Answer : The correct option is, (c) 79.62

Explanation :

The formula used for percent humidity is:

\text{Percent humidity}=\text{Relative humidity}\times \frac{p-p^o_v}{p-p_v}\times 100   ..........(1)

The formula used for relative humidity is:

\text{Relative humidity}=\frac{p_v}{p^o_v}       ...........(2)

where,

p_v = partial pressure of water vapor

p^o_v = vapor pressure of water

p = total pressure

First we have to calculate the partial pressure of water vapor by using equation 2.

Given:

p=750mmHg

p^o_v=17.5mmHg

Relative humidity = 80 % = 0.80

Now put all the given values in equation 2, we get:

0.80=\frac{p_v}{17.5mmHg}

p_v=14mmHg

Now we have to calculate the percent humidity by using equation 1.

\text{Percent humidity}=0.80\times \frac{750-17.5}{750-14}\times 100

\text{Percent humidity}=79.62\%

Therefore, the percent humidity is 79.62 %

Q1: Erosion and weathering are often confused. How is erosion different from weathering? Give an example of each.
stepan [7]

Explanation:

1.

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils whereas erosion is the movement of weathered materials from one area to the other.

Erosion moves weathered materials and it causes them to change position. For example loose chips of rocks broken down as the rock weakens through alternate wetting and drying in tropical regions will remain in-situ until the agents of erosion comes to carry them away. The breaking is weathering and the carrying is erosion.

2.

Examples of mechanical weathering:

  •   Frost action
  •   Pressure release

Examples of chemical weathering:

  • Oxidation
  • Carbonation

There are two types of weathering:

  • In mechanical weathering, a rock disintegrates into smaller chunks by the action of wind, water and glacier. For example in temperate and polar regions, water within rocks freezes. When water freezes it expands and causes tension within the rock. When temperature drops, water melts and the tension is relieved. This process causes a rock to crack. The crack will eventually become wider with time.
  • In chemical weathering, a rock decomposes by the action of chemicals formed in the rock. In karst regions where limestone forms, combination of rain water and carbon dioxide forms weak carbonic acid that reacts with calcite in limestone.

Which of the following statements best describes why carbon can form a variety of organic compounds? Carbon atoms bond readily w
olga_2 [115]
Answer:
            <span>Carbon readily forms covalent bonds with other carbon atoms.

Explanation:
                   As we know approximately more than 95 % compounds, either isolated, discovered or synthesized belongs to organic compounds containing carbon atoms.
                  This great diversity of organic compounds is due to following facts.

1) Catenation:
                      Carbon has a peculiar behavior of self linkage. This self linkage of one carbon with another is called as catenation. In this way carbon can form a long chain of carbon atom. A branching can also take place when one carbon is bonded further to three of four carbon atoms.

2) Isomerism:
                     Secondly the carbon containing compounds show isomerism. In which molecular formula is same but structural formula is different. For example molecular formula C</span>₅H₁₂ can make following compounds,

                                a)  n-Pentane

                                b)  2-Methylbutane

                                c)  2,2-Dimethylpropane

3) Multiple Bonds:
                            Carbon can form multiple bonds i.e double bond like in alkenes and triple bonds like in alkyne. 

Due to these factors carbon gets very high number of opportunities to form large number of compounds.

when you started the activity, the can was open to the air outside tge can. how did the air pressure inside the can compare to t
aliya0001 [1]

The air pressure inside the can is lower compared to that of outside air pressure.

Explanation:

  • In general, the air pressure of an already opened can will be the same as the outside pressure.
  • Since the can is evacuated and remain as vacuum, so there will be no pressure difference in it.
  • If the can opens, air inside the can push the top and escapes to the outside.
  • This is due to high pressure experienced outside the can compare to that of lower pressure inside the can and this may even cause can to collapse itself.
