The uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun's energy creates pressure

1 answer:

7 0

Usually when we talk about uneven heating of the Earth's surface we are discussing convection. The uneven heating results in some of the atmosphere to be warmer than other parts and changes in volume and pressure which result in updrafts and can cause thunderstorms and other violent weather.

PLEASE HELP!!! How many km/hr are there in 6.01 x 10^6 yd/wk?

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

32.711

Explanation:

1 yard = 0.0009144 km

1 week = 168 hrs

6.01 x 10^6 / 168 = 35,773.81 yds/hr

= 32.711 km/hr

A sample of oxygen occupies 20.1 liters under a pressure of 1520 torr at 25.0o What volume would it occupy at 25.0oC if the pres

Zolol [24]

Answer:

The volume that the sample of oxygen would occupy at 25 ° C if the pressure were reduced to 760.0 torr is 40.2 L

Explanation:

Boyle's law establishes the relationship between the pressure and the volume of a gas when the temperature is constant, so that the pressure of a gas in a closed container is inversely proportional to the volume of the container. That is, if the pressure increases, the volume decreases, while if the pressure decreases, the volume increases.

Boyle's law is expressed mathematically as:

Pressure * Volume = constant

or P * V = k

Considering an initial state 1 and a final state 2, it is true:

P1* V1= P2*V2

In this case:

P1= 20.1 L
V1= 1520 torr
P2= 760 torr
V2= ?

Replacing:

20.1 L* 1520 torr= 760 torr* V2

Solving:

$V2=\frac{20.1 L* 1520 torr}{760 torr}$

V2= 40.2 L

The volume that the sample of oxygen would occupy at 25 ° C if the pressure were reduced to 760.0 torr is 40.2 L

1) non equilibrium

mass movement

unsaturated solution

2)equilibrium phase change

Heat of vaporization

condensation

heat of fusion

normal boiling point

vapor pressure

3) equilibrium reaction

saturated solution

Ksp

solubility

Explanation:

Nonequilibrium processes are those processes that are irreversible. They often lead to an increase in entropy of the system.

In chemical systems, a state of equilibrium is said to have been attained when the rate of the forward process equals the rate of the reverse process. This is true for both chemical reaction and phase changes. A state of equilibrium connotes a constancy in physical properties of a system over a period of time.
