The troposphere:

H. This layer can have thunderstorms or clear, sunny skies.

A. The biosphere interacts most with this layer.

The stratosphere:

B. It is the second layer from Earth's surface.

G. Winds are strong and steady in this layer.

The mesosphere:

E. It is heated by the ozone layer beneath it.

D. This layer is where most meteor showers occur.

The thermosphere :

F. It contains the ionosphere and exosphere.

C. It contains layers of single, unmixed gas.

Explanation:

Depending on the Earth's temperature the atmosphere can be separated into layers. The troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere and the thermosphere are those layers. The lowest layer is named as Troposphere (0-10 km from the Earth outer surface), it comprises about 75% of the atmosphere's total air and nearly most the water vapor.

Stratosphere (10-30) includes much of the surface ozone. The change in height temperature arises as this ozone absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. The temperature in Mesosphere (30-50 Km) declines again with height, hitting a minimum of about -90 ° C at the "mesopause." Above this thermosphere (50-400 Km) is settled which is a area where temperatures rise with height once again. The penetration of intense UV and X-ray radiation from the sun induces this temperature rise.

Luke and Sian want to plant a vegetable garden in their yard. A soil testing kit measures the soil pH at 5.0, but the lettuce th

dexar [7]

Answer:

So, Luke and Sian has to increase the pH of the soil by adding base to it.

Explanation:

The pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration in their aqueous solution.

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

With increase in hydrogen ion concentration the pH value decreases.
With decrease in hydrogen ion concentration the pH value increases.

The pH of the soil after testing it on a kit comes out be 5.0, but they both need pH of the soil to 6.5.

Comparison of pH of soil:

= 5.0 < 6.5

= High hydrogen ion concentration > High hydrogen ion concentration

So, Luke and Sian has to increase the pH of the soil by adding base .Doing so will decrease the hydrogen ion concentration in the soil (where as addition of acid lower the pH of soil).

Viefleur [7K]

A vessel that contains a mixture of nitrogen and butane has a pressure of 3.0 atm at 126.9 °C and a pressure of 1.0 atm at 0 °C. The mole fraction of nitrogen in the mixture is 0.33.

A vessel contains a gaseous mixture of nitrogen and butane. At 126.9 °C (400.1 K) the pressure is due to the mixture is 3.0 atm.

We can calculate the total number of moles using the ideal gas equation.

$P \times V = n \times R \times T\\\\n = \frac{P \times V}{R \times T} = \frac{3.0 atm \times V}{0.082 atm.L/mol.K \times 400.1 K} = 0.091 mol/L \times V$

At 0 °C (273.15 K), the pressure due to the gaseous nitrogen is 1.0 atm.

We can calculate the moles of nitrogen using the ideal gas equation.

$P \times V = n \times R \times T\\\\n = \frac{P \times V}{R \times T} = \frac{1.0 atm \times V}{0.082 atm.L/mol.K \times 400.1 K} = 0.030 mol/L \times V$
