Answer:

The reduced vapor pressure at high altitudes causes a liquid to boil at a lower temperature.

Explanation:

A liquid will change its form when its vapor pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure. At higher altitudes, the air pressure will be lower since there will be less air above your head compared to the sea level. This means the atmospheric pressure will be lower, and the vapor pressure needed for the liquid will be reduced.

The pressure is directly proportional to temperature. Since the vapor pressure required is lower, the liquid can start to boil at a lower temperatures.

The _HIGHER__ vapor pressure at high altitudes causes a liquid to boil at a _LOWER___ temperature.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure is the pressure applied by the molecule of a liquid at the surface of the liquid as it transitions into a gaseous phase. When the vapor pressure exceeds the atmospheric pressure, this is when the liquid begins to boil. Therefore when the atmospheric pressure is low, then the liquid will boil at lower temperatures, because the vapor pressure of the liquid will overcome the atmospheric pressure at lower temperatures.

When 12 moles of methanol (ch3oh) and 24 moles of oxygen gas react according to the chemical equation below, what is the limitin

Nataliya [291]

The balanced reaction equation for the reaction between CH₃OH and O₂ is
2CH₃OH(l) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(l)
Initial moles 12 24
Reacted moles 12 18
Final moles - 6 12 24

The stoichiometric ratio between CH₃OH and O₂ is 2 : 3
Hence,
reacted moles of O₂ = reacted moles of CH₃OH x (3/2)
= 12 mol x 3 / 2
= 18 mol

All of CH₃OH moles react with O₂.

Hence, the limiting agent is CH₃OH.

Excess reagent is O₂.
Amount of moles of excess reagent left = 24 - 18 mol = 6 mol

LenKa [72]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

exceeds evaporation over land

Precipitation<u> exceeds evaporation over land </u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>In order to maintain earths water balance, evaporation exceeds precipitation over oceans but precipitation exceeds evaporation over land.</u></em>
Water evaporates into the atmosphere from the ocean and to a much lesser extent from the continents. Winds transport this moisture-laden air, often great distances, until conditions cause the moisture to condense into clouds and to precipitate and fall.
Most precipitation originates by evaporation from the oceans. Over time, water evaporated from the oceans is replenished by inflow of freshwater from rivers and streams.
