What's compound streak mean in science

Chemistry
1 answer:
Marysya12 [62]3 years ago
5 0
Streak is the color a solid substance leaves behind when it is used to scratch a white porcelain tile. This is often different than the apparent color of the substance upon first visual examination, and it is a more accurate way to identify a substance (usually rocks and minerals) because while external color often varies from sample to sample, streak color is consistent.

Match the statements with the atmospheric layer they describe.
vekshin1

The correct matches are:

1. Exosphere - Temperatures reach as high as 2000 C yet it feels very cold

This is the top layer of the atmosphere. The atoms are so dispersed that despite it having very high temperature it doesn't feel like it at all.

2. Thermosphere - Particles that have enough energy can escape into space

The thermosphere is the fourth highest layer of the atmosphere. The atoms in this layer are relatively distant from one another, so the particles that have enough energy manage to escape easily into the exosphere and then the space.

3. Mesosphere - It is the coldest region of the atmosphere

The mesosphere is the third highest layer. In this layer the temperatures constantly drop, and they go down to -85 degrees, making it the coldest layer by far.

4. Stratosphere - Ninety percent ozone is in this layer

The startosphere has a separte zone in it which is dominated by only one gas, the ozone. It is called the ozone layer, the one that protects the Earth from too intense UV radiation, and in fact over 90% of this gas is locate here.

5. Troposphere - It is warm due to the heat from Earth's surface

The troposphere is the densest and lowest of the layers. It is the one that also has Greenhouse gases which manage to trap the heat that is radiated from the surface of the Earth, thus keeping this layer relatively warm.

What causes water to become denser when it is carried to the poles by surface currents? increased temperature and increased sali
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The answer is decreased temperature and increased salinity

Explanation:

It is what is known as the thermohaline circulation

The thermohaline circulation moves the water slowly. This water moves mainly due to differences in its relative density. Much denser water sinks over water that is less dense. Two factors impact the density of seawater: temperature and salinity.

Cold water is denser than hot water:

-Water cools when it loses heat, it occurs at high latitudes.

-Water is heated when it receives energy from the sun, at low latitudes.

Saltier water is much denser than water that has less salt:

-Sea water becomes salty if the evaporation rate increases.

-Sea water becomes less salty if there is a water inlet over the sea.

What is the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons when cesium is exposed to UV rays of frequency 1.0×1015Hz?
Anvisha [2.4K]
In order to emit electrons, the cesium will have to absorb photons. Each photon will knock out one electron by transferring its energy to the electron. Therefore, by the principle of energy conservation, the energy of the removed electron will be equal to the energy of the incident photon. That energy is calculated using Planck's equation:

E = hf

E = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ * 1 x 10¹⁵
E =  6.63 x 10⁻¹⁹ Joules

The electron will have 6.63 x 10⁻¹⁹ Joules of kinetic energy

Which is the correct expression for Keq when the chemical reaction is as follows:
zhuklara [117]
The expression of the Keq is [NH3]2/([N2][H2]3). The common formula of reaction: ax+by=cz is Keq - [z]c/([x]a*[y]b). Remember to use a balanced chemical reaction.
