What causes clouds to form on the upwind side of mountain ranges

1 answer:

8 0

I believe it’s because of the air from the lower part of the mountain adjusting to the climate at the top. Mountains cause air to rise, and when that air rises it cools down creating the clouds.

Hope I helped!

What creates an ionic bond?

natta225 [31]

Ionic bonding is the bonding between a positive metal with a negative nonmetal (metals are always positive while non metals are opposite). The meeting of a metal with a non metal creates an ionic bond.

A ball is released from the top of a hill. How fast is the ball going when it reaches the base of the hill? Approximate g as 10

irina [24]

First I’ll show you this standard derivation using conservation of energy:
Pi=Kf,
mgh = 1/2 m v^2,
V = sqrt(2gh)
P is initial potential energy, K is final kinetic, m is mass of object, h is height from stopping point, v is final velocity.
In this case the height difference for the hill is 2-0.5=1.5 m. Thus the ball is moving at sqrt(2(10)(1.5))=
5.477 m/s.

Predict which molecule will show a similar relationship between its heat of fusion and its heat vaporization that water does

BaLLatris [955]

Question:

A) C6H6

B) CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2COH6

C) NaCl

D) NH3

Answer:

The correct option is;

A) C₆H₆

Explanation:

Heat of fusion = 6.02 kJ/mol

Heat of vaporization =40.8 kJ/mol

Here, we analyze each of the options as follows

A) C₆H₆

Benzene has a melting point of 5.5° C and a boiling point of

80.1 ° C similar to water

Heat of fusion = 9.92 kJ/mol

Heat of vaporization =30.8kJ/mol

B) CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂COH₆

The above compound is more likely solid

C) NaCl solid

D) NH₃ melting point = -77.73 °C boiling point = -33.34 °C

Of the above, the compounds the one that closely resembles water is C₆H₆

An insulating cup contains 200 grams of water at 25 ∘C. Some ice cubes at 0 ∘C is placed in the water. The system comes to equil

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The amount of ice added in gram is 32.77g

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the heat capacity of materials

Given data

Mass of water Mw= 200g

Temperature of water θw= 25°c

Temperature of ice θice= 0°c

Equilibrium Temperature θe= 12°c

Mass of ice Mi=???

The specific heat of ice Ci= 2090 J/(kg ∘C)

specific heat of water Cw = 4186 J/(kg ∘C)

latent heat of the ice to water transition Li= 3.33 x10^5 J/kg

heat heat loss by water = heat gained by ice

N/B let us understand something, heat gained by ice is in two phases

Heat require to melt ice at 0°C to water at 0°C

And the heat required to take water from 0°C to equilibrium temperature

Hence

MwCwΔθ=MiLi +MiCiΔθ

Substituting our data we have

200*4186*(25-12)=Mi*3.3x10^5+

Mi*2090(12-0)

837200*13=Mi*3.3x10^5+Mi*2090

10883600=332090Mi

Mi=10883600/332090

Mi= 32.77g
