Artificial rain a practice of artificially inducing or increasing precipitation through clouds by adding external agents. The foreign particles which are drenched over these clouds can be Dry Ice(solid carbon dioxide), Silver Iodide, Salt powder etc. This process is known as Cloud Seeding. It is weather modification by dispersing substances into the air that served as clod condensation or ice nuclei. Harmful effects of this are as follow, Silver iodide used for such rain can cause temporary incapacitation in mammals. It was invented by VINCENT SCHAEFER.
It’s a practice of artificially inducing or increasing precipitation through clouds by adding external agents.
The foreign particles which are drenched over these clouds can be Dry Ice(solid carbon dioxide), Silver Iodide, Salt powder etc. This process is known as Cloud Seeding. This stimulation is done by aeroplanes or rockets. And then finally "rain on".
Agitation : The first stage includes the use of chemicals to stimulate the air mass upwind of target area to rise and form clouds. These chemicals absorbs the water vapour and helps in the process of condensation. Chemicals like - Calcium Oxide, compound of Urea and Ammonium Nitrate or Chloride Calcium Carbonate.
Building Up Stage : In the second stage the mass of the cloud is build up by urea, dry ice, kitchen salt etc to increase the density of the clouds.
Seeding : In the final stage of persuing the artificial rain, super cool chemicals (dry ice or iodide) are bombarded with the presurized canister onto the base of the clouds to build the beads of water and make them fall as rain.
Given a mole each for iron and magnesium, the number of atoms of each element is equal. Iron has a greater mass due to its greater molecular weight. The correct statement among the choices is D.
