I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The statement that is true about the atmospheric pressure near Earth’s surface would be that it decreases as you move away from Earth’s surface. P<span>ressure decreases with increasing altitude. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Answer : Option B) It decreases as someone moves away from earth's surface.

Explanation : The atmospheric pressure at the surface of the earth is at maximum, it is seen that as we move away from the surface of the earth the pressure decreases. As on the top of mountains the atmospheric pressure is found to be low as compared to the surface of the earth.

It is assumed that the atmospheric pressure is caused due to hydrostatic measurements where the changes caused by weight of air are measured.

Also, it is observed that when there is an  elevation, the atmospheric pressure decreases.

The concentration of species in 500 mL of a 2.104 M solution of sodium sulfate is ________ M sodium ion and ________ M sulfate i
omeli [17]

Answer:

The concentration of species in 500 mL of a 2.104 M solution of sodium sulfate is 4.208 M sodium ion and 2.104 M sulfate ion.  (option E)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume = 500 mL = 0.500 L

The concentration sodium sulfate = 2.104 M

Step 2: The equation

Na2SO4 → 2Na+ + SO4^2-

For 1 mol Na2SO4 we have 2 moles sodium ion (Na+) and 1 mol sulfate ion (SO4^2-)

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of the ions

[Na+] = 2*2.104 M = 4.208 M

[SO4^2-] = 1*2.104 M = 2.104 M

The concentration of species in 500 mL of a 2.104 M solution of sodium sulfate is 4.208 M sodium ion and 2.104 M sulfate ion.  (option E)

Covert 1.57 x 10^14 nm= ___m
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

1.57 x 10⁷m

Explanation:

Given quantity is;

          1.57 x 10¹⁴nm

Now;

            1 nm  = 10⁻⁹

So, let us convert this given quantity;

         1 nm          =             10⁻⁹

  1.57 x 10¹⁴nm  will give 1.57 x 10¹⁴ x 10⁻⁹  = 1.57 x 10⁷m

Astatine-210 has a half-life of 8.08 days. What fraction of a sample of astatine-210 is left unchanged after 16.16 days?
Flauer [41]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Half-life  = 8.08days

Unknown:

What fraction is left unchanged after 16.16days = ?

Solution:

The half - life of a substance is the time taken for the half of a radioactive material to decay to half.

 

  Day 0           Day 8.08         Day 16.16

   100%                 50%                 0%        Parent

    0%                     50%                100%     Daughter

After 16.16 days, non of the original sample will remain unchanged.

A student was trying to obtain lithium by electrolysis of aqueous lithium chloride. Was he successful?
Wittaler [7]

The student was not successful.

Consider the standard reduction potentials.

Li⁺ + e⁻ ⇌ Li;                       E° = -3.04 V

2H₂O + 2e⁻ ⇌ H₂ + 2OH⁻; E° = -0.83 V

To reduce Li⁺ to Li, the student must apply 3.04 V.

However, it takes only 0.83 V to reduce water to hydrogen.

Thus, the student will get H₂ instead of Li.
