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

Chemistry

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>

Which layer of the earth is the thinnest and thickest?
Xelga [282]

Answer:

crust

Discuss with the whole class what the relative thicknesses of the layers are — that the inner core and outer core together form the thickest layer of the Earth and that the crust is by far the thinnest layer.

A chemist determined by measurements that 0.050 moles of aluminum participated in a chemical reaction. Calculate the mass of alu
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

13.5 g

Explanation:

This question is solved easily if we remember that the number of moles is obtained by dividing the mass into the atomic weight or molar mass depending if we are referring to elements or molecules.

Therefore, the mass of aluminum in the reaction will the 0.050 mol Al times the atomic weight of aluminum.

number of moles = n = mass of Al / Atomic Weight Al

⇒ mass Al = n x Atomic Weight Al = 0.050 mol x 27 g mol⁻¹

                                                         = 13.5 g

We have three significant figures in 0.050 and therefore we should have three significant figures in our answer.

Red light has a wavelength of about 6.5 x 10-7m. Find its frequency. Show all work.
ozzi
For this problem we use the wave equation. It is expressed as the speed (c) is equal to the product of frequency (f) and wavelength (v).

c = v x f

We know the wavelength of the an red light which is 6.5 x 10^-7 m. Now, we solve for the wavelength of the unknown wave to see the relation between the two waves.

2.998 X 10^8 = 5.3 X 10^15 X v
v = 2.998 X 10^8 / (5.3 X 10^15) = 5.657 X 10^-8 m

Therefore, the wavelength of the unknown wave is less than the wavelength of the red light.
