Answer:

m = 5.27e18 kg

Explanation:

The pressure of a fluid is the weigth of a column of that fluid over base of that column.

P = \frac{weight}{base}

The weight of the column is its mass multiplied by the acceleration of gravity. The acceleration of gravity varies with height, however the variation is small and can be ignored, consifering the acceleration of gravity constant.

weight = m * g

So:

P = \frac{m * g}{base}

If we consider the entirety of the atmosphere as a single column the base would be the surface of Earth. Approximating Earth as a sphere:

S = 4 * \pi * r^2

Now, we can obtain the mass of the atmosphere:

m = \frac{4 * P * \pi * r^2}{g}

m = \frac{4 * 1 01325* \pi * 6373106^2}{9.81} = 5.27e18 kg

Compare physical changes and chemical changes
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The difference between a physical reaction and a chemical reaction is composition. In a chemical reaction, there is a change in the composition of the substances in question; in a physical change there is a difference in the appearance, smell, or simple display of a sample of matter without a change in composition. Although we call them physical "reactions," no reaction is actually occurring. In order for a reaction to take place, there must be a change in the elemental composition of the substance in question. Thus, we shall simply refer to physical "reactions" as physical changes from now on.

Explanation:

Physical changes are limited to changes that result in a difference in display without changing the composition. Some common changes (but not limited to) are:

Texture

Color

Temperature

Shape

Change of State (Boiling Point and Melting Point are significant factors in determining this change.)

Physical properties include many other aspects of a substance. The following are (but not limited to) physical properties.

Luster

Malleability

Ability to be drawn into a thin wire

Density

Viscosity

Solubility

Mass

Volume

What quantity of heat must be removed from 20g<br>of water at 0°C to change it to ice at 0°C?​
seraphim [82]

The quantity of heat must be removed is 1600 cal or 1,6 kcal.

<h3>Explanation : </h3>

From the question we will know if the condition of ice is at the latent point. So, the heat level not affect the temperature, but it can change the object existence. So, for the formula we can use.

\boxed {\bold {Q = m \times L}}

If :

  • Q = heat of latent (cal or J )
  • m = mass of the thing (g or kg)
  • L = latent coefficient (cal/g or J/kg)
<h3>Steps : </h3>

If :

  • m = mass of water = 20 g => its easier if we use kal/g°C
  • L = latent coefficient = 80 cal/g

Q = ... ?

Answer :

Q = m \times L \\ Q = 20 \times 80 = 1600 \: cal

So, the quantity of heat must be removed is 1600 cal or 1,6 kcal.
