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.

Predict whether each of the following molecules is polar or non-polar:a) IF,b) CS2, c) SO3, d) PCl3, e) SF6, f) IF5.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Polar: IF, PCl3, IF5

Nonpolar: CS2, SO3, SF6

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Polar molecules form when two atoms do not share electrons equally in a covalent bond.
A molecule is classified as a polar molecule when the arrangement of the atoms is such that one end of the molecule has a positive electrical charge and the other end has a negative charge.
A non-polar molecule does not have electrical poles.The electrons are distributed more equally.
Therefore, a non-polar molecule does not have a profusion of charges at the opposite ends. The majority of hydrocarbon liquids are non-polar molecules.

At a given temperature, 2.6 atm of h2 and 3.14 atm of cl2 are mixed and allowed to come to equilibrium. the equilibrium pressure

Keith_Richards [23]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

Given:

H2 = 2.6 atm
CL2 = 3.14 atm

pressure H2 = 2.6 - x
pressure Cl2 = 3.14 - x
pressure HBr = 2x = 1.13

x = 1.13 / 2 = 0.565

pressure H2 = 2.6 - 0.565 = 2.035
pressure Br2 = 3.14 - 0.565 = 2.575

Kp = (1.13)^2 / 2.035 x 2.575

= 1.2769 / (5.240125)

= 0.24367739319195629875241525726963

= 0.244

Therefore, the Kp for the reaction at the given temperature is 0.244.

To add, the hypothetical pressure of a gas if it alone occupied the whole volume of the original mixture at the same temperature is called the partial pressure or Kp.
