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.

Eugenol is a molecule that contains the phenolic functional group. Which option properly identifies the phenol in eugenol
givi [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

Among the options given on the attached document, since phenolic functional group is characterized by a benzene ring bonded with a hydroxyl group (C₆H₅OH) we can see that the first option correctly points out such description. Thus, answer is on the second attached picture. Other options are related with other sections found in eugenol that are not phenolic.

Best regards.

denis23 [38]

Answer:

The maximum amount of solute that dissolves in a given amount of solvent and forms a stable solution is called the solubility of the solute

Explanation:

The maximum amount of solute that could be dissolved in a given amount of solvent is the solubility of the solute. It is the saturated solution's concentration from where a saturated solution can be defined as the one which already contains the maximum quantity of dissolved solute at a specified temperature, while an unsaturated solution is one with a capacity to dissolve more solutes

The good ozone protects us from the UV/ harmful radiations whereas bad ozone is an air pollutant.

Explanation:

  • There are two types of ozone layer found in the earth's atmosphere extending from troposphere to stratosphere. They are good ozone and bad ozone.
  • Bad ozone as mentioned earlier it is an air pollutant and found in the ground level of earth, most accurately the troposphere. Bad ozone is formed in the ground level of earth's atmosphere by the reaction between nitrogen oxides and organic compounds which are volatile
  • The Good ozone is found in the stratosphere layer of the earth's atmosphere. They protect us from harmful radiations. Good ozone layer in the stratosphere of the atmosphere is being destroyed by hydrocarbons, CFCs, and human intervention
