How does the temperature of the air change with altitude?

Chemistry
1 answer:
TiliK225 [7]3 years ago
8 0
As you increase in elevation, there is less air above you thus the pressure decreases. As the pressure decreases, air molecules spread out further (i.e. air expands) and the temperature decreases. If the humidity is at 100 percent (because it's snowing), the temperature decreases more slowly with height.

Which example is a homogenous mixture of two or more pure substances? alcohol
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Alcohol and water.

Explanation:

Alcohol and water is a homogenous mixture. because these two liquids are soluble, miscible in all composition. A homogenous mixture is a solution that has equal  composition of its components.

Irregular mixing of two liquid components have different refractive indexes. At a high temperature, it can become inhomogenous spontaneously.

A solution is a type of homogenous mixture which composed of two or more substances. In a mixture a solute is a substance, dissolves in other substance that is solvents like alcohol and water, alcohol is solute and water is a solvent.

5. Why are lonic compounds good conductors of electricity?
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The options are unclear, however, the correct option is:

Aqueous solutions of ionic compounds cause to dissociate, hence, ions are free to conduct electricity

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are compounds formed from ions (charged atoms). For example, NaCl is an ionic compound from the following ions; Na+ (cation) and Cl- (anion). One characteristics of ionic compounds is their ability to dissociate into the ions that form them when in an aqueous solution i.e. NaCl will dissociate into Na+ and Cl- when in an aqueous solution.

These disssociated ions are free to conduct electricity, hence, making ionic compounds good conductors of electricity.

An aqueous solution containing 17.5 g of an unknown molecular (nonelectrolyte) compound in 100.0 g of water has a freezing point
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

molar mass = 180.833 g/mol

Explanation:

  • mass sln = mass solute + mass solvent

∴  solute: unknown molecular (nonelectrolyte)

∴ solvent: water

∴ mass solute = 17.5 g

∴ mass solvent =  100.0 g = 0.1 Kg

⇒ mass sln = 117.5 g

freezing point:

  • ΔTc = - Kc×m

∴ ΔTc = -1.8 °C

∴ Kc H2O = 1.86 °C.Kg/mol

∴ m: molality (mol solute/Kg solvent)

⇒ m = ( - 1.8 °C)/( - 1.86 °C.Kg/mol)

⇒ m = 0.9677 mol solute/Kg solvent

  • molar mass (Mw) [=] g/mol

∴ mol solute = ( m )×(Kg solvent)

⇒ mol solute = ( 0.9677 mol/Kg) × ( 0.100 Kg H2O )

⇒ mol solute = 0.09677 mol

⇒ Mw solute = ( 17.5 g ) / ( 0.09677 mol )

⇒ Mw solute = 180.833 g/mol
