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.

Lithium-6 has a mass of 6.0151 amu and lithium-7 has a mass of 7.0160 amu. The relative abundance of Li-6 is 7.42% and the relat

horsena [70]

Average atomic mass is the weighted average atomic masses with regard to the relative abundance of the isotopes
average atomic mass of Li = relative abundance of Li-6 x mass of Li-6 + relative abundance of Li-7 x mass of Li-7
average atomic mass of Li = (7.42% x 6.0151 a.m.u) + (92.58% x 7.0160 a.m.u)
= 0.446 + 6.495
= 6.941 amu
average atomic mass of Li is 6.941 amu

An increase in the atomic number________the atomic radius moving from left to right across a period.

frez [133]

Answer:

decrease

Explanation:

Atomic radius :

It is the distance from the center of nucleus to the outer most electronic shell.

Trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required

Suppose you are presented with a clear solution of sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3 . How could you determine whether the solution is

navik [9.2K]

Explanation:

A solution is said to saturated when it cannot dissolve any extra solute in it. The extra solute put remains undissolved.

A solution is said to unsaturated, when the concentration of solute is less as compared to solubility of the solution it is said to be unsaturated.

A solution is said to be super saturated when it contains more of the solute than the solvent can dissolve under normal conditions is called super saturated.
