It can be observed that there are lesser gas molecules in higher altitudes than in the lower ones because the gas molecules are also somehow pulled down by gravity. When there are fewer gas molecules, the pressure in the atmosphere is lesser compared to that inside of the plastic bag. Thus, there is a tendency for the plastic bag to burst.

How did atomic theory develop and change?
Agata [3.3K]
The atomic theory started with Democritus, who stated that all space was made up of indivisible particles called atoms, though Aristotles refuted that statement by saying that matter didn’t exist, he believed in the four elements: air, fire, water, and earth. Then came Dalton, who revived Democritus’s ideas and proposed the law of multiple proportions, he revived the idea that all space was made of atoms. Soon after, J.J Thompson discovered the electron by using cathode rays. Max Planck developed the quantum theory by stating that electromagnetic radiation could only be emitted in quantized form (later called quanta). Einstein furthered this idea with studies of light. Robert Millikan eventually measured the charge of a single electron. Ernest Rutherford used a gold foil experiment and discovered the nuclei, considering his alpha particles were deflected by some object. Niels Bohr made the atomic model with electrons spinning around an atom’s nucleus, Erwin Schrodinger describes how electrons have wave like properties. James Chadwick then discovers the neutron!

Consider the nuclear equation below. 222/66Rn-->218/?Po+4/2He Which is the missing value that will balance the equation? 84 8
erastovalidia [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

84

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The nuclear equation shows the decay of Radon-222 by emitting an alpha particle to form polonium-218.
  • When a radioactive isotope undergoes alpha-decay, the mass number is decreased by 4 while the atomic number decreases by 2.
  • Therefore, the complete nuclear equation is;

²²²₈₆Rn → ²¹⁸₈₄Po + ⁴₂He

  • The atomic number of Radon-222 decreases from 86 to 84 while the mass number decreases from 222 to 218, forming polonium-218.

Calculate each of the following quantities.<br> (a) mass in kilograms of 3.7 x 1020 molecules of NO2
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  0.028 kg of NO2

Explanation:

Data

3.7 x 10²⁰ molecules of NO2 in kg

MW of NO2 = 14 + (16 x 2) = 14 + 32 = 46 kg

                   1 mol of NO2 ---------------------  6.023 x 10 ²³ molecules

                   x                     --------------------- 3.7 x 10²⁰ molecules

                   x = 3.7 x 10²⁰ x 1 / 6.023 x 10 ²³

                   x = 0.00061 mol

         

                 1 mol of NO2 ---------------------  46 kg of NO2

                 0.00061 mol     ------------------    x

                 x = 0.00061 x 46/1

                x = 0.028 kg of NO2

_____ is a measure of the average kinetic energy of a gas. Density Enthalpy Pressure Temperature
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Temperature

Explanation:

  • Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of a gas.
  • Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object because of its motion. As an object absorbs heat the particles move faster so the average kinetic energy and therefore the temperature increases.
  • When the temperature of a body or an object is increased and hence the heat, there is more movement or vibration of particles which translates to more kinetic energy.
