If the bonds are held together tightly, as an ionic bond or even a covalent bond, there will need to be a strong force to separate those bonds. This would by why their would be a high melting point. Another reason would be re-activity. <span />

How would you explain the Earth’s atmosphere?
CaHeK987 [17]
<span>The atmosphere is a thin layer of gases that surrounds the Earth. It seals the planet and protects us from the vacuum of space. It protects us from electromagnetic radiation given off by the Sun and small objects flying through space such as meteoroids.</span><span>

So it's like a blanket protecting us but it has air hole/patches where sunlight can get through</span>

Which biomes would be found nearest to the equator?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

tropical rain forests and savannas

Explanation:

Tropical rainforests are found near the equator due to the amount of rainfall and the amount of sunshine these areas receive. ...

savannas-Because of their warm climate requirements, savannas tend to be found closer to the equator, which marks the halfway point between the north and south hemispheres of the earth. Because this area gets direct sunlight more of the year than the north and south extremes, the temperature doesn't change much.

patriot [66]

<u>Answer:</u>

Law used: Combined Gas Law

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given the following problem:

Carbon dioxide is in a steel tank at 20°C, 10 liters and 1 atm. What is the pressure on the gas when the tank is heated to 100°C?

To solve this, the most appropriate law that can be used it Combined Gas Law, which is the result of combining the Boyle's law, Charles' law, and Gay-Lussac's law together.

Nitrogen dioxide is a red-brown gas responsible for the brown color of smog. A container of nitrogen dioxide that is at low pres
____ [38]

Answer:

Initially 1.51\times 10^{-2} moles of nitrogen dioxide were in the container .

Explanation:

Volume of the container at low pressure and at room temperature =V_1=3.4 L

Number of moles in the container = n_1

After more addition of nitrogen gas at the same pressure and temperature.

Volume of the container after addition = V_2=5.11 L

Number of moles in the container after addition=n_2=2.28\times 10^{-2} mol

Applying Avogadro's law:

\frac{Volume}{Moles}=constant (at constant pressure and temperature)

\frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2}

n_1=\frac{V_1\times n_2}{V_2}=\frac{3.4 L\times 2.28\times 10^{-2} mol}{5.11 L}

n_1=1.51\times 10^{-2} mol

Initially 1.51\times 10^{-2} moles of nitrogen dioxide were in the container .
