D. This layer is where most meteor showers occur.
<u>The thermosphere :</u>
F. It contains the ionosphere and exosphere.
C. It contains layers of single, unmixed gas.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Depending on the Earth's temperature the atmosphere can be separated into layers. The troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere and the thermosphere are those layers. The lowest layer is named as Troposphere (0-10 km from the Earth outer surface), it comprises about 75% of the atmosphere's total air and nearly most the water vapor.
Stratosphere (10-30) includes much of the surface ozone. The change in height temperature arises as this ozone absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. The temperature in Mesosphere (30-50 Km) declines again with height, hitting a minimum of about -90 ° C at the "mesopause." Above this thermosphere (50-400 Km) is settled which is a area where temperatures rise with height once again. The penetration of intense UV and X-ray radiation from the sun induces this temperature rise.
Answer : The activation energy of the reaction is, 
Solution :
The relation between the rate constant the activation energy is,
![\log \frac{K_2}{K_1}=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times R}\times [\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7BK_2%7D%7BK_1%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7BEa%7D%7B2.303%5Ctimes%20R%7D%5Ctimes%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7BT_1%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7BT_2%7D%5D)
where,
= initial rate constant = 
= final rate constant = 
= initial temperature = 
= final temperature = 
R = gas constant = 8.314 kJ/moleK
Ea = activation energy
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the activation energy.
![\log \frac{8.75\times 10^{-3}L/mole\text{ s}}{4.55\times 10^{-5}L/mole\text{ s}}=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times (8.314kJ/moleK)}\times [\frac{1}{468K}-\frac{1}{531K}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B8.75%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7DL%2Fmole%5Ctext%7B%20s%7D%7D%7B4.55%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-5%7DL%2Fmole%5Ctext%7B%20s%7D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7BEa%7D%7B2.303%5Ctimes%20%288.314kJ%2FmoleK%29%7D%5Ctimes%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B468K%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B531K%7D%5D)
Therefore, the activation energy of the reaction is,
There are 3 significant figures. Significant numbers are the numbers that build up your total number. 1-9 always count, 0 only counts if it’s after another number. For example: 0,901 has 3 significant numbers as does 0,910. 9,10 also has 3. 0,09 has just 1.
We are going to use table salt, NaCl as an example.
(s) = solid, eg the salt you put on your food is a crystalline solid.
(l) = liquid, if you melt salt it take on a liquid form
(g) = gaseous, if you put enough energy in the salt will turn into a gas.
(aq) = aqueous, meaning in water or another solvent. If you put some table salt in water and stir it, it will dissolve, the NaCl molecules dont get destroyed but they dissolve becoming part of the liquid.
