How is atmospheric pressure created​

Chemistry
2 answers:
Contact [7]3 years ago
7 0

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.

What mass of sodium chloride contains 4.59 x 10 24 formula units?
shtirl [24]
The term formula units means molecules.

Then, what you are looking for is the mass in 4.59*10^24  molecules.

The procedure involves to convert the 4.59 * 10^24 molecules into moles and use the molar mass of the sodium chloride.

1) Number of moles = 4.59 * 10^24 molecules / (6.02 * 10^23 molecules/mol) = 7.62 mol

2) Molar mass of NaCl = 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 58.44 g/mol

3) mass of NaCl = molar mass *  number of moles = 58.44 g/mol * 7.62 mol = 445.31 g of NaCl

Answer: 445.31 g of NaCl.

the pH of a solution is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Water has a pH of 7 and, in general, acids have a
Sliva [168]

Answer:

7.1

Explanation:

equation to calculate pH is

pH=-Log_{10}(a_{H^+})=-Log_{10}(8*10^-8) = -Log_{10}(8)-Log_{10}(10^{-8})=-0.9+8=7.1

If 13.0 g of MgSO4⋅7H2O is thoroughly heated, what mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate will remain?
Paul [167]

6.349 g mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate will remain.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

A mole is defined as 6.02214076 × 1023 of some chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a convenient unit to use because of the great number of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.

Molar mass MgSO₄.7 H₂O = 246.52 g/mol

Moles =\frac{mass}{molar \;mass}

Moles =\frac{13.0 g}{246.52}

0.0527 moles

Molar mass MgSO₄ = 120.4 g/mol

Mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate :

( 0.0527 x 120.4 ) => 6.349 g

What is the chemical formula for sodium sulfate?
yan [13]

Hello!

When finding the chemical formula of a compound, we will need to find the charges of each element/bond.

Looking at our period table, sodium has a +1 charge, written as Na 1+, and sulfate has a charge of -2, and it is written as SO4 2-.

Now, we need to make the charges equivalent. To do this, we need to "criss-cross" the charges. This means that sodium will need to additional atoms to make the charges equal, and sulfate will need one.

Therefore, the chemical formula for sodium sulfate is: Na2SO4.

Why do farmers spray water over their crops before a frost?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

When water freezes and turns into ice, it releases latent heat. Then, the ice that builds up on the plant will insulate it from the colder surrounding air temperatures. Because of this, some growers choose to spray their crop with water before the freeze occurs.
