When air descends it compresses. When the air compresses the molecules in the air knock into each other more often, increasing the tempertature.
Hope this helps
Answer:
The nichrome wire is dirty.
The solution is contaminated.
Explanation:
If the nichrome wire is dirty, it may contain sodium contaminants which may be responsible for the yellow flame. The nichrome wire is first inserted into the flame without the sample to check for impurities.
The test solution may also have been contaminated. This leads to the appearance of a colour different from the expected colour of the test cation in the solution.
For the titration we use the equation,
M₁V₁ = M₂V₂
where M is molarity and V is volume. Substituting the known values,
(0.15 M)(43.2 mL) = (2)(M₂)(20.5 mL)
We multiply the right term by 2 because of the number of H+ in H2SO4. Calculating for M₂ will give us 0.158 M. Thus, the answer is approximately 0.16M.
