, the fatty acid is termed as monounsaturated fatty acids. These fatty acids are liquid at room temperature but solidify in refrigerator. Olive oil is an example of such fatty acids.

3. Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids: In a long carbon chain, if there are two or more than two carbon atoms which are double bonded with each other and rest is saturated with hydrogen atoms, because of multiple double bonds, such fatty acids are termed as polyunsaturated fatty acids. Because of higher unsaturation, these fatty acids are liquid in both normal room temperature and in refrigerator. Such unsaturation also make them unfit for cooking purposes. Sunflower oil, Soyabean oil and Flaxseed oil are examples of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

How many moles of tin atoms are in a pure tin cup with a mass of 37.6 g ?
Georgia [21]
Tin is an element called Stannum and has the symbol Sn. Molar mass is the mass of 1 mol of a compound, 1 mol of any substance is made of 6.022 x 10²³ units, these units could be atoms making up an element or molecules making up a compound. 
While the number of atoms making up 1 mol is the same for any element, the weight of 1 mol of substance varies from one another.
In tin(Sn) molar mass - 118.71 g/mol
In 118.71 g - there's 1 mol of tin
therefore in 37.6 g of tin - 1 x 37.6 / 118.71 = 0.31 mol 
In 37.6 g of tin, there's 0.31 mol

Did Chelate compounds increase the rate of reaction?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Chelate, any of a class of coordination or complex compounds consisting of a central metal atom attached to a large molecule, called a ligand, in a cyclic or ring structure. An example of a chelate ring occurs in the ethylenediamine-cadmium complex:

The ethylenediamine ligand has two points of attachment to the cadmium ion, thus forming a ring; it is known as a didentate ligand. (Three ethylenediamine ligands can attach to the Cd2+ ion, each one forming a ring as depicted above.) Ligands that can attach to the same metal ion at two or more points are known as polydentate ligands. All polydentate ligands are chelating agents.

Chelates are more stable than nonchelated compounds of comparable composition, and the more extensive the chelation—that is, the larger the number of ring closures to a metal atom—the more stable the compound. This phenomenon is called the chelate effect; it is generally attributed to an increase in the thermodynamic quantity called entropy that accompanies chelation. The stability of a chelate is also related to the number of atoms in the chelate ring. In general, chelates containing five- or six-membered rings are more stable than chelates with four-, seven-, or eight-membered rings.
