What happens during a hurricane ??

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.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer: (C) Although the average kinetic energy of the colliding substances increases, this has no influence on activation energy.

Explanation:

After increasing the temperature of the reaction , the rate of the chemical reaction increases due to increase in the average kinetic energy of the particles. At increased temperature high proportions of particles can react making the reaction faster.

Answer: The body produce NADPH a reducing equivalents as antioxidants.

Explanation:

During the pentose phosphate pathway reducing equivalents like NADPH is produced which help to prevent oxidative stress. It reduces glutathione via glutathione reductase which converts reactive H2O2 to H2O by glutathione peroxidase.

Chemical reaction

                C₂H₆  +  O₂  ⇒  CO₂  +  H₂O

           Reactants    Elements    Products

                  2            Carbon              1

                  6            Hydrogen         2

                  2            Oxygen             3

Balanced chemical reaction

                2C₂H₆  +  7O₂  ⇒  4CO₂  +  6H₂O

           Reactants    Elements    Products

                  4            Carbon             4

                 12            Hydrogen       12

                 14            Oxygen           14

When the reaction is balanced the coefficient for CO₂ is 4.
