Why is atmospheric pressure much lower on the top of a mountain than it is as sea level?

2 answers:

5 0

The atmospheric pressure lowers as you move up the top of a mountain because the air thins the air you go.
So the weight of the air reduces, and the force the air is able to exert reduces and hence the atmospheric pressure reduces as well.

Which form of energy is directly related to the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance?

marshall27 [118]

The form of energy related to measurement of kinetic energy is heat energy. Basically, thermal energy is related to the measurement of molecula kinetics of a substance. It is due to the thermoagitation of the partices of the substances, which keep on moving.

Balance the following reaction in KOH (under basic conditions). What are the coefficients in for C3H8O2 and KMnO4 in the balance

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Coefficient of $C_3H_8O_2=3$

Coefficient of $KMnO_4$ =8

Explanation:

We are given that a reaction in which $C_3H_8O_2$ reacts with $KMnO_4$

We have to find the coefficient of each reactants in balanced reaction

$3C_3H_8O_2(aq)+8KMnO_4(aq)\rightarrow 3C_3H_2O_4K_2(aq)+8MnO_2(aq)+2KOH+8H_2O$

Coefficient is defined the constant value multiplied with a reactant in a reaction.

Coefficient of $C_3H_8O_2$ =3

Coefficient of $KMnO_4=8$

Coefficient of $C_3H_2O_4K_2=3$

Coefficient of $MnO_2=8$

Coefficient of $H_2O=8$

Coefficient of KOH=2

Hence, Coefficient of $C_3H_8O_2=3$ and coefficient of $KMnO_4=8$

How many moles is 22.4 liters of oxygen gas at standard temperature and pressure represent

makkiz [27]

Answer:

So 1 mole

Explanation:

PV = nRT

P = Pressure atm

V = Volume L

n = Moles

R = 0.08206 L·atm·mol−1·K−1.

T = Temperature K

standard temperature = 273K

standard pressure = 1 atm

22.4 liters of oxygen

Ok so we have

V = 22.4

P = 1 atm

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = 22.4/(0.08206 x 273)

n = 22.4/22.40

n = 1 mole

Calculate the molality of a solution that contains 51.2 g of naphthalene, C10H8, in 500 mL of carbon tetrachloride. The density

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer: The molality of naphthalene solution is 0.499 m

Explanation:

Density is defined as the ratio of mass and volume of a substance.

$\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$ ......(1)

Given values:

Volume of carbon tetrachloride = 500 mL

Density of carbon tetrachloride = 1.60 g/mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Mass of carbon tetrachloride}=(1.60g/mL\times 500mL)=800g$

Molality is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per kilogram of solvent. The units of molarity are mol/kg. The formula used to calculate molarity:

$\text{Molality of solution}=\frac{\text{Given mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Mass of solvent (in g)}}$ .....(2)

Given values:

Given mass of naphthalene = 51.2 g

Molar mass of naphthalene = 128.17 g/mol

Mass of solvent = 800 g

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\text{Molality of naphthalene}=\frac{51.2\times 1000}{128.17\times 800}\\\\\text{Molality of naphthalene}=0.499m$

Hence, the molality of naphthalene solution is 0.499 m
