<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The windward side</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

There are two sides of the mountain i.e windward side and leeward side. The windward side is that side of a mountain subject to the prevailing wind, and is thus the wetter side. When air reaches the mountain, it rises because the mountains are in the way. As the air rises, it cools, and because cool air can carry less moisture than warm air, there is usually snow or rainfall. So windward side cause rain or snow.

Answer: The correct answer is windward sides.

Explanation:

Sides of mountain:

Windward side: Area or side where high rainfall occurs. Wind prevailing loose their moisture on this side which leads to high rainfall on this side.
Leeward side : Area or side where low rainfall occurs.

Rain shadow is the dry area on the leeward sides of the mountainous area. As windward side blocks the moisture which prevents the rainfall on the Leeward sides.This effect is known as Rain shadow effect.

What is the number of grams of an element that is numerically equal to the atomic mass in amu?

bagirrra123 [75]

The wording of your question doesn't quite make sense, but a mole of an element has the same mass in grams as a single atom of that element has in amu. The mole is defined as 6.02 x10^22 things, whether they be atoms or molecules or even moles! 6.02x10^22 atoms of carbon has a mass of 12.01 g, and a single atom of carbon has a mass of 12.01 amu. Hope this helps!

Molecular polarity has a direct effect on the behavior of molecular compounds. The attractive forces between polar molecules are

Blababa [14]

Answer:

Stronger

Greater

Higher

Explanation:

Molecules are held together by intermolecular forces. These are forces that act between molecules in a particular state matter. Intermolecular forces depend on the nature of the molecule.

For polar molecules, the intermolecular forces are stronger thus it takes more energy to separate them leading to a higher boiling point of polar molecules irrespective of their molecular mass.

A 0.708 g sample of a metal, M, reacts completely with sulfuric acid according to the reaction M ( s ) + H 2 SO 4 ( aq ) ⟶ MSO 4

ollegr [7]

Answer:

The metal has a molar mass of 65.37 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the metal = 0.708 grams

Volume of hydrogen = 275 mL = 0.275 L

Atmospheric pressure = 1.0079 bar = 0.9947 atm

Temperature = 25°C

Vapor pressure of water at 25 °C = 0.03167 bar = 0.03126 atm

Step 2: The balanced equation

M(s) + H2SO4(aq) ⟶ MSO4 (aq) + H2(g)

Step 3: Calculate pH2

Atmospheric pressure = vapor pressure of water + pressure of H2

0.9947 atm = 0.03126 atm + pressure of H2

Pressure of H2 = 0.9947 - 0.03126

Pressure of H2 = 0.96344 atm

Step 4: Calculate moles of H2

p*V=n*R*T

⇒ with p = The pressure of H2 = 0.96344 atm

⇒ with V = the volume of H2 = 0.275 L

⇒ with n = the number of moles H2 = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ with T = the temperature = 25°C = 298 Kelvin

n = (p*V)/(R*T)

n = (0.96344 * 0.275)/(0.08206*298)

n = 0.01083 moles

Step 5: Calculate moles of M

For 1 mole of H2 produced, we need 1 mole M

For 0.0108 moles of H2 we need 0.01083 moles of M

Step 6: Calculate molar mass of M

Molar mass M = Mass M / moles M

Molar mass M = 0.708 grams / 0.01083 moles

Molar mass M = 65.37 g/mol

The metal has a molar mass of 65.37 g/mol
