Low clouds
Stratus clouds are uniform grayish clouds that often cover the sky. Usually no precipitation falls from stratus clouds, but they may drizzle. When a thick fog “lifts,” the resulting clouds are low stratus. Nimbostratus clouds form a dark gray, “wet” looking cloudy layer associated with continuously falling rain or snow. They often produce light to moderate precipitation.

Middle clouds
Clouds with the prefix “alto” are middle-level clouds that have bases at 6,500 to 23,000 feet up. Altocumulus clouds are made of water droplets and appear as gray, puffy masses, sometimes rolled out in parallel waves or bands. These clouds on a warm, humid summer morning often mean thunderstorms by late afternoon. Altostratus clouds, gray or blue-gray, are made up of ice crystals and water droplets. They usually cover the sky. In thinner areas of them, the sun may be dimly visible as a round disk. Altostratus clouds often form ahead of storms that produce continuous precipitation.

High clouds
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds blown by high winds into long streamers. They are considered “high clouds,” forming at more than 20,000 feet. They usually move across the sky from west to east and generally mean fair to pleasant weather. Cirrostratus, thin, sheetlike clouds that often cover the sky, are so thin the sun and moon can be seen through them. Cirrocumulus clouds appear as small, rounded white puffs. Small ripples in the cirrocumulus sometimes resemble the scales of a fish, creating what is sometimes called a “mackerel sky.”

Vertical clouds
Cumulus clouds are puffy and can look like floating cotton. The base of each is often flat and may be only 330 feet above ground. The top has rounded towers. When the top resembles a cauliflower head, it is called “cumulus congestus.” These grow upward and if they continue to grow vertically can develop into a giant cumulonimbus, a thunderstorm cloud, with dark bases no more than 1,000 feet above ground and extending to more than 39,000 feet. Tremendous energy is released by condensation of water vapor in a cumulonimbus. Lightning, thunder and violent tornadoes are associated with them.

When the temperature of the air is 25°C, the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer ; The correct answer is : 346 m/s .

Sound is a type of longitudinal wave , which is produced when a matter compress or refracts .

Speed of sounds depends on factors like medium , density , temperature etc .

Effect of Temperature on speed of sounds :

When the temperature increases , molecules gains energy and they starts vibrating and with higher temperature vibration becomes fast . So the waves of sounds can travel faster due to faster vibrations . Hence , speed of sounds is directly proportional to the temperature or speed of sounds increases with increase in temperature .

The speed of sounds at 0⁰C is 331 \frac{m}{s}

The relation between speed of sound and temperature is given as :

V = 331 \frac{m}{s}  + ( 0.6 \frac{m}{s- ^0C} * T  )

Given : Temperature = 25 ⁰ C

Plugging values in formula =>

V = 331 \frac{m}{s} + (0.6 \frac{m}{s-^0C}  * 25^0C)

V = 331 \frac{m}{s} + 15 \frac{m}{s}

V =  346 \frac{m}{s}

Liquid water boiling in an open pan on a stove is our system. Is the system open or closed? What boundary transfers are happenin
valina [46]

Answer:

It's an open system, tranfering heat through a rigid, diathermal wall and matter through an imaginary and permeable wall, and it is not at steady state.

Explanation:

  • An <em>open system</em> is that that interacts with its surroundings exchanging energy and matter. In an open pan with boiling water you have an open system because steam (matter) is leaving the system, as well as heat (energy) through the pan/stove.
  • A<em> boundary</em> is what separates the system from its surroundings, there are many types of boundaries, based on how they transfer energy they can be diathermal (conducting heat) or adiabatic (insulating), on their rigidity they can be rigid, flexible, imaginary or movable and based on their permeability. For the system described we have an imaginary boundary on top that is also permeable allowing matter to go out or in the system, and another wall (the stove/pan itself that is rigid and impermeable avoiding the loss of matter and diathermal, allowing the conduction of heat.
  • It is said that a system is at a<em> steady state</em> when the variables that define that system remain constant over time. In an open pan, you can't fully control those variables, you'll have matter and energy scaping from it with no way to regulate it.

I hope you find interesting and useful this information! good luck!

Your lab partner named this compound 3-methyl-4-n-propylhexane, but that is not correct.
loris [4]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct IUPAC name of the alkane is 4-ethyl-3-methylheptane

<u>Explanation:</u>

The IUPAC nomenclature of alkanes are given as follows:

  • Select the longest possible carbon chain.
  • For the number of carbon atom, we add prefix as 'meth' for 1, 'eth' for 2, 'prop' for 3, 'but' for 4, 'pent' for 5, 'hex' for 6, 'sept' for 7, 'oct' for 8, 'nona' for 9 and 'deca' for 10.
  • A suffix '-ane' is added at the end of the name.
  • If two of more similar alkyl groups are present, then the words 'di', 'tri' 'tetra' and so on are used to specify the number of times these alkyl groups appear in the chain.

We are given:

An alkane having chemical name as 3-methyl-4-n-propylhexane. This will not be the correct name of the alkane because the longest possible carbon chain has 7 Carbon atoms, not 6 carbon atoms

The image of the given alkane is shown in the image below.

Hence, the correct IUPAC name of the alkane is 4-ethyl-3-methylheptane
