Why do the lighter isotopes disappear first from the atmosphere? Where do those isotopes go?

Physics

denpristay [2]1 year ago

Lighter molecules move fast and escape from the upper atmosphere relatively quickly.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the lighter isotopes.

<h3>What are lighter isotopes?</h3>
  • Lighter molecules are mobile and soon leave the higher atmosphere.
  • A particular element's stable isotopes have slightly different atomic masses and quantum mechanical energies.
  • The lighter isotope of an element's chemical bonds are more easily broken than the heavier isotope's.
  • As a result, the light isotope typically benefits from chemical reactions.

Thus, we can conclude that, lighter molecules move fast and escape from the upper atmosphere relatively quickly.

Answer:

D. 1×10⁻⁸ M

Explanation:

[H⁺] [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴

(1×10⁻⁶) [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the pendulum falls freely the net acceleration due to gravity is zero.

As we know that the time period of simple pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of acceleration due to gravity, thus the time period becomes infinity.
