Answer:
cools as it rises, then sinks back down
Explanation:
The movement of air is a convection current. Convection currents occur when warm air rises, cools down, and sinks due to gained density, replacing the warm air closer to the ground, creating a cycle.
Answer:
It is reactive because it has to gain an electron to have a full outermost energy level.
Explanation:
The electron configuration of oxygen is 1s2,2s2 2p4.
Oxygen is in group six in the periodic table so it has six electrons in its valence shell. This means that it needs to gain two electrons to obey the octet rule and have a full outer shell of electrons (eight).
Answer:
d. The gold(III) ion is most easily reduced.
Explanation:
The standard reduction potentials are
Au³⁺ + 3e⁻ ⟶ Au; 1.50 V
Hg²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Hg; 0.85 V
Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Zn; -0.76 V
Na⁺ + e⁻ ⟶ Na; -2.71 V
A <em>more positive voltage</em> means that there is a <em>stronger driving force</em> for the reaction.
Thus, Au³⁺ is the best acceptor of electrons.
Reduction Is Gain of electrons and, Au³⁺ is gaining electrons, so
Au³⁺ is most easily reduced.
The answer is (4). You may recall the term "radiometric dating," which refers to the dating of old artifacts by measuring proportions of certain radioactive isotopes they contain and making calculations based on their estimated half-lives. Geological formations are dated in this way.
