<span>The answer is A. This is because sunlight is composed of various wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. In the visible light spectrum, red light has a higher frequency (lower wavelength) than blue light that has a lower frequency (higher wavelength). Therefore red light has higher energy than blue light hence able to penetrate more into the atmosphere before scattering, compared to blue light. At sunrise and sunset, due to the relative angle  of the sun to the observer, the sun rays have to penetrate a thicker layer to the atmosphere before reaching the observer</span>

At what temperature a gas with volume 175 L at 15 oC and 760mmHg will occupy a volume of 198 L at a pressure 640mmHg?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

To calculate the pressure when temperature and volume has changed, we use the equation given by combined gas law. The equation follows:

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

T

P

V

=

T

P

V

where,

P_1,V_1\text{ and }T_1P

,V

1

and T

1

are the initial pressure, volume and temperature of the gas

P_2,V_2\text{ and }T_2P

2

,V

2

and T

2

are the final pressure, volume and temperature of the gas

We are given:

\begin{gathered}P_1=760mmHg\\V_1=175L\\T_1=15^oC=[15+273]K=288K\\P_2=640mmHg\\V_2=198L\\T_2=?K\end{gathered}

P

=760mmHg

V

=175L

T

=15

o

C=[15+273]K=288K

P

2

=640mmHg

V

2

=198L

T

2

=?K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\begin{gathered}\frac{760mmHg\times 175L}{288K}=\frac{640mmHg\times 198L}{T_2}\\\\T_2=274K\end{gathered}

288K

760mmHg×175L

=

T

2

640mmHg×198L

T

2

=274K

Hence, the temperature when the volume and pressure has changed is 274 K

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

I just did the assignment it's "decreases"

Explanation:

If you guys came from Ed-genuity (i'm writing it like that because apperantly that is a swear word?) That means the next questions are "As you move from left to right across the periodic table, electronegativity..." and "As you move from top to bottom within a group, the first ionization energy...".

for electronegativity, it's increases and for ionization energy it's decreases. Hope this helps!

When comparing differences in an amino acid residue at one position between the different proteins in the multiple alignment, wh
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

To understand the utility in sequence comparison and in the search for proteins that have a common evolutionary origin, you need to be clear about some concepts about how to evolve proteins. The idea that is accepted is that throughout the evolution some species are giving rise to new ones. Behind this is the genetic variation of organisms, that is, the evolution of genomes and their genes, as well as the proteins encoded by them.

Explanation:

Three ways can be distinguished by which genes evolve, and by proteins: mutation, duplication and shuffling of domains. When differences between homologous protein sequences are observed, these differences change to do with the way of life of the organism, an example of this, bacteria that live in hot springs at very high temperatures have proteins with a very high denaturation temperature, and these proteins are usually richer in cysteines. On the other hand, the fact that in positions of the sequences they remain unchanged (preserved positions), means that these have a special importance for the maintenance of the structure or function of the protein and its modification has not been tolerated throughout of evolution

A beaker contains 42.0 mL of carbon tetrachloride ( CCl4 , density is 1.59 g/mL). Determine how many molecules of carbon tetrach
Alex

Answer:

Number of molecules = 2.61  x 10²³

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of tetra-chloride = 42 ml

Density = 1.59 g/ml

Find:

Number of molecules

Computation:

Mass = Volume of tetra-chloride x Density

Mass = 42 x 1.59

Mass = 66.78

Molecular mass of tetra-chloride = 154 g/mol

Moles = 66.78 / 154

Moles = 0.4337

0.4337 mole = 0.4337 x Avogadro number

0.4337 mole = 0.4337 x 6.022 x 10²³

Number of molecules = 2.61  x 10²³
