why is atmospheric pressure generally lower beneath a mass of warm air than beneath a mass of cold air?

It is so because warm air is lighter than cold air. Cold air means the molecules are not moving as much, so they will feel like sticking together and will not jump around as molecules in warm air will(higher temp. means higher KE). Think of a solid, colder solids are much heavier than warmer ones(think of ice-starts melting).

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

6.1×10^4Pa or 61KPa

Explanation:

The Clausius-Clapeyron equation is used to estimate the vapour pressure at different temperature, once the enthalpy of vaporization and the vapor pressure at another temperature is given in the question. The detailed solution is shown in the image attached. The temperatures were converted to kelvin and the energy value was converted from kilojoule to joule since the value of the gas constant was given in unit of joule per mole per kelvin. The fact that lnx=2.303logx was also applied in the solution.

Can someone help me understand what 1b is asking and how to answer it?
icang [17]
The question is basically asking what is happening to the energy (that is in the form of heat) when it is being absorbed by an object.  The energy being absorbed from the heat source is being turned into kinetic energy.  This can be explained by temperature change.  As you add more heat to an object, the temperature rises.  Since temperature is the average kinetic energy of all of the molecules in an object, we can say that as temperature rises so does the kinetic energy of the molecules in the object.  Due to the fact that heat is causing the temperature to increase, we can say that the energy from the heat is being turned into kinetic energy.  

I hope this helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

What pressure is required to compress 196.0 liters of air at 1.83 atmosphere into a cylinder whose volume is 26.0 liters
drek231 [11]

Answer:

P₂ = 13.79 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 196.0 L

Initial pressure = 1.83 atm

Final volume = 26.0 L

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solved through the Boyle's law,

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

1.83 atm × 196.0 L = P₂× 26.0 L

P₂ = 358.68 atm. L /  26.0 L

P₂ = 13.79 atm
