Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In winter's, temperature of atmosphere is low and due to this molecules of air present in the tire come closer to each other as they gain potential energy and loses kinetic energy.

Hence, air pressure decreases and there is need to fill more air in the tire.

Whereas is summer's, temperature is high so, molecules of air inside the tire gain kinetic energy and move rapidly from one place to another due to number of collisions. So, air pressure increases and there is no need to fill more air inside the tire.

Thus, we can conclude that the temperature is lower, so the air inside the tires contracts.

Answer:

CO(g) + H2(g) + H2O(g) ==> CO2(g) + 2H2(g)

Explanation:

In the industry, hydrogen is prepared from water and hydrocarbons. Water gas being the major method of preparation of hydrogen industrially.

The water-gas reaction is an industrial process in which steam is passed over red-hot coke giving a gaseous mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen:

C + H2O(g) → CO + H2.

The mixture of CO and H2 is Futher passed through steam according to the equation:

CO(g) + H2(g) + H2O(g) ==> CO2(g) + 2H2(g) to give hydrogen and carbon dioxide.

What happens when you mix water and sugar

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Mixing water and sugar produces a mixture that is called a solution. In chemistry labs, this is often an experiment used to demonstrate the solubility of a solute in a solvent. In this experiment, the solute is sugar, and water is the solvent.
