Answer:

7.5 pounds per square-inch

At sea level, one square-inch of any surface has about 15 pounds of air sitting on top of it. At 18,000 feet, that same square inch has only 7.5 pounds per square-inch (psi) exerted on it.

Calculate the concentration (in mol/l) of 33% by weight (33 g naoh per 100 g of solution) naoh solution. (the density of the 33%
Shtirlitz [24]
Molarity is measured in moles per Liter. If there are 1.35 g/mL, find out how many grams there are in a liter of solution.

If there are 1000 mL in one liter, we can multiply by 1000 to get g/L

1.35 g/mL x 1 Liter/1000 mL = 1350 g per Liter of solution

By weight, the NaOH is 33% or .33

1350 g x .33 = 445.5 g of NaOH

Molar mass of NaOH is 39.997 g

445.5 g  x 1 mol NaOH/39.997 g = 11.13833538 moles per Liter

Rounded to significant figures, the answer is 11 mol/L NaOH

Why do a car's tires need more air in the winter than they do in the summer?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In winter's, temperature of atmosphere is low and due to this molecules of air present in the tire come closer to each other as they gain potential energy and loses kinetic energy.

Hence, air pressure decreases and there is need to fill more air in the tire.

Whereas is summer's, temperature is high so, molecules of air inside the tire gain kinetic energy and move rapidly from one place to another due to number of collisions. So, air pressure increases and there is no need to fill more air inside the tire.

Thus, we can conclude that the temperature is lower, so the air inside the tires contracts.

Landfills are one source of CO2. As garbage decomposes, it releases CO2 into the air. Can you think of at least
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Recycling and reuse of materials

Explanation:

One of the greatest problems facing the human population is the problem of solid waste disposal. The menace of solid waste disposal has led to the idea of landfills. Land fills are depressions on the earth surface prepared for the purpose of solid waste disposal.

The most important approach towards solid waste disposal is the idea of recycling of materials. A material can be collected after use and processed into the same material or serve as a precursor in another manufacturing process. This means that no waste is generated as the materials which are supposed to be disposed of as solid waste are processed into other useful materials. This will reduce the volume of solid wastes generated that may need to be disposed in a landfill.

An alpha particle is equivalent to the nucleus of an atom of which element?(1 point)
Monica [59]

Answer: An alpha-particle is identical to the nucleus of a normal (atomic mass four) helium atom i.e. a doubly ionised helium atom. Alpha particles (also termed alpha radiation or alpha rays) was the first nuclear radiation to be discovered, beta particles and gamma rays were identified soon after.
