Answer:

Explanation:

Hurricanes are very powerful, circular storms that begin over warm water. These storms have heavy rains, very high winds, and low atmospheric pressures. They are fueled by a strong cycle of warmer, moister air flowing upward from near the ocean's surface and being replaced by cooler, drier air from the surrounding area. This cycle gets faster and stronger as it is fed by the ocean's heat and water evaporating from the ocean's surface.

So, the first step in hurricane formation occurs when warm ocean water evaporates and then condenses, forming a low pressure area below.

Explanation:

According to the Beer-lambert' s law,

Absrobance = absrobptitvity × lenght × concentration

So, if we will plot a graph between absrobance and concentration then we will obtain a straight line

Hence, formula to calculate slope of the graph is as follows.

The slope of graph = $\frac{\text{difference in absrobance at two points}}{\text{difference in concentrations at those points}}$

The given data is as follows.

$A_{1}$ = 0.412 (first point)

$A_{2}$ = 0.642 (second point)

$C_{1}$ = 0.240 ppm (first point)

$C_{2}$ = 0.475 ppm (second point)

Hence, putting these values into the above formula we will calculate the value of slope as follows.

Slope = $\frac{\text{difference in absrobance at two points}}{\text{difference in concentrations at those points}}$

= $\frac{0.642 - 0.412}{0.475 - 0.240}$

= $\frac{0.23}{0.235}$

= 0.978

It is known that for the graph, line equation can be written as follows.

y = mx + c ........... (1)

where, C = intercept

m = slope

Hence, calculate the value of intercept as follows.

0.412 = $0.24 \times 0.978$ + c

c = 0.178

As it is given that the absorbance values 0.454 (the y-axis value). Therefore, putting this value into equation (1) we get the following.

y = mx + c

0.454 = $x \times 0.978$ + 0.178

0.276 = 0.978x

x = 0.282 ppm

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of Pb in the given sample is 0.282 ppm.

How do solve for density?

Pachacha [2.7K]

Density(D) is defined as Mass(M) divided by Volume(V).

The formula for Density is:

D = M / V.

Another way to remember the formula for Density is to remember "Mass per unit of volume".

I hope this helps!

What is responsible for the larger size of an anion in comparison with the atom from which it is form?

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

electron-electron repulsion

Explanation:

When electrons add into valence shell of neutral elements, the element assumes a negative oxidation state. With this, the number of electrons having (-) charges will be larger than the number of protons having positive (+) charges. As a result, the extra electrons repel one another (i.e., like charges repel) and a larger radius is the result.

In contrast, when cations are formed, electrons are removed from the valence level (oxidation) producing an element having a greater number of protons than electrons. The larger number of protons will function to attract the electron cloud with a greater force that results in a contraction of atomic radius and a smaller spherical volume than the neutral unionized element.

To visualize, see attached chart that shows atomic and ionic radii before and after ionization of the elements.
