Answer:

1. a body of air with horizontally uniform temperature, humidity, and pressure.

2. Boundaries between unlike air masses. Air masses have fairly uniform temperature and moisture content in horizontal direction (but not uniform in vertical). Air masses are characterized by their temperature and humidity properties.

3. Air masses have fairly uniform temperature and moisture content in horizontal direction (but not uniform in vertical). Air masses are characterized by their temperature and humidity properties.

4. Continental air masses are characterized by dry air near the surface while maritime air masses are moist. Polar air masses are characterized by cold air near the surface while tropical air masses are warm or hot.

5. Continental air masses form over land and are dry. Therefore, an air mass that develops over northern Canada is called a continental polar air mass and is cold and dry. One that forms over the Indian Ocean is called a maritime tropical air mass and is warm and humid.

6. an air mass that develops over northern Canada is called a continental polar air mass and is cold and dry.

7. Commonly, when the cold front is passing, winds become gusty; there is a sudden drop in temperature, and heavy rain, sometimes with hail, thunder, and lightning.

8. stormy

9. The symbol that is used to identify a cold front on a weather map is a blue line with triangles that point in the direction in which the cold front is moving. The line is represents the leading edge of the cooler air mass.

10. The symbol that is used to identify a cold front on a weather map is a blue line with triangles that point in the direction in which the cold front is moving. The line is represents the leading edge of the cooler air mass

11. Because a stationary front marks the boundary between two air masses, there are often differences in air temperature and wind on opposite sides of it. The weather is often cloudy along a stationary front, and rain or snow often falls, especially if the front is in an area of low atmospheric pressure.

12. At an occluded front, the cold air mass from the cold front meets the cool air that was ahead of the warm front. The warm air rises as these air masses come together. Occluded fronts usually form around areas of low atmospheric pressure.

13. The temperature drops as the warm air mass is occluded, or “cut off,” from the ground and pushed upward. Such fronts can bring strong winds and heavy precipitation. Occluded fronts usually form around mature low pressure areas.

14.An occluded front is a combination of those two signs. They are indicated on a weather map either by a purple line with alternating semicircles and triangles pointing in direction of travel, or by red semicircles and blue triangles pointing in the same direction.

Answer:

Heya

Explanation:

1) air mass:- An air mass is a large volume of air in the atmosphere that is mostly uniform in temperature and moisture.

2) Air masses are characterized by their temperature and humidity properties.

3) ( same answer i.e. temperature and humidity properties).

4) Colder air masses are termed polar or arctic, while warmer air masses are deemed tropical. Continental and superior air masses are dry while maritime and monsoon air masses are moist. Weather fronts separate air masses with different density (temperature or moisture) characteristics.

5) Continental air masses are characterized by dry air near the surface while maritime air masses are moist. Polar air masses are characterized by cold air near the surface while tropical air masses are warm or hot. Arctic air masses are extremely cold.

6) Maritime air masses form over water and are humid. Continental air masses form over land and are dry. Therefore, an air mass that develops over northern Canada is called a continental polar air mass and is cold and dry.

7) Commonly, when the cold front is passing, winds become gusty; there is a sudden drop in temperature, and heavy rain, sometimes with hail, thunder, and lightning. Lifted warm air ahead of the front produces cumulus or cumulonimbus clouds and thunderstorms.

8) Warm fronts often bring stormy weather as the warm air mass at the surface rises above the cool air mass, making clouds and storms. Warm fronts move more slowly than cold fronts because it is more difficult for the warm air to push the cold, dense air across the Earth's surface.

9) The symbol that is used to identify a warm front on a weather map is a red line with half circles that point in the direction in which the warm front is moving. The line represents the leading edge of the warmer air mass.

10) On weather maps, the surface position of the cold front is marked with the symbol of a blue line of triangles/spikes (pips) pointing in the direction of travel.

11) Because a stationary front marks the boundary between two air masses, there are often differences in air temperature and wind on opposite sides of it. The weather is often cloudy along a stationary front, and rain or snow often falls, especially if the front is in an area of low atmospheric pressure.

12)At an occluded front, the cold air mass from the cold front meets the cool air that was ahead of the warm front. The warm air rises as these air masses come together. Occluded fronts usually form around areas of low atmospheric pressure.

13) The warm air mass rises as the cool air masses push and meet in the middle. The temperature drops as the warm air mass is occluded, or “cut off,” from the ground and pushed upward. Such fronts can bring strong winds and heavy precipitation. Occluded fronts usually form around mature low pressure areas.

14)Occluded fronts are drawn as a solid purple line with half circles and triangles pointing in the direction that the front is moving. An occluded front usually brings dry air.

In a room full of air, the air is mainly composed of Nitrogen and Oxygen molecules (both at room temperature). Find (to two sign
zloy xaker [14]

Explanation:

Expression for the v_{rms} speed is as follows.

            v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}

where,   v_{rms} = root mean square speed

                     k = Boltzmann constant

                    T = temperature

                    M = molecular mass

As the molecular weight of oxygen is 0.031 kg/mol and R = 8.314 J/mol K. Hence, we will calculate the value of v_{rms} as follows.

               v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}

                            = \sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.02 K}{0.031 kg/mol}}

                            = 498.5 m/s

Hence, v_{rms} for oxygen atom is 498.5 m/s.

For nitrogen atom, the molecular weight is 0.028 kg/mol. Hence, we will calculate its v_{rms} speed as follows.

                v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}

                              = \sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.92 K}{0.028 kg/mol}}

                              = 524.5 m/s

Therefore, v_{rms} speed for nitrogen is 524.5 m/s.

Explain why 5.00 grams of salt does not contain the same number of particles as 5.0 grams of sugar​
Tom [10]

Answer:

5.00 grams of salt contain more particles than 5.0 grams of sugar​

Explanation:

Salt = NaCl

Molar mass = 58.45  g/mol

Sugar = C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁

Molar mass = 342.3 g/mol

Sugar's molar mass is higher than salt.

So 1 mol of sugar weighs more than 1 mol of salt

But 5 grams of salt occupies more mole than 5 grams of sugar

5 grams of salt = 5g / 58.45 g/m = 0.085 moles

5 grams of sugar = 5g/ 342.3 g/m = 0.014 moles

In conclusion, we have more moles of salt in 5 grams; therefore there are more particles than in 5 g of sugar.

2.714 mole of helium has a mass of ______ grams.<br><br> (Enter just the number for this one.)
kifflom [539]

Hello!

To find the mass of helium, we need to multiply the total moles by the mass of helium. We are given 2.714 moles of helium, and the mass of helium is about 4.00 grams. Now, we multiply the two values together to get the grams.

2.714 moles x 4.00 grams = 10.856 grams

According to the number of significant figures, 2.714 moles of helium has a mass of 10.9 grams (exact value: 10.856 grams).
