In the so called rain shadow effect we have interaction between all of the four major Earth spheres. When we have a coastal region where there's a high mountain range, the part of the mountain that is facing the sea will differ a lot from the part of the mountain that is on the other side. The water from the sea evaporates. The water vapor makes the air wet. The warm and wet air masses from the sea will come to the coastline, once they reach the mountain they will start to accumulate as they can not pass through it. As they accumulate rainfall appears. The rainfall contributes to a lush vegetation on this side of the mountain (windward side). The rain shadow effect appears on the leeward side of the mountain, and it mostly gets dry, strong, downward winds. These conditions result in drier climate, much less vegetation, and much increased erosion. Thus we can easily see that we have in this case interaction between the hydrosphere (the sea and the rainfall), the geosphere (the ground, soil, rocks), biosphere (the vegetation), and atmosphere (the winds, the clouds).
What did Dalton's atomic theory contribute to science?
Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass.
Given the percentage composition of HC as C → 81.82 % and H → 18.18 %
So the ratio of number if atoms of C and H in its molecule can will be:
C : H = 81.82 12 : 18.18 1 C : H = 6.82 : 18.18 = 6.82 6.82 : 18.18 6.82 = 1 : 2.66 ≈ 3 : 8
So the Empirical Formula of hydrocarbon is:
C 3 H 8
As the mass of one litre of hydrocarbon is same as that of C O 2 The molar mass of the HC will be same as that of C O 2 i.e 44 g mol
Now let Molecular formula of the HC be ( C 3 H 8 ) n
Using molar mass of C and H the molar mass of the HC from its molecular formula is:
( 3 × 12 + 8 × 1 ) n = 44 n So 44 n = 44 ⇒ n = 1
Hence the molecular formula of HC is C 3 H 8
Does that help?
