Answer:
Generally, a solute dissolves faster in a warmer solvent than it does in a cooler solvent because particles have more energy of movement. For example, if you add the same amount of sugar to a cup of hot tea and a cup of iced tea, the sugar will dissolve faster in the hot tea.
Answer:
The number of particles in state E0 over the number of particles in state E1 will reduce
Explanation:
E0 represents the ground level state when all the particles have same energy level.
E1 represents excited state in which only a few particle reaches
E0 and E1 get further apart means that the energy difference between the two level increases.
Thus, the number of particles in state E0 over the number of particles in state E1 will reduce.
Answer:
The era of planet formation ended when the remaining hydrogen and helium gas of the solar nebula was swept into interstellar space by the solar winds.
Explanation:
The Solar System is formed from a molecular cloud (compound by gas and dust). If there is a near perturbation to the cloud, maybe due to a supernova explosion, the molecular cloud will collapse under its own gravity. Then, in some point it starts to rotate and will accrete all the material in a disk around the protostar¹.
Inside the disk, dust particles start to collide and accrete until they form planetesimals². As a consequence of the gravitational force of the star, rocky and metallic particles will be more attracted to the inner part of the Solar System (close to the Sun) since they have more mass than gas.
Then, when the star has the necessary pressure and temperature to initiate nuclear reactions in its core, it will be able to emit huge amounts of energy, better known as solar winds. These winds will expel gas (hydrogen and helium) from the Solar System more easily than the rocky and metallic particles.
Notice that when such event occurs, rocky and gaseous planets were already formed.
Key terms:
¹Protostar: A young star.
²Planetesimals: Object formed by many fragments due to the gravitational attraction between them.
Potential Energy = mass x gravitational acceleration x height
potential Energy = 1 x 9.8 x 10 = 98 joules
Answer:
Mirages happen when the ground is very hot and the air is cool.
Explanation:
They happen when light passes through two layers of air with different temperatures. The desert sun heats the sand, which in turn heats the air just above it. The hot air bends light rays and reflects the sky.
When you see it from a distance, the different air masses colliding with each other act as a mirror.
