Because they contain more land.

Continental climates are found in the Northern Hemisphere more because the Northern Hemisphere is broader and has more land mass than the Southern Hemisphere. There isn't a lot of land in the Southern half and this most likely results in why the Northern Hemisphere has continental climates.

I hope this helps!

The vapor pressure of ethanol is 30°C at 98.5 mmHg and the heat of vaporization is 39.3 kJ/mol. Determine the normal boiling poi

Gelneren [198K]

Answer : The normal boiling point of ethanol will be, $348.67K$ or $75.67^oC$

Explanation :

The Clausius- Clapeyron equation is :

$\ln (\frac{P_2}{P_1})=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{R}\times (\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2})$

where,

$P_1$ = vapor pressure of ethanol at $30^oC$ = 98.5 mmHg

$P_2$ = vapor pressure of ethanol at normal boiling point = 1 atm = 760 mmHg

$T_1$ = temperature of ethanol = $30^oC=273+30=303K$

$T_2$ = normal boiling point of ethanol = ?

$\Delta H_{vap}$ = heat of vaporization = 39.3 kJ/mole = 39300 J/mole

R = universal constant = 8.314 J/K.mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$\ln (\frac{760mmHg}{98.5mmHg})=\frac{39300J/mole}{8.314J/K.mole}\times (\frac{1}{303K}-\frac{1}{T_2})$

$T_2=348.67K=348.67-273=75.67^oC$

Hence, the normal boiling point of ethanol will be, $348.67K$ or $75.67^oC$

In a room full of air, the air is mainly composed of Nitrogen and Oxygen molecules (both at room temperature). Find (to two sign

zloy xaker [14]

Explanation:

Expression for the $v_{rms}$ speed is as follows.

$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}$

where, $v_{rms}$ = root mean square speed

k = Boltzmann constant

T = temperature

M = molecular mass

As the molecular weight of oxygen is 0.031 kg/mol and R = 8.314 J/mol K. Hence, we will calculate the value of $v_{rms}$ as follows.

$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.02 K}{0.031 kg/mol}}$

= 498.5 m/s

Hence, $v_{rms}$ for oxygen atom is 498.5 m/s.

For nitrogen atom, the molecular weight is 0.028 kg/mol. Hence, we will calculate its $v_{rms}$ speed as follows.

$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.92 K}{0.028 kg/mol}}$

= 524.5 m/s

Therefore, $v_{rms}$ speed for nitrogen is 524.5 m/s.

An undergraduate weighed out 20grams of sodium hydroxide pellets. If Na =23, O = 16 andH = 1, What is the mole of this sodium hy

tatuchka [14]

The answer would be .5 mols because you take the total amount of grams, which is 20, and you had up the molar mass of sodium hydroxide, which would be 40. After you have this you would set this up as a stochiometry equation. With 1 mol on top you dived 20/40 to cancel out your grams. This leaves you with .5 mols
