On a cool, rainy day, the barometric pressure is 698 mmHg. Calculate the barometric pressure in centimeters of water (cmH2O). De

Answer:

Barometric pressure is 942.3 cm of column of water.

Explanation:

We can measure barometric pressure by measuring the height h of a column of fluid (this column of fluid exerts the same pressure as the column of air of which we are measuring pressure) using the following formula:

P = \rho*g*h\\

Where ρ is the density of the fluid used and g the acceleration of gravity.

Knowing that both the column of mercury (to match units, we know that 698 mmHg are the same as 69.8 cmHg) and the column of water are representing the same pressure, we can match expressions and find h for the column of water:

\rho_{Hg} *g*h_{Hg} =\rho_{Water} *g*h_{Water}\\ \\h_{Water}=\frac{rho_{Hg} *g*h_{Hg}}{\rho_{Water} *g} = \frac{13.5g/mL *9.8m/s^{2} *69.8cm}{1g/mL *9.8m/s^{2}}=942.3 cmH_{2}O

If more greenhouse gasses were added to the atmosphere, what would happen to Earth's heat budget and the planet's temperature?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Global Warming!

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases help keeping the Earth warm for example; Carbon dioxide, methane etc. But recently there has been too much pollution which produced more greenhouse gases like; carbon dioxide...Usually trees and plants would help in keeping the air clean by eliminating carbon dioxide but as we know trees are being cut down. Which increases the amount of CO2 (chemical formula of Carbon dioxide) and they capture more heat. Which causes the temperature to gradually increase in earth and ice caps to melt in Antarctica, and causes the water levels to rise.

Both of the sulfur-oxygen double bonds in so2 are polar. in which direction should the polarity arrows point?
LiRa [457]

Answer is: the polarity arrows should go from sulfur (S) to the oxygen (O).

The magnitude of the dipole depends on the difference in the electronegativies and has direction from positively charged atom to negatively charged atom.

Oxygen has greater electronegativity than sulfur, because of that oxygen (χ=3.5) is partially negative and sulfur (χ=2.5) is partially positive.

Electronegativity (χ) is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.
