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.

Compare and contrast the concepts of average mass and relative mass. Which one is more accurate, and why? Why is the one you did

Brut [27]

Answer:

Relative and average atomic mass both describe properties of an element related to its different isotopes.

Explanation:However, relative atomic mass is a standardized number that's assumed to be correct under most circumstances, while average atomic mass is only true for a specific sample.

Calcium hydroxide is a strong base but is not very soluble ( Ksp = 5.02 X 10-6 ). What is the pH of a saturated solution of Ca(O

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer : The pH of a saturated solution is, 12.33

Explanation : Given,

$K_{sp}$ = $5.02\times 10^{-6}$

First we have to calculate the solubility of $OH^-$ ion.

The balanced equilibrium reaction will be:

$Ca(OH)_2\rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}+2OH^-$

Let the solubility will be, 's'.

The concentration of $Ca^{2+}$ ion = s

The concentration of $OH^-$ ion = 2s

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

$K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][OH^-]^2$

Let the solubility will be, 's'

$K_{sp}=(s)\times (2s)^2$

$K_{sp}=(4s)^3$

Now put the value of $K_[sp}$ in this expression, we get the solubility.

$5.02\times 10^{-6}=(4s)^3$

$s=1.079\times 10^{-2}M$

The concentration of $Ca^{2+}$ ion = s = $1.079\times 10^{-2}M$

The concentration of $OH^-$ ion = 2s = $2\times (1.079\times 10^{-2}M)=2.158\times 10^{-2}M$

First we have to calculate the pOH.

$pOH=-\log [OH^-]$

$pOH=-\log (2.158\times 10^{-2})$

$pOH=1.67$

Now we have to calculate the pH.

$pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH\\\\pH=14-1.67=12.33$

Therefore, the pH of a saturated solution is, 12.33

a sample of ammonia liberates 5.66 kj of heat as it solidifies at its melting point . what is the mass of the sample?

Reil [10]

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "16.728 g."

Given that
ΔHsolid = -5.66 kJ/mol.
This means that 5.66 kJ of heat is released when 1 mole of NH3 solidifies

When 5.57 kJ of heat is released
amount of NH3 solidifies = 5.57/5.66 = 0.984 moles

molar mass of NH3 = 17 g/mole 
1 mole of NH3 = 17 g 
So, 0.984 moles of NH3 = 17 X 0.984 = 16.728 g
