Answer:

Answer below

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure is caused by the gravitational attraction of the planet on the atmospheric gases above the surface, and is a function of the mass of the planet, the radius of the surface, and the amount and composition of the gases and their vertical distribution in the atmosphere.

Answer:

Explanation:

Air pressure is caused by the weight of the air molecules above. Even tiny air molecules have some weight, and the huge numbers of air molecules that make up the layers of our atmosphere collectively have a great deal of weight, which presses down on whatever is below.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Condensation occurs when a gas changes into a liquid.

Explanation:

Condensation is when a gas becomes a liquid. It happens when a gas, like water vapor, cools down. Matter can exist in three different states: solid, liquid or gas.

lianna [129]

Answer:

Diameter He = 0,1 nm.

Explanation:

Km to nm:

⇒ Diameter He = 1.0 E-13 Km * ( 1000 m / Km ) * (  1 E9 nm / m )

⇒ Diameter He = 0.1 nm

What total volume of ozone measured at a pressure of 24.5 mmHg and a temperature of 232 K can be destroyed when all of the chlor
ddd [48]

Answer:

1.75272\ \text{m}^3

Explanation:

The breakdown reaction of ozone is as follows

CF_3Cl + UV \rightarrow CF_3 + Cl

Cl + O_3 \rightarrow ClO + O_2

O_3 + UV \rightarrow O_2 + O

ClO + O \rightarrow Cl + O_2

It can be seen that 2 moles of ozone is required in the complete cycle

So for 10 cycles, 20 moles of ozone is required

m = Mass of CF_3Cl = 15.5 g

M = Molar mass of CF_3Cl = 104.46 g/mol

P = Pressure = 24.5 mmHg

T = Temperature = 232 K

R = Gas constant = 62.363\ \text{L mmHg/K mol}

Number of moles is given by

n=\dfrac{m}{M}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{15.5}{104.46}\\\Rightarrow n=0.1484\ \text{moles}

20\ \text{moles} = 20\times 0.1484 = 2.968\ \text{moles}

From ideal gas law we have

PV=nRT\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{2.968\times 62.363\times 232}{24.5}\\\Rightarrow V=1752.72\ \text{L}=1.75272\ \text{m}^3

For 20 cycles of the reaction the volume of the ozone is 1.75272\ \text{m}^3.
