Answers are:

2. It pushes on all objects that are on Earth’s surface.

3. It can be measured in atmospheres or kilopascals.

Barometric pressure (atmospheric pressure), is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth

Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing height, because there are fewer air molecules above a given object.

Barometer is an instrument used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.

Atmospheric pressure (atm) is the force per unit area by the weight of air above that point.

Kilopascal (kPa) is a metric system pressure unit and equals to 1000 force of newton per square meter.

Atmospheric pressure results from molecular collisions of atmospheric gases.

<span>The ideal gas law. PV=nRT pressure x volume = moles x Faraday's constant x Temp Kelvin (C+273) Original data Pressure 1 atmosphere Volume 1 liter Temp 25C = 298K New data Volume 0.5 liter pressure X Temp 260C = 533K P1v1T1 = P2v2T2 plug and chug. (1)(1)(293) = (x)(0.5)(533) Solve for X, which is the new pressure. </span>

Marizza181 [45]

This is a incomplete question. The complete question is:

It takes 348 kJ/mol to break a carbon-carbon single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon. Round your answer to correct number of significant digits

Answer: 344 nm

Explanation:

$E=\frac{Nhc}{\lambda}$

E= energy = 348kJ= 348000 J (1kJ=1000J)

N = avogadro's number = $6.023\times 10^{23}$

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js
$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8ms^{-1}$

$348000=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{348000}$

$\lambda=3.44\times 10^{-7}m=344nm$ $1nm=10^{-9}m$

Thus the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 344 nm

I WILL MARK YOU BRAINLIST PLEASE HELP

tekilochka [14]

Answer: See below

Explanation: a. The mass of an element is composed of:

protons: 1 amu each

neutrons: 1 amu each

electrons: 0 amu each

Only the protons and neutrons are counted in the atomic mass of an element

b. Electrons are assigned a mass of 0. They do have a mass, but it is exceedingly small compared to the protons and neutrons, so they are left out of the calculation of an element's mass.

c. An element becomes unstable if the neutrons exceed the protons by a certain ratio, dependent on the element.
