How does air above a heated surface move?

1 answer:

6 0

<span> When air is warmed up, its molecules move faster and faster and as a result they move further from each other. They still have the same mass, but they now occupy a larger volume. This means that its density is smaller.
The opposite when air is cooled off. The molecules slow down, get closer together, occupy a smaller volume and therefore its density is bigger.

When air is warmed up, it goes up. Once it's up there, is cools off and goes back down. Near the heated surface the air gets warmed up again, goes up, cools down, goes back down, and again and again.
that is called convection cells

Rina8888 [55]

The concentration of the original calcium ions is 0.005 M

<h3>What is concentration?</h3>

The term concentration has to do with the amount of substance in solution. We know that the concentration can be measured in a lot of units such as mole/litre, grams per litre, percentage and so on.

As such we have the equation;

Ca^2+(aq) + (NH4)2CrO4(aq) --------> CaCrO4(s) + 2NH4^+(aq)

Number of moles of the precipitate = 346.7 * 10^-3 g/156 g/mol

= 0.0022 moles

Now;

1 mole of Ca^2+ produces 1 mole of CaCrO4 hence 0.0022 moles of CaCrO4 was produced by 0.0022 moles of CaCrO4.

Given that the volume of the solution is 0.440 L, the concentration of the solution is; 0.0022 moles/0.440 L

= 0.005 M

Serggg [28]

Explanation:

From your information above, assume 1 month is 28 days

1 days=24hours ; 28 days=672 hours (just multiply 1 days with 28)

1 hour=60minutes ; 672 hours=40,320 minutes

.. 1 month=40,320 minutes

What is the characteristic of the polar water molecule?

NikAS [45]

A water molecule, because of its shape, is a polar molecule. That is, it has one side that is positively charged and one side that is negatively charged. The molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The bonds between the atoms are called covalent bonds, because the atoms share electrons.
