What happens during a hurricane ??

Chemistry

Hurricanes are intense storms that originate in the Tropics. Hurricanes begin life as a small gathering of unorganized storms which gain energy from the heat of the ocean water. If certain conditions in the atmosphere are present, the gathering of individual clouds will begin to organize into a single storm. If the storm continues to feed off the heat supplied by the ocean, the organization of the cloud clusters will intensify and the winds will increase and circulate around a specific center, the eye. As a matter of fact, meteorologists place hurricanes in a category called cyclones. Cyclones are characterized by a circular wind pattern or circulation. Tornadoes, waterspouts, and dust devils are also members of this category.

During a hurricane, the air pressure decreases. This is the most important characteristic of a hurricane. Now do you think you know when Bertha passed? On July 11, near hour 14. It is at this time that the air pressure was at a minimum. Also, the wind speeds increase when a hurricane approaches. At hour 14, the wind speed and wind gust are near their maximum values of 18 meters/second and 24 meters/second, respectively. Keep in mind that Station 41010 was not near the most dangerous and intense area of the hurricane -- the eye wall. If this station were nearer the eye wall, the wind speeds and gusts would have been much higher and the air pressure would have been much lower.

All of the questions here are pertaining to the colligative properties of a solution and the preparation of solutions. Maybe, it would be best if you understand the equations to be used in order to answer these questions.<span>
Freezing point depression or Boiling point elevation:

</span><span>ΔT = -K (m) (i)

</span>ΔT is the change in the freezing point or the boiling point not the freezing point/boiling point. Therefore, it should be added to the original value of the property of the solvent. 
<span>
K is a constant called the molal freezing point depression constant and for the boiling point is the boiling point elevation constant. It is a property of the solvent. 
</span><span>
m is the concentration of the solute in the solvent in terms of molality or kg solute/kg solvent. 
</span><span>
i is the vant hoff factor which will represent the number of ions which the solute dissociates when in solution.</span>

Why does hot water freeze faster than cold water?
weeeeeb [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Temperature dependency is responsible for the process that hot water freeze faster than cold water.</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The effect given above is called Mpemba Effect. According to this idea hot water freezes more quickly as compared to cold water. But until now there is no convincing explanation for this strange phenomenon.  One idea is that hot containers make better thermal contact with a refrigerator and so conduct heat more efficiently because a good conductor is good fro the transfer of heat. Another idea about this effect is that warm water evaporates more quickly and since this is an endothermic process, it cools the water making it freeze more quickly.

Which statement best describes what makes a base weak
PtichkaEL [24]

The statement that describes what makes a base weak is that the base will be unable to dissociate completely in water.

<h3>What is a base?</h3>

A base is any of a class of generally water-soluble compounds, having bitter taste, that turn red litmus blue, and react with acids to form salts.

Bases usually dissociate into hydroxide ions (OH-) when in an aqueous solution.

However, a base is termed weak or strong depending on it's ability to dissociate completely. A weak base does not dissociate completely into hydroxide ions when in an aqueous solution.
