Answer: because air has mass.

Reasoning: 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.

The combustion of 0.374 kg of methane in the presence of excess oxygen produces 0.983 kg of carbon dioxide. What is the percent

anyanavicka [17]

Assuming that the combustion formula is
CH4 + 2O2 --> 2H2O + CO2,

That means for every 1 molecule of methane(CH4) there will be one molecule of carbon dioxide(CO2) produced. Methane molecular weight 16, carbon dioxide molecular weight is 44. Then the percent yield should be:
1 * (0.374/ 16) /(0.983/44)= 0.374*44/ 0.983 * 16= 104.6%

You sure the number is correct? Percent yield should not exceed 100%

What volume (mL) of a concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide (6.00 M) must be diluted to 187 mL to make a 1.53 M solution of

Len [333]

Answer:

47.68 mL

Explanation:

In this case, we have a dilution problem. So, we have to start with the dilution equation:

$C_1*V_1=C_2*V_2$

We have to remember that in a dilution procedure we go from a higher concentration to a lower one. With this in mind, We have to identify the concentration values:

$C_1~=~6.00~M$

$C_2~=~1.53~M$

The higher concentration is C1 and the lower concentration is C2. Now, we can identify the volume values:

$V_1~=~X$

$V_2~=~187~mL$

The V2 value has "mL" units, so V1 would have "mL" units also. Now, we can include all the values into the equation and solve for "V1", so:

$6.00~M*V_1=1.53~M*187~mL$

$V_1=\frac{1.53~M*187~mL}{6.00~M}=47.68~mL$

So, we have to take 47.68 mL of the 6 M and add 139.31 mL of water (187-47.68) to obtain a solution with a final concentration of 1.53 M.

I hope it helps!
