Explanation :

Ozone layer : It is a layer which is present in the stratosphere region. Ozone layer is the layer which absorbs more amount of the ultraviolet rays which is the more harmful rays for us. That means ozone layer protect us from the harmful rays (UV rays). Ultraviolet rays causes the skin cancer. When the ultraviolet rays reaches directly to the earth, it cause many type of diseases.

When the hole in the ozone layer then it can lead to increases in skin cancer.

Hello!

According to the Charles' Law, the volume of a gas is proportional to temperature when pressure is constant. When going from New York to Florida, if the pressure is left constant the volume of the tires will increase.

The final volume of the tires can be calculated from the following equation, derived from Charles' Law:

$V2= \frac{V1}{T1}*T2=\frac{10 L}{10degC}*32degC=32 L$

Have a nice day!

Which of the two substances would have a higher melting point: O2 or quartz (SiO2)n? Explain your answer.

sesenic [268]

Answer:

quartz (SiO2)n

Explanation:

Melting point is defined as the temperature or point at which the substances change its state from solid to liquid.

Quartz (SiO2)n has high melting point than O2 because Quartz (SiO2)n is found in the form of hard, crystalline mineral that is made up of silicon and oxygen atoms having strong covalent bonds between all the atoms. So, a lot of energy is required to break the bond between the atoms and it has a high melting point.

Hence, the correct answer is quartz (SiO2)n.

Tasya [4]

It will change position.

For example, you are pushing a water bottle. The push is a force that is imbalance because there is no other force pushing the water back. So if you push the water bottle, it will move. When it moves, it is also call, "Changing position" because its location changed.
