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.

A sample of 17.0 M concentrated H2SO4 stock solution with a volume of 25.0 cm3 was diluted to final concentration of 5.0 M H2SO4
Art [367]

Answer:

60 cm³ of water

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the volume of the diluted solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Concentration of stock solution (C₁) = 17 M

Volume of stock solution (V₁) = 25 cm³

Concentration of diluted solution (C₂) = 5 M

Volume of diluted solution (V₂) =?

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

17 × 25 = 5 × V₂

425 = 5 × V₂

Divide both side by 5

V₂ = 425 / 5

V₂ = 85 cm³

Thus, the volume of the diluted solution is 85 cm³

Finally, we shall determine the volume of water needed to dilute the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of stock solution (V₁) = 25 cm³

Volume of diluted solution (V₂) = 85 cm³

Volume of water =?

Volume of water = V₂ – V₁

Volume of water = 85 – 25

Volume of water = 60 cm³

Therefore, 60 cm³ of water is needed to dilute the solution.

Which combination of reagents used in the indicated order with benzene will give m-nitropropylbenzene? a. 1) CH3CH2CH2Cl/AlCl3,
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

1) HNO3/H2SO4, 2) CH3CH2CH2Cl/AlCl3

Explanation:

Benzene is a stable aromatic compound hence it undergoes substitution rather than addition reaction.

When benzene undergoes substitution reaction, the substituent introduced into the ring determines the position of the incoming electrophile.

If I want to synthesize m-nitropropylbenzene, I will first carry out the nitration of benzene using HNO3/H2SO4 since the -nitro group is a meta director. This is now followed by Friedel Craft's alkykation using CH3CH2CH2Cl/AlCl3.
