1) What is air pressure? (Answer: Atmospheric pressure, sometimes also called barometric pressure, is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth.)

2) What is a barometer and what is it used to measure? (Answer: A barometer is a scientific instrument used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure. Pressure tendency can forecast short term changes in the weather.)

3) How does air pressure change? (Answer: Millibar values used in meteorology range from about 100 to 1050. At sea level, standard air pressure in millibars is 1013.2. Weather maps showing the pressure at the surface are drawn using millibars. ... This change in pressure is caused by changes in air density, and air density is related to temperature.)

4) Why is cooler, drier air related to High Pressure? (Answer: This is due to density differences between the two air masses. Since stronger high-pressure systems contain cooler or drier air, the air mass is denser and flows towards areas that are warm or moist, which are in the vicinity of low pressure areas in advance of their associated cold fronts.)

5) Why is warm, moister air related to Low Pressure? (Answer: When air warms, its molecules scatter. The air becomes lighter and rises.)

6.) The barometer would show a decrease in wind speed resulting in the dissipation of cloud cover because of the lack of wind, and also because the temperature is dropping there is less precipitation because there is no hot air rising to create clouds.

7.) If it is getting cloudy, it is because the air is rising. This is what causes the condensation of the moisture by adiabatic cooling of a lesser pressure aloft. If the air is rising, the pressure must fall. The barometer will show a lesser pressure. The temperature, on the other side, has very little to do with it.

Hai, how you a doin?

Two samples of sodium chloride with different masses were decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produced 1.731.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter c) 6.09 g of sodium and 9.38 g of chlorine.

Explanation:

This problem is solve using rule of three

We know that the proportion Sodium to Chloride is 1 to 1 in sodium chloride, so we have to look for this proportion in the options

AM Sodium = 23 g

AM Chlorine = 35.5 g

Sodium Chlorine

23 g ---------------- 1 mol 35.5 g -------------- 1 mol

1713.73g ------------- x 2666.6 g ------------- x

x = 1713.73/23 = 74.51 x = 2666.6/35.5 = 75.12

These values are very similar, we have to look for the proportion in the options

a) 6.09g of sodium = 0.26 mol

4,87 g of chlorine = 0.14 mol These numbers are not very similar

b) We have 0.26 mol of Na

0.037 mol of Cl This is not the answer

c) We have 0.26 mol of Na

0.26 mol of Cl These numbers are the same, the proportion is 1:1, this is the answer

d) We have 0.26 mol of Na

0.36 mol of Cl This is not the answer

For the reaction shown here, 3.5 mola is mixed with 5.9 molb and 2.2 molc. what is the limiting reactant?3a+2b+c→2d

Misha Larkins [42]

For equation A + 3B + 2C ---> 2D, 1 mole of A will produce 2 moles of D 3 moles of B will produce 2 moles of D, so 1 mole of B will produce 2/3 moles of D 2 moles of C will produce 2 moles of D, so 1 mole of C will produce 1 mole of D If only 1 mole of B is present, only 2/3 moles of D can be produced. This is regardless of the number of moles of A and C. B is the limiting reactant and the maximum number of moles of D expected is 2/3.

What is the octet rule?

PolarNik [594]

The Octet rule is a general rule of thumb that applies to most atoms. Basically, it states that every atom wants to have eight valence electrons in its outermost electron shell.

Which of the following statements is true? Protons have a mass that contributes significantly to the mass of the atomic nucleus.

Lunna [17]

The following statements from the paragraph are true. Protons have a mass that contributes significantly to the mass of the atomic nucleus. Neutrons have a mass that contributes significantly to the mass of the atomic nucleus. Electrons have a very low mass and are not found in the nucleus but instead are found in surrounding orbits.
