100 PTS+BRAINILIEST: Why does it get colder as you go higher through the atmosphere, if you are getting closer to the sun??

sattari [20]2 years ago

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.

Given the molar absorptivity for a species X of 1600 M-1cm-1 at a wavelength of 270 nm, and 400 M-1cm-1 at a wavelength of 540 n
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

At wavelength = 270 nm

\varepsilon x_1 = 1600 \ m^{-1} \ cm^{-1}  \\ \\  \varepsilon y_1 = 200 \ m^{-1} \ cm^{-1}

At 270 nm

Suppose x is said to be the solution for the concentration of x and y to be the solution for the concentration of y;

Then:

\varepsilon x_1  \ l + \varepsilon y_1  \ l= 0.5 \\ \\ A = A_1 + A_2

1600 xl + 200 yl= 0.5

Divide both sides by 200

8xl + yl = \dfrac{0.5}{200}

8x + y = \dfrac{0.5}{200}l

Use l = 1cm (i.e the standard length)

Then;

8x + y = \dfrac{0.5}{200} ---- (1)

<u>For 540 nm:</u>

\varepsilon x_2 x  \ l + \varepsilon y_2 y  \ l= 0.5  \\ \\ 40 xl + 800 yl = 0.5

x + 20 y = \dfrac{0.5}{400 \ l}

since l = 1

x + 20 y = \dfrac{0.5}{400 \ } --- (2)

Equating both (1) and (2) together, we have:

8x + y - 8x - 160 y = \dfrac{0.5}{200} - \dfrac{0.5 \times 8}{400}  \\ \\  \implies - 159 y = \dfrac{0.5}{200} ( 1 - \dfrac{8}{2}) \\ \\  -159 y = \dfrac{-0.5 \times 3}{200}  \\ \\  159 \ y = 0.0075  \\ \\  y = \dfrac{0.0075}{159} \\ \\  y = 0.00004716 \\ \\ y = 4.7 \times 10^{-5 } \ M

Ammonia is produced from the reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen according to the following balanced equation:
nignag [31]

Answer:  1) Maximum mass of ammonia  198.57g  

2) The element that would be completely consumed is the N2

3) Mass that would keep unremained, is the one of  the excess Reactant, that means the H2 with 3,44g

Explanation:

  • In order to calculate the Mass of ammonia , we first check the Equation is actually Balance:

N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⟶2NH3(g)

Both equal amount of atoms side to side.

  • Now we verify which reagent is the limiting one by comparing the amount of product formed with each reactant, and the one with the lowest number is the limiting reactant. ( Keep in mind that we use the  molecular weight of 28.01 g/mol N2; 2.02 g/mol H2; 17.03g/mol NH3)

Moles of ammonia produced with 163.3g N2(g) ⟶ 163.3g N2(g) x (1mol N2(g)/ 28.01 g N2(g) )x (2 mol NH3(g) /1 mol N2(g)) = 11.66 mol NH3

Moles of ammonia produced with 38.77 g H2⟶  38.77 g H2 x ( 1mol H2/ 2.02 g H2 ) x (2 mol NH3 /3 mol H2 ) = 12.79 mol NH3

  • As we can see the amount of NH3 formed with the N2 is the lowest one , therefore the limiting reactant is the N2 that means, N2 is the element  that would be completey consumed, and the maximum mass of ammonia will be produced from it.
  • We proceed calculating the maximum mass of NH3 from the 163.3g of N2.

11.66  mol NH3 x (17.03 g NH3 /1mol NH3) = 198.57 g NH3

  • In order to estimate the mass of excess reagent, we start by calculating how much H2 reacts with the giving N2:

163.3g N2 x (1mol N2/28.01 g N2) x ( 3 mol H2 / 1 mol N2)x (2.02 g H2/ 1 mol H2) = 35.33 g H2

That means that only 35.33 g H2 will react with 163.3g N2 however we were giving 38.77g of  H2, thus, 38.77g - 35.33 g = 3.44g H2 is left

Mass of Oxygen : 8.0 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

1.51 x 10²³ molecules of Oxygen(O₂)

Required

Mass of Oxygen

Solution

1 mol = 6.02 x 10²³ particles(molecules, atoms, ions)

Can be formulated :

N = n x No

n = moles

No = Avogadro's number

Find moles of Oxygen :

n = N/No

n = 1.51 x 10²³ / 6.02 x 10²³

n = 0.251

Mass of Oxygen :

mass = mol x MW O₂

mass = 0.251 x 32 g/mol

mass = 8.032≈ 8.0 g
