Reasons why convection is responsible for the uneven heating of the air in the atmosphere

Chemistry
1 answer:
igor_vitrenko [27]3 years ago
4 0
FULL ANSWER<span>As the sun heats Earth, land absorbs solar radiation more readily than water, which allows it to heat at a much faster rate. Heat radiates out from the planet's surface to warm the atmosphere through a process known as convention. Wind is created when the air above landmasses absorbs heat from the surface until it begins to expand and rise, drawing in heavier, cooler air from over the oceans to take its place. This process is reversed at night when air above the land cools more rapidly than air above the planet's oceans.Wind patterns and atmospheric currents are formed on a global scale because air near the planet's equator is heated more rapidly than the air found in polar regions. Global wind patterns include trade winds as well the jet stream, a river of air that forms a boundary between polar air masses and the warmer air found closer to the equator.Hope this helps xox :)</span>

Explain two advantages and disadvantages of using energy created by nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.
alisha [4.7K]
A. NUCLEAR FUSION  is the combination of two atomic nuclei in order to create an atom that in turn creates energy.

A.1 DISADVANTAGES

1. Expensive Construction Costs-
To be able to put up such powerhouse, it needs ostentatious financial support to create a facility and gather experts and scientists.

2. Energy Input vs Energy Output- 
To be able to fuse the two nuclei together, there is a great demand for high levels of heat. Thus to be able to produce large amount of energy, it also needs a large amount of thermal energy which is not reasonable enough.

A.2 ADVANTAGES

1. Barely Any Waste- 
the only by product of nuclear fusion is helium and it is non toxic. This does not cause any harm to the environment and to people.

2. Unlimited Fuel- 
All of the components needed to produce energy can be made. Deuterium, which is the main ingredient needed to supply a truly unlimited and sustainable energy supply, can be distilled from the sea water.


B. NUCLEAR FISSION- refers to the process of splitting of the nucleus of an atom into several smaller particles to produce free neutrons and lighter elements.

B.1 DISADVANTAGES

1. It can be dangerous for employees- 
Radiation which is one of the byproducts of nuclear fission can be harmful to the personnel working within its premises.

2. It has high initial expenses- 
Nuclear power plants needs a specialized equipment for it to become functional. 

B.2 ADVANTAGES


1. It helps minimize environmental pollution- 
Nuclear power plants can produce large amounts of energy while consuming relatively minimal amount of fossil fuel. To explain further, consumption and usage of fossil fuel poses adverse effect in the environment because it can emit carbon dioxide and other harmful chemicals.

2. It helps reduce global warming- If the world would opt for nuclear fission, then there would be less greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. This in turn would mitigate global warming.

What is the mass of one mole of hydrogen molecules?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

2 grams

Explanation:

One MOLE of hydrogen atoms contains the same number of atoms as the number of hydrogen molecules in one MOLE of hydrogen molecules, i.e., Avagadros number. However, one mole of hydrogen atoms has a mass of 1 gram while one MOLE of hydrogen molecules has a mass of 2 grams.

Aluminum metal and manganese (IV) oxide react to produce aluminum oxide and manganese metal. What mass of manganese (IV) oxide r
gayaneshka [121]

Answer: 1.77 kg of manganese (IV) oxide reacts to produce 1.12kg of manganese metal.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

4Al+3MnO_2\rightarrow 2Al_2O_3+3Mn

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

moles of manganese = \frac{1.12\times 1000g}{55g/mol}=20.4mol

According to stoichiometry :

3 moles of Mn is produced by = 3 moles of MnO_2

Thus 20.4 moles of Mn is produced by =\frac{3}{3}\times 20.4=20.4moles  of MnO_2

Mass of MnO_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=20.4moles\times 86.9g/mol=1773g=1.773kg    (1kg=1000g)

Thus 1.77 kg of manganese (IV) oxide reacts to produce 1.12kg of manganese metal.
