Solutes lower the freezing point of water by:

1 answer:

7 0

Water molecules are constantly moving in Ice they move slower and are more tightly packed together and move at a slower pace to lower the freezing point you would have to find a solute that makes it harder for water to form crystals

Match each statement with a layer of the atmosphere. There will be two statements for each layer.

LuckyWell [14K]

The troposphere:

H. This layer can have thunderstorms or clear, sunny skies.

A. The biosphere interacts most with this layer.

The stratosphere:

B. It is the second layer from Earth's surface.

G. Winds are strong and steady in this layer.

The mesosphere:

E. It is heated by the ozone layer beneath it.

D. This layer is where most meteor showers occur.

The thermosphere :

F. It contains the ionosphere and exosphere.

C. It contains layers of single, unmixed gas.

Explanation:

Depending on the Earth's temperature the atmosphere can be separated into layers. The troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere and the thermosphere are those layers. The lowest layer is named as Troposphere (0-10 km from the Earth outer surface), it comprises about 75% of the atmosphere's total air and nearly most the water vapor.

Stratosphere (10-30) includes much of the surface ozone. The change in height temperature arises as this ozone absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. The temperature in Mesosphere (30-50 Km) declines again with height, hitting a minimum of about -90 ° C at the "mesopause." Above this thermosphere (50-400 Km) is settled which is a area where temperatures rise with height once again. The penetration of intense UV and X-ray radiation from the sun induces this temperature rise.

A 2.5 L flask is filled with 0.25 atm SO3, 0.20 atm SO2, and 0.40 atm O2, and allowed to reach equilibrium. Assume at the temper

Anit [1.1K]

Explanation:

Reaction equation for the given chemical reaction is as follows.

$2SO_{3} \rightleftharpoons 2SO_{2} + O_{2}$

Equation for reaction quotient is as follows.

Q = $\frac{P^{2}_{SO_{2}} \times P_{O_{2}}}{P^{2}_{SO_{3}}}$

= $\frac{(0.20)^{2} \times 0.40}{(0.25)^{2}}$

= 0.256

As, Q > K (= 0.12)

The effect on the partial pressure of $SO_{3}$ as equilibrium is achieved by using Q, is as follows.

This means that there are too much products.

Equilibrium will shift to the left towards reactants.

More $SO_{3}$ is formed.

Partial pressure of $SO_{3}$ increases.

What is scientific literacy? Why is it important?

miskamm [114]

Answer:Scientific literacy is the knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts and processes required for personal decision making, participation in civic and cultural affairs, and economic productivity. It also includes specific types of abilities.Science literacy is important because it provides a context for addressing societal problems, and because a science- literate populace can better cope with many of its prob- lems and make intelligent and informed decisions that will affect the quality of their lives and those of their children.
