The downward pressure on the hg in barometer is <u>the same as</u> the pressure of the atmosphere.

The atmospheric pressure or barometric pressure is the force exerted by the air in the atmosphere on the earth's surface.

The atmospheric pressure is caused by air molecules colliding with the surface. The atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 101 kPa and at the cruising altitude of a passenger plane it is 27 kPa.

The atmospheric pressure decrease as the height of a surface above ground level increases.

<h3>What is a barometer?</h3>

A barometer is a measuring instrument used to measure the atmospheric pressure or weight of the air, which is useful for making weather predictions.

in terms of amounts of energy and harmful radioactive waste produced , which of the following is the most accurate comparison of

Eddi Din [679]

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion produces more energy with less radioactive waste compared to nuclear fission process.

In nuclear fission, a radioactive decay occurs in which a heavy nucleus spontaneously disintegrates into two lighter nuclei and several neutrons with the release of energy.
Nuclear fusion occurs when small atomic nuclei combines into larger ones with the release of a large amount of energy.
Instability of a nuclide is enough to start up a nuclear fission reaction. In some instances, a heavy nuclide is bombarded with another nuclide.
In nuclear fusion, the activation energy required to start up is very great.

Nuclear wastes emanating from nuclear fusion process is least compared to that of nuclear fission.

Nuclear fusion produces more energy compared to nuclear fission process.

Find the volume of 0.100M hydrochloric acid necessary to react completely with 1.51g Al(OH)3.

shtirl [24]

Reaction equation:
Al(OH)₃ + 3HCl → AlCl₃ + 3H₂O
Moles of Al(OH)₃:
moles = mass/Mr
= 1.51 / (27 + 17 x 3)
= 0.019
Molar ratio Al(OH)₃ : HCl = 1 : 3
Moles of HCl required = 0.019 x 3
=0.057
concentration = moles/volume
volume = 0.057 / 0.1
= 0.57 dm³
= 570 ml
