Why is the atmospheric pressure lower on a high mountain peak than at sea level

Chemistry

Elenna [48]3 years ago

The earths gravity attracts the molecules and collects the most near the surface. They all have weight and therefore have more pressure at the surface, as well. As you go higher, the attraction becomes less and these molecules some times fly off into space. This layer of equilibrium has the least of weight or pressure. 

The various pressures are measured by precision instruments called barometers or pressure sensors and expressed in inches of mercury or millibars. <span>Air has a weight too, although not very much, If you "pile" the air mile high, the bottom pressure is heavier because of all the air sitting on top of it, therefore the pressure decreases with altitude, because there is less air "piled up" </span>
<span>An analogy would be the same with water.</span>

Planes have these instruments that tells the crew the altitude above sea level they are at when flying.

How many 2-tablespoon doses are in 4 bottles of medication containing 16 ounces each?
Dima020 [189]

1 tablespoon = 0.5 ounces

We are required to find for 2 table spoons.

2 table spoons = 2 x 0.5 = 1 ounce.

Each bottle has 16 ounce.

Number of bottles = 4

So total number = 4 x 16 = 64 ounces.

Number of 2 table spoons = \frac{64 ounce}{1 ounce}

= 64

Thus there are 64 2-tablespoon doses are in 4 bottles of medication containing 16 ounces each.

Like Father Like Mother What is the best summary of this oassage
vovangra [49]

Answer:

hope this helps <3

Explanation:

Landon glances across the dinner table and thinks to himself that his fathers curly hair looks just like his own. He wishes his hair were straight like his mothers because he thinks he looks better with straight hair. Landon works hard to keep it straighter by combing and using hair gel, but it usually curls right back up. He has his mothers nose, but not her hair, unlike his sister Emily, who is also the result of the combination of the DNA from both of his parents and has straight hair like their mothers. Most eukaryotic organisms, like Landon, are formed through the process of sexual reproduction. Landon realizes that he and Emily are evidence that sexual reproduction, the combination of their two parents, creates diverse offspring.

Landons dinner plate is filled with one of his favorite foods-mashed potatoes made from potatoes fresh from his grandmothers garden. He remembers helping her get ready to plant the potatoes in early spring. They cut each potato into several pieces and planted the pieces in a nice straight row in the garden. When these eukaryotic plants came up, he noticed that each plant looked like all the others. These identical offspring with uniform traits are the result of asexual reproduction. Landons grandmother grew potatoes by cutting the whole potato into smaller pieces, which is a type of asexual reproduction called vegetative propagation.

After dinner, Landon wanted to go watch television, but his mother insisted that he put the leftover food in the refrigerator. Perhaps she knew that the cool temperature inside the refrigerator would stop the growth of bacteria, which are prokaryotic and can reproduce asexually in as little as 20 minutes. This rapid asexual reproduction, called binary fission, would produce thousands and thousands of identical bacterial cells that could cause Landons tasty leftover food to spoil before the end of his favorite show.

Landon finishes up the dishes and puts away the leftovers. As he sets the last dinner glass back into the cupboard, he catches a glimpse of his curly hair in his reflection. He thinks to himself that his mothers nose and his fathers hair are actually a good combination that looks pretty good on him

What is the pH of a solution that has a hydroxide ion concentration of 1.0×10−9 M?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{pH = 5.00}}

Explanation:

Step 1. Calculate the pOH

pOH =-log[OH⁻]

pOH =-log(1.0 × 10⁻⁹)

pOH = 9.00

Step 2. Calculate the pH

pH + pOH = 14.00

pH + 9.00 = 14.00

\boxed{\textbf{pH = 5.00}}
