Which process releases energy that eventually produces lightning in the thunderstorm?

Chemistry

1 answer:

Ira Lisetskai [31]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

Answer: B. Water condenses to form clouds.

Explanation:

When the moisture condenses, this results in the release of energy. The energy causes the air to be warm and results in the rise of air in the upper atmosphere. This process results in the instability in the atmosphere and cumulonimbus clouds are formed. These clouds support lightening during a thunderstorm.

27.4 g of Aluminum nitrite and 169.9 g of ammonium chloride react to form aluminum chloride, nitrogen, and water. How many grams

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: The mass of excess reagent (ammonium chloride) remained after the reaction is 62.7 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For aluminium nitrite:

Given mass of aluminium nitrite = 27.4 g

Molar mass of aluminium nitrite = 41 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of aluminium nitrite}=\frac{27.4g}{41g/mol}=0.668mol$

For ammonium chloride:

Given mass of ammonium chloride = 169.9 g

Molar mass of ammonium chloride = 53.5 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of ammonium chloride}=\frac{169.9g}{53.5g/mol}=3.176mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of aluminium nitrite and ammonium chloride follows:

$Al(NO_2)_3+3NH_4Cl\rightarrow AlCl_3+3N_2+6H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aluminium nitrite reacts with 3 moles of ammonium chloride

So, 0.668 moles of aluminium nitrite will react with = $\frac{3}{1}\times 0.668=2.004mol$ of ammonium chloride.

As, given amount of ammonium chloride is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, aluminium nitrite is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

Excess moles of ammonium chloride = (3.176 - 2.004) mol = 1.172 moles

Calculating the mass of ammonium chloride by using equation 1, we get:

Excess moles of ammonium chloride = 1.172 moles

Molar mass of ammonium chloride = 53.5 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.172mol=\frac{\text{Mass of ammonium chloride}}{53.5g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of ammonium chloride}=(1.172mol\times 53.5g/mol)=62.7g$

Hence, the mass of excess reagent (ammonium chloride) remained after the reaction is 62.7 grams

The chemical hazard label indicates the class of hazard. It uses three major color-coded categories: Health (yellow), Flammabili

Rasek [7]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The chemical hazard label with colors indicates the specific class of hazard. Hazardous Materials Identification System is defined as the numerical hazard rating then incorporate the use of labels with colors.

Blue color: This sign conveys the health hazards of the material, means that long-term exposure to the material can cause the problems, for example kidney damage, and emphysema.

Red for color: This sign conveys the flammability hazards of the material.

Yellow for color: This sign conveys the instability hazards of the material.

What mass of sodium chloride is needed to prepare 200 ml of a 0.1 M solution

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

C. 1.17 grams

Explanation:

The molarity is the no. of moles of solute in a 1.0 L of the solution.

M = (mass/molar mass)solute x (1000/ V)

M = 0.1 M, mass = ??? g, molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol, V = 200.0 mL.

∴ mass of NaCl = (M)(molar mass)(V)/1000 = (0.1 M)(58.44 g/mol)(200.0 mL)/1000 = 1.168 g ≅ 1.17 g.

Lowering an object decrease is potential

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Lowering the object near the ground decreases its potential energy.

Explanation:

Potential Energy : Energy possessed by the object due to its shape ,Size and Position is called potential energy.

Example :

Change in shape and size : When you compress the spring , potential energy is introduced in it . So it expand quickly when you remove your hand.

Change in position : when you swing , after attaining maximum height (extreme ends) , the swing comes back on its on .This is because at maximum height ,the swing has maximum Potential energy . Hence it fall back on its on because it already has potential energy.

Potential energy(P) is given by the formula :

P = mgh

where ,

m= mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of the object from the ground

If the height of the object increases from the ground , its potential energy also get increase.

On lowering the object The height of the object from the ground reduces . So potential energy also reduces.
