Water can consist of hot, cold, or both to form a cloud.

With hot water, clouds will form when hot water evaporates then cools when it rises into the air. After, the warm air will expand into the atmosphere. Finally, the warm air will create water vapor that will form water droplets and create the basis of a cloud.
The temperature is very low if the water is cold. When it's cold outside, it results in a lower humidity which evaporates the water faster then it would in warm weather since the humidity would be higher. Water droplets in clouds start to form into bits of ice that fall to the earth because of the mass the ice bit has.

Best of Luck!

A 20.0 g piece of a metal is heated and place into a calorimeter containing 250.0 g of water initially at 25.0 oC. The final tem

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

$Q_{metal} = -6799\,J$

Explanation:

By the First Law of Thermodynamics, the piece of metal and water reaches thermal equilibrium when water receives heat from the piece of metal. Then:

$Q_{metal} = - Q_{w}$

$Q_{metal} = m_{w} \cdot c_{p,w}\cdot (T_{1}-T_{2})$

$Q_{metal} = (250\,g)\cdot \left(4.184\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} \right)\cdot (25\,^{\textdegree}C - 31.5\,^{\textdegree}C)$

$Q_{metal} = -6799\,J$

You have 4 moles of oxygen gas in a flask. 4 moles of helium gas is added. What happens to the total pressure of the gases in th

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer: The correct option is (c). The total pressure doubles.

Solution:

Initially, only 4 moles of oxygen gas were present in the flask.

$p_{O_2}=Tp_1\times X_{O_2}$ ( $X_{O_2}=\frac{4}{4}$ ) ( according to Dalton's law of partial pressure)

$p_{O_2}=Tp_1\times 1=Tp_1$ ....(1)

$Tp_1$ = Total pressure when only oxygen gas was present.

Final total pressure when 4 moles of helium gas were added:

$X'_{O_2}=\frac{4}{8}=\farc{1}{2},X_{He}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}$

partial pressure of oxygen in the mixture :

Since, the number of moles of oxygen remains the same, the partial pressure of oxygen will also remain the same in the mixture.

$p_{O_2}=Tp_2\times X'_{O_2}=Tp_2\times \frac{1}{2}$

$Tp_2$ = Total pressure of the mixture.

from (1)

$Tp_1=Tp_2\times X'_{O_2}=Tp_2\times \frac{1}{2}$

On rearranging, we get:

$Tp_2=2\times Tp_1$

The new total pressure will be twice of initial total pressure.

Stacy reads that a 50:50 mixture of methanol and water is best for keeping a car’s radiator from freezing when the temperature g

salantis [7]

1. The hypothesis for this is experiment is that the 50:50 of methanol-water mixture will not turn to solid when the temperature reaches to -40°C.

2. The procedure for this is measuring equal volumes of water and methanol using the graduated cylinder. You can measure 100 mL of water and 100 mL of methanol using the graduated cylinder. Then, mix them in the beaker. Next, measure 200 mL of water, and another 200 mL of methanol. Don't mix them. Also, make a 60:40 mixture by measuring 120 mL of water and 80 mL of methanol, then mix them together. Place them all in the refrigerator at the same time. Record the time when they would freeze to solid.

3. The controls for this experiment are the 200 mL water alone, and the 200 mL methanol alone.

4. The independent variable in here is the time, while the dependent variable is the temperature of the mixtures.

5. If the hypothesis turns out to be true, then all the mixtures prepared should freeze and become solid after a certain period of time, with the exception of the 50:50 mixture. The 50:50 mixture should still remain as a liquid even when left overnight.

Thorium-234 has a half-life of 24.1 days. How many grams of a 150 g sample would you have after 120.5 days?

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

8.625 grams of a 150 g sample of Thorium-234 would be left after 120.5 days

Explanation:

The nuclear half life represents the time taken for the initial amount of sample to reduce into half of its mass.

We have given that the half life of thorium-234 is 24.1 days. Then it takes 24.1 days for a Thorium-234 sample to reduced to half of its initial amount.

Initial amount of Thorium-234 available as per the question is 150 grams

So now we start with 150 grams of Thorium-234

$150 \times \frac{1}{2}=24.1$
