What is the role of gravity in maintaining the atmospheric layer around Earth ? Please put a simple explanation Thank you !

Chemistry

Delvig [45]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand what gravity is. Gravity in its simplest form can be best visualized as a force of attraction, that pulls all objects that have a mass towards itself.

It is usually exerted by an object with a larger mass and felt by objects with smaller masses.

Putting this into context, the earth exerts a gravitational pull on all substances with masses, which are around it. This includes the oceans, birds, airplanes, clouds, and even gasses in the atmosphere. The atmospheric gasses may be light enough to float, but they can't go very far, since gravity is constantly tugging at them. This keeps the gasses that make up our atmosphere, within a reasonable radius, which is very close to the earth. In a nutshell, gravity prevents them from floating away into outer space.

Explain why copper is used for the<br> roofs of some buildings and magnesium is not.
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Because of the less reactivity of copper.

Explanation:

As well as being resistant to the elements and thereby less likely to be affected by rainfall, hail, and mildew than other types of roofing, copper is also one of the most fireproof materials available. Copper is also highly resistant to thermal changes and thereby doesn't deteriorate quickly.

Magnesium would also corrode PDQ. Magnesium sheeting would also pose an unacceptably high fire hazard.

Consider separate solutions of NaOH and KClmade by dissolving 100.0 g of each solute in 250.0 mL of solution. Calculate the conc
gladu [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

MW of NaOH = 40 g/mol

MW of KCl = 74.55 g/mp;

250 mL = .25 L

100g NaOH / 40 g = 25 mol

100g KCl/ 74.55g = 1.34 mol

Molarity of NaOH: 25/.25 = 100M

Molarity of KCl: 1.34/.25 = 5.36 M
