Why does air exert pressure?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Licemer1 [7]3 years ago
5 0

<u>Answer:</u> because air has mass.

<u>Reasoning:</u> The Atmosphere has little to do with the concept here.

Wind moving air, why would that resulting in pressure? Does wind push you aside make you exert pressure?

Though increased temperatures can increase pressure. It doesn't affect it fully.

the correct answer is the first one because air has mass.

when gases molecules hit a surface or wall or in a room, they exert forces on how much particles or how hard their hitting that surface. so the more wild (hot) the molecules are the more pressure there is.

Which atom absorbs more energy, one in which an electron moves from the second shell to the third shell or an otherwise identica
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

identical atom in which an electron moves from the first to the third shell.

Atoms may occupy different energy states. The energy states are discrete, i.e. they occur at specific values only. Therefore an atom can only move to a new energy level if it absorbs or emits an amount of energy that exactly corresponds to the difference between two energy levels.

The lowest possible energy level that the atom can occupy is called the ground state. This is the energy state that would be considered normal for the atom.

An excited state is an energy level of an atom, ion, or molecule in which an electron is at a higher energy level than its ground state.

An electron is normally in its ground state, the lowest energy state available. After absorbing energy, it may jump from the ground state to a higher energy level, called an excited state.

A government laboratory wants to determine whether water in a certain city has any traces of fluoride and whether the concentrat
nexus9112 [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The given sample of water is not safe for drinking.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Concentration of fluorine in water recommended = 4.00 ppm

ppm is the amount of solute (in milligrams) present in kilogram of a solvent. It is also known as parts-per million.

To calculate the ppm of fluorine in water, we use the equation:

\text{ppm}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 10^6

Both the masses are in grams.

We are given:

Mass of fluorine = 0.152mg=0.152\times 10^{-3}g    (Conversion factor:  1 g = 1000 mg)

Mass of water = 5.00 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{ppm of fluorine in water}=\frac{0.152\times 10^{-3}}{5}\times 10^6\\\\\text{ppm of fluorine in water}=30.4

As, the calculated concentration is greater than the recommended concentration. So, the given sample of water is not safe for drinking.

Hence, the given sample of water is not safe for drinking.

How much work must be done on a 5-kg snowboard to increase its speed from 2 m/s to 4 m/s?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Option C = 30 j

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of snowboard = 5 Kg

Initial speed = 2 m/s

final speed = 4 m/s

work done = ΔE= ?

ΔE= change in kinetic energy

Solution:

Formula:

K.E (initial) = 1/2 × mv²

K.E (initial)  = 1/2 × 5 Kg . (2m/s)²

K.E (initial) = 1/2 × 20 Kg.m²/s²

K.E (initial) = 10 Kg.m²/s² or 10 J      

   Kg.m²/s² = J

K.E (finial) = 1/2 × mv²

K.E (finial) = 1/2 ×  5 Kg . (4m/s)²

K.E (finial) = 1/2 ×  5 Kg . 16 m²/s²

K.E (finial) = 1/2 × 80 Kg.m²/s²

K.E (finial) = 40 Kg.m²/s²  or 40 J

work done =  ΔE = K.E (finial) - K.E (initial)

work done =  ΔE = 40 J - 10 J

work done =  ΔE = 30 J

. In lab we used 40 ml of 6M NaOH in making soap.<br>How many moles of NaOH was in this volume?​
Firdavs [7]

Hey there!:

Molarity of NaOH = 6 M or 6 mol/L

Volume of NaOH = 40 mL

Therefore , number of moles of NaOH:

40 mL  =( 6 mol / 1000 mL)*40=

6/ 1000 * 40 =>  0.24 moles of NaOH

Hope this helps!
