Match the statements with the atmospheric layer they describe.

vekshin1

The correct matches are:

1. Exosphere - Temperatures reach as high as 2000 C yet it feels very cold

This is the top layer of the atmosphere. The atoms are so dispersed that despite it having very high temperature it doesn't feel like it at all.

2. Thermosphere - Particles that have enough energy can escape into space

The thermosphere is the fourth highest layer of the atmosphere. The atoms in this layer are relatively distant from one another, so the particles that have enough energy manage to escape easily into the exosphere and then the space.

3. Mesosphere - It is the coldest region of the atmosphere

The mesosphere is the third highest layer. In this layer the temperatures constantly drop, and they go down to -85 degrees, making it the coldest layer by far.

4. Stratosphere - Ninety percent ozone is in this layer

The startosphere has a separte zone in it which is dominated by only one gas, the ozone. It is called the ozone layer, the one that protects the Earth from too intense UV radiation, and in fact over 90% of this gas is locate here.

5. Troposphere - It is warm due to the heat from Earth's surface

The troposphere is the densest and lowest of the layers. It is the one that also has Greenhouse gases which manage to trap the heat that is radiated from the surface of the Earth, thus keeping this layer relatively warm.

Which is regarding enzyme inhbition

lys-0071 [83]

Explanation:

An enzyme inhibitor is a molecule that binds to an enzyme and decreases its activity. ... Since blocking an enzyme's activity can kill a pathogen or correct a metabolic imbalance, many drugs are enzyme inhibitors. They are also used in pesticides.

Dissolving brass requires an oxidizing acid such as concentrated nitric acid. Nitrogen dioxide is produced as a byproduct in thi

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Cu + 4 HNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 NO₂ + 2 H₂O

Explanation:

Step 1: Write down the chemical formulas of given substances,

Copper Metal = Cu

Nitric Acid = HNO₃

Copper (II) Nitrate = Cu(NO₃)₂

Nitrogen Dioxide = NO₂

Water = H₂O

Step 2: Write down the unbalance Chemical equation,

Cu + HNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + NO₂ + H₂O

Step 3: Balance Cu atoms on both sides;

The number of Cu atoms on both sides are same. Hence, there number will remain the same.

Step 4: Balance N atoms on both sides;

As there is 1 N atom on left hand side and 3 N atoms on right hand side, so we will multiply HNO₃ by 3 to balance N on both sides, hence,

Cu + 3 HNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + NO₂ + H₂O

Step 5: Balance O atoms on both sides;

As there are 9 O atom on left hand side and 9 O atoms on right hand side, so they are balance.

Step 6: Balance H atoms on both sides;

As there are 3 H atom on left hand side and 2 H atoms on right hand side, so we will multiply H₂O by 2 as,

Cu + 3 HNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + NO₂ + 2 H₂O

By doing so the number of O atoms got imbalanced, so to balance O atoms again we will multiply HNO₃ by 4 as,

Cu + 4 HNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + NO₂ + 2 H₂O

Now, The Cu and H atoms are balanced, and the O atoms are greater on left hand side and the N atoms are greater on right hand side, therefore we will multiply NO₂ by 2 to balance both N and O as,

Cu + 4 HNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 NO₂ + 2 H₂O

What is the mass of 8.23 x 10^23 atoms of Ag

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf Approximately \ 147 \ g\ Ag}}$

Explanation:

Convert Atoms to Moles

The first step is to convert atoms to moles. 1 mole of every substance has the same number of particles: 6.022 ×10²³ or Avogadro's Number. The type of particle can be different, in this case it is atoms of silver. Let's create a ratio using this information.

$\frac{6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ Ag}{1 \ mol \ Ag}$

We are trying to find the mass of 8.23 ×10²³ silver atoms, so we multiply by that number.

$8.23 *10^{23} \ atoms \ Ag *\frac{6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ Ag}{1 \ mol \ Ag}$

Flip the ratio so the atoms of silver cancel. The ratio is equivalent, but places the other value with units "atoms Ag" in the denominator.

$8.23 *10^{23} \ atoms \ Ag *\frac{1 \ mol \ Ag}{6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ Ag}$

$8.23 *10^{23} *\frac{1 \ mol \ Ag}{6.022*10^{23} }$

Condense into one fraction.

$\frac{8.23 *10^{23} }{6.022*10^{23} } \ mol \ Ag$

$1.366655596 \ mol \ Ag$

Convert Moles to Grams

The next step is to convert the moles to grams. This uses the molar mass, which is equivalent to the atomic mass on the Periodic Table, but the units are grams per mole.
