Answer:

1- Option (A)

2- Option (A)

Explanation:

The pressure is often defined as the force per unit area. In the atmosphere, the pressure is maximum at the troposphere and is tightly packed near the ground surface. The troposphere is the region where the temperature decreases with the increasing height. The atmospheric pressure at sea level is nearly 1013.2 millibar (mb). The difference in the pressure in this layer causes the wind that is responsible for the occurrence of different types of weather patterns.

The earth and the sun maintains the shortest distance at its Perihelion position, which takes place in the month of January during the winter season in the northern hemisphere. And on the other hand, the earth is far away from the sun at its Aphelion position that takes place in the month of July.

Hence, the correct answers are given above.

The two isotopes of chlorine are LaTeX: \begin{matrix}35\\17\end{matrix}Cl35 17 C l and LaTeX: \begin{matrix}37\\17\end{matrix}C

Kay [80]

Answer: The percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.

Explanation:

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$ .....(1)

Let the fractional abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope will be '1 - x'

For $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 35 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = x

For $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 37 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 1 - x

Average atomic mass of chlorine = 35.45 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$35.45=[(35\times x)+(37\times (1-x))]\\\\x=0.775$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $0.775\times 100=77.5\%$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $(1-0.775)=0.225\times 100=22.5\%$

Hence, the percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.

If you burn 23.4 g of hydrogen and produce 209 g of water, how much oxygen reacted?

Kitty [74]

The chemical reaction is expressed as:

2H2 + O2 = 2H2O

To determine the amount of oxygen used in the reaction, we use the amount of water produced and the relation of the substances in the reaction we do as follows:

209 g H2O ( 1 mol / 18.02 g ) ( 1 mol O2 / 2 mol H2O ) ( 32 g / 1 mol ) = 185.57 g O2
