Explain the following observation: Wet clothing spread out on a clothes line dries more quickly than wet clothing left in a pile

The reason wet clothes spread out dry faster than when left in a pile is because there is more surface area therefore the rate of evaporation increases and this decreases the time it takes for the water molecules to diffuse into the air.

Arrange the steps in order to describe how photons and carbon dioxide contribute to the warming of earth
adell [148]

Answer:

The steps are arranged in the following order, describing how carbon dioxide and photons  impact the earth's warming.

Explanation:

The sequence is in the following order;

  1. The sun radiated sunlight (visible) photons
  2. Photons from the sun strike the earth and become infrared photons
  3. Earth radiates infrared photons into the atmosphere
  4. CO2 in the atmosphere absorb infrared photons
  5. CO2 in the atmosphere emit infrared photons back towards earth

Carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules can absorb energy from infrared (IR) radiation. Due to vibrations caused by this absorption, the CO2 molecules later release extra energy by emitting another infrared photon.

This ability of CO2 molecules to absorb and re-emit infrared energy is what makes it an effective heat-trapping greenhouse gas.

What do you think happens to the air in the collid when ice cream melts ?
vichka [17]

The air escapes into the atmosphere.

An <em>emulsion</em> is a colloidal dispersion of one liquid in another liquid in which it does not dissolve.

<em>Ice cream</em> is essentially an emulsion of the fat in milk with a sugar solution trapped in a network of small ice crystals. Other chemicals are added to prevent the emulsion from separating, and air bubbles are mixed into the semisolid mixture.

<em>Up to 50 %</em> of the volume of ice cream can be air.

When the ice cream melts, the air bubbles are <em>no longer trapped</em>. They just escape into the atmosphere.

If you re-freeze the melted ice cream, its volume will be much less than the original.

Which of the above buffers (acetic acid, formic acid, boric acid, ascorbic acid, tris) would be useful if you wished to maintain
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

To maintain a pH value of 8.8 in a particular solution the best option is Tris or boric acid.

Explanation:

To decide a good acid/conjugate base pair it is necessary to know the pKa of the acids because every buffer has an optimal effective range due to pH = pKa ± 1. The closer the working pH is to the acid pKa, the buffer will be more effective. Below is the list of the pKa of the different option.

Acetic acid: pKa = 4.76

Boric acid: pKa1 = 9.24 pKa2 = 12.74 pKa3 = 13.80

Ascorbic acid: pKa1 = 4.17 pKa2 = 11.57

Tris:  pKa = 8.06

Acetic and Ascorbic acid are too far from the range of 8.8. Thus the best options are boric acid or Tris. To define between these two it is necessary to consider other factors like interaction between components of the solution and the ionic strength required.

Match the effects on the concentration of SO3 gas when the following changes occur after initial equilibrium has been establishe
mestny [16]

The effects on the concentration of SO3 gas when the following changes occur after initial equilibrium has been established in this system (N.C. = no change) by adding a catalyst.

2SO2(g) + O2(g)  2SO3(g) + 46.8 kcal

So that even though there is an addition of catalyst, no change in reactants or products has occurred because catalyst only provides a faster pathway for the reaction to occur.
