Explanation:

Boiling is defined as a process in which vapor pressure of a liquid substance becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure.

During this change liquid and vapors remain in equilibrium and the equation for this change is as follows.

$X(l) \rightleftharpoons X(g)$

Therefore, when boiling takes place then average kinetic energy of particles in liquid phase equals to the average kinetic energy of particles in vapor phase.

Hence, we can increase the kinetic energy of particles in liquid phase by increasing the temperature because kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature as follows.

K.E = $\frac{3}{2}kT$

pychu [463]

Answer:

262.5 Joules

Explanation:

You find the kinetic energy of multiplying half of the mass by the velocity. In this word problem it tells you the mass so you divide it by 2. That answer is 2.625, you then multiply that by the velocity, in this instance it's 1.0 x 10^2 mi/h.

The unit in kinetic energy is Joules. This is actually a really important part in chemistry and physics.

Which biogeochemical cycle is the only one that does not include the atmosphere?

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Phosphorus cycle

Explanation:

Biogeochemical cycle, any of the natural pathways by which essential elements of living matter are circlated.

There are four types of biogeochemical cycle, they are ; water cycle,carbon cycle,nitrogen cycle and phosphorous cycle

Carbon cycle is the cycle in which photosynthesis and cellular respiration take place.

Water cycle involves transpiration.

Nitrogen cycle Is the cycle that is dependent upon bacteria for nitrogen fixation and denitrification.

Phosphorus cycle is one of the slowest biogeochemical cycle. It does not stay in the atmosphere, because it is normally in a liquid state at room temperature. It does not include the atmosphere.
