How does the temperature of the air change with altitude?

Chemistry

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.

1. Compare and contrast the characteristics of metals and nonmetals.
Alona [7]

Answer:

1.Metals

These are very hard except sodium

These are malleable and ductile  pieces

These are shiny

Electropositive in nature

Non-metals

These are soft except diamond

These are brittle and can break down into pieces

These are non-lustrous except iodine

Electronegative in nature

2. The electrochemical series helps to pick out substances that are good oxidizing agents and those which are good reducing agents.In an electrochemical series the species which are placed above hydrogen are more difficult to be reduced and their standard reduction potential values are negative.

3. Arrhenius theory, theory, introduced in 1887 by the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius, that acids are substances that dissociate in water to yield electrically charged atoms or molecules, called ions, one of which is a hydrogen ion (H+), and that bases ionize in water to yield hydroxide ions (OH−).

4. The common application of indicators is the detection of end points of titrations. The colour of an indicator alters when the acidity or the oxidizing strength of the solution, or the concentration of a certain chemical species, reaches a critical range of values.

  2. Litmus test; acid turn blue litmus red while bases turn red litmus blue
  3. Texture; acids are usually sticky while bases are soapy and slippery
  4. Reactivity; acids react mainly with metals to produce hydrogen gas while base mainly react with fats and oils

A group of electrons is treated as a point charge of -1.12 x 10-18 C. How many electrons make up this point charge? Remember tha
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

7

Explanation:

Given that the total charge is given by;

C =nq

Where;

n = number of charges

q = quantity of charge

Where the total amount of charge is  -1.12 x 10-18 C and the magnitude of each charge is  -1.602 x 10-19 C

Then the number of electrons is obtained from;

n =  -1.12 x 10-18 C/ -1.602 x 10-19 C

n = 7
