Explain how a convection current can enable a hawk or eagle to soar upward without flapping its wings

1 answer:

4 0

Convection is defined as the movement of air based on the differing temperatures of the air layers. The movement of this air causes an updraft at some point, since warmer air rises while cooler air sinks. This air also travels along the sky, whether its by a jet stream or just wind or some other form of air movement. This would provide the eagle or hawk to soar without flapping, since the air from underneath supports it up.

Phosphorous trichloride and phosphorous pentachloride equilibrate in the presence of molecular chlorine according to the reactio

umka21 [38]

Answer : The value of $K_p$ at this temperature is 66.7

Explanation : Given,

Pressure of $PCl_3$ at equilibrium = 0.348 atm

Pressure of $Cl_2$ at equilibrium = 0.441 atm

Pressure of $PCl_5$ at equilibrium = 10.24 atm

The balanced equilibrium reaction is,

$PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)$

The expression of equilibrium constant $K_p$ for the reaction will be:

$K_p=\frac{(p_{PCl_5})}{(p_{PCl_3})(p_{Cl_2})}$

Now put all the values in this expression, we get :

$K_p=\frac{(10.24)}{(0.348)(0.441)}$

$K_p=66.7$

Therefore, the value of $K_p$ at this temperature is 66.7

how much water should be added to 1 gallon of pure antifreeze to obtain a solution that is 60% antifreeze?

antoniya [11.8K]

1 gallon of antifreeze = 60% of mixture. Total mixture:
Vm = 1/0.6
= 1.67 gallons

Volume of water = total vol - antifreeze vol
= 1.67 - 1
= 0.67 gallon of water

Determine the formula weights of each of the following compounds.Part A) Nitrous oxide, N2O, known as laughing gas and used as a

densk [106]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

a) Nitrous oxide (N2O) has a molar mass of 44.014 amu. It has 2 nitrogen atoms each with a mass of 14.007 amu and 1 oxygen atom with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage nitrogen = (2*14.007 amu/ 44.014 amu ) *100% = 63.6%

Percentage oxygen = (16 amu/44.014 amu) * 100% = 36.4 %

63.6% + 36.4% = 100%

b) Benzoic acid (C7H6O2) has a molar mass of 122.13 amu. It has 6 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu; it has 7 carbon atoms each with a mass of 12.01amu and 2 oxygen atoms with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage hydrogen = (6*1.01 amu / 122.13 amu)*100% = 4.96%

Percentage carbon = (7*12.01 amu/ 122.13 amu)*100% = 68.8%

Percentage oxygen = (2*16 amu/ 122.13 amu) *100% = 26.2%

c) Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) has a molecular mass of 58.32 amu. It has 2 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu; it has 1 magnesium atom with a mass of 24.3 amu and two oxygen atoms with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage hydrogen = (2*1.01 amu/ 58.32 amu) *100% = 3.46 %

Percentage magnesium = (24.3 amu/58.32 amu)*100% = 41.7%

Percentage oxygen = (2*16 amu/58.32 amu)*100% = 54.9%

d) Urea CO(NH2)2 has a molecular mass of 60.064 amu. It has 2 Nitrogen atoms each with a mass of 14.007 amu, 4 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu,1 carbon atom with a mass of 12.01 amu and 1 oxygen atom with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage nitrogen = (2*14.007 amu/ 60.064amu)*100% = 46.6%

Percentage hydrogen = (4*1.01 amu/60.064amu)*100% = 6.72%

Percentage carbon = (12.01 amu/60.064amu)*100% = 20.0%

Percentage oxygen = (16 amu/60.064amu)*100% = 26.6%

e) Osopentyl acetate (C7H14O2) has a molecular mass of 130.2 amu. It has 14 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu,7 carbon atoms each with a mass of 12.01 amu and 2 oxygen atom with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage hydrogen = (14*1.01 amu/130.2 amu)*100% = 10.8%

Percentage carbon = (7*12.01 amu/130.2 amu)*100% = 64.6%

Percentage oxygen =(2*16 amu/130.2 amu)*100% = 24.6%
