Chemical energy is the kind of energy stored in the bonds formed by atoms and molecules in chemical compounds and elements. This energy is released during a chemical reaction and heat is often given out in the process. These kind of reactions where heat is given out as a by product are called exothermic reactions.
The major factor that determines how much chemical energy a substance has is the mass of that substance. Mass is defined as the amount of matter in a substance.
The higher the mass of a substance, the more concentrated that substance is and subsequently the greater the number of atoms and molecules.
Logically, the higher the number of atoms and molecules then the greater the number of bonds in that substance and subsequently the more the amount of chemical energy stored therein.
Answer:
B. temperature decreases as altitude increases.
Explanation:
Just like in the lower reaches of the atmosphere, the troposphere, in the mesosphere, temperature decreases as altitude increases.
The mesosphere is the third layer of the atmosphere just above the stratosphere.
- It begins at the top of the stratosphere and ends at the mesopause where the thermosphere begins.
- The mesosphere is often referred to as the middle layer.
With increasing height, the temperature of the mesosphere decreases significantly. The top of the mesosphere is one of the coldest part of the earth atmosphere. This is as a result of increasing atmospheric cooling by carbon dioxide in this region of the atmosphere.
Answer:
Bi (Bismuth)
Ag (Silver)
Li (Lithium)
Explanation:
Xe (Xenon) and I (Iodine) are non-metals. They cannot from a metallic bond because metallic bonds are bonds between metals only.
Answer:
Partial pressure SO₂ → 0.440 atm
Explanation:
We apply the mole fraction concept to solve this:
Moles of gas / Total moles = Partial pressure of the gas / Total pressure
Total moles = 0.3 moles of CO₂ + 0.2706 moles of SO₂ + 0.35 moles H₂O
Total moles = 0.9206 moles
Mole fraction SO₂ = 0.2706 moles / 0.9206 moles → 0.29
Now, we can know the partial pressure:
0.29 = Partial pressure SO₂ / Total pressure
0.29 = Partial pressure SO₂ / 1.5 atm
0.29 . 1.5atm = Partial pressure SO₂ → 0.440 atm
