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.

Which is one way to determine whether a reaction was a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction?
Roman55 [17]
Answer: check for a change in total mass during a reaction.

According to the law of conservation of mass during a chemical change the total mass of the products remains equal to the total mass of the reactants: there is not change in the total mass.

During nuclear reactions the mass can change due to the huge release of energy which proceeds from mass change, as per the famous equation ΔE =Δm. c^2.

A particular sample of air is 2.5% water vapor express the concentration of water vapor in parts per million
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

                     25000 ppm

Explanation:

<em>Parts Per Million </em>is defined as the number of parts of a solute per one million parts of a solution.

                  ppm  =  (Weight of Solute / Weight of Solution) × 10⁶   ---(1)

Let us suppose that the air (solution) weights 100 grams, then 2.5 % of water vapors will have following mass,

Mass of Vapors g / 100 g × 100  =  2.5

Or,

Mass of Vapors = 2.5 × 100 / 100

Mass of Vapors  =  2.5 g

Hence, mass of water vapors is 2.5 g.

Now, putting mass of water vapors and air in eq. 1,

                  ppm  =  (2.5 / 100) × 10⁶

                 ppm  =  25000

In two or more complete sentences, explain how to balance the combustion equation: ___C5H12 + ___O2 ⟶ ___CO2 + ___H2O
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

First, place no. 5 in front of the CO2 in order to balance the carbon atoms. Next, place no. 6 in front of H2O to balance the hydrogen atoms. Lastly place no. 8 in front of the O2 so that there are 16 oxygen atoms on both sides of the reaction.

A sealed container with liquid water in the bottom was left standing at a constant temperature until the air above the water sur
Julli [10]

Answer:

Saturation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the statement is accounting for the saturation vapor pressure as it is the pressure of a vapor which is in equilibrium with its liquid, in other words it is the maximum exerted pressure possible by the vapor at a given temperature or just the maximum amount of the vapor, so there is neither no more vapor that could condense nor more liquid that could boil.

Best regards.
