The layer of the atmosphere that extends upward about 80 km is composed of a combination of gases we call  <u>mesosphere</u>, and it is made primarily of nitrogen (78.08%) and oxygen (20.95%).

<h3>Layers of Earth's Atmosphere</h3>

Earth's atmosphere has a series of layers, each with its own specific traits. Moving upward from ground level, these layers are called the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. The exosphere gradually fades away into the realm of interplanetary space.

  • The troposphere is the lowest layer of our atmosphere. Starting at ground level, it extends upward to about 10 km (6.2 miles or about 33,000 feet) above sea level.
  • The next layer up is called the stratosphere. The stratosphere extends from the top of the troposphere to about 50 km (31 miles) above the ground.
  • Above the stratosphere is the mesosphere. It extends upward to a height of about 85 km (53 miles) above our planet.
  • The layer of very rare air above the mesosphere is called the thermosphere. High-energy X-rays and UV radiation from the Sun are absorbed in the thermosphere, raising its temperature to hundreds or at times thousands of degrees.
  • Although some experts consider the thermosphere to be the uppermost layer of our atmosphere, others consider the exosphere to be the actual "final frontier" of Earth's gaseous envelope. Exosphere is somewhere between 100,000 km (62,000 miles) and 190,000 km (120,000 miles) above the surface of Earth. The latter value is about halfway to the Moon!

For each of the four single-displacement reactions, describe what happened in rachel well. if a chemical reaction occured, write
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Single replacement:

It is the reaction in which one elements replace the other element in compound.

General equation:

AB + C → AC + B

1) zinc and Copper sulfate

Zn + CuSO₄   →   ZnSO₄ + Cu

Zinc is more reactive than copper it displaces the copper from copper sulfate and form zinc sulfate.

2) Aluminium and Copper sulfate

2Al + 3CuSO₄   →  Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3Cu

Aluminium is more reactive than copper it displaces the copper from copper sulfate and form aluminium sulfate.

3) Zinc and silver nitrate

Zn + 2AgNO₃ → Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

zinc is more reactive than silver it displaces the silver from silver nitrate and form zinc nitrate.

4) copper and silver nitrate

Cu + 2AgNO₃  → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

copper is more reactive than silver it displaces the silver from silver nitrate and form copper nitrate.

Substance which allows energy to pass through it
Airida [17]
A substance which allows energy (heat or electricity) to pass through it is known as a conductor.

These substances usually have free electrons which allows the charges to flow easily in the substance, thus, transferring energy.

Other substances which do not have free electrons and do not allow energy to pass through them are known as insulators.

if you are told to get 100 mL of stock solution to use to prepare smaller size sample for an experiment, which piece of glasswar
fgiga [73]

Answer:

A beaker  

Step-by-step explanation:

Specifically, I would use a 250 mL graduated beaker.

A beaker is appropriate to measure 100 mL of stock solution, because it's easy to pour into itscwide mouth from a large stock bottle.

You don't need precisely 100 mL solution.

If the beaker is graduated, you can easily measure 100 mL of the stock solution.

Even if it isn't graduated, 100 mL is just under half the volume of the beaker, and that should be good enough for your purposes (you will be using more precise measuring tools during the experiment).
