How does the atmospheric pressure at altitudes above sea level compare with atmospheric pressure at sea level?

Chemistry
1 answer:
charle [14.2K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Option B

The atmospheric pressure at sea level is higher.

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure can simply be understood as the weight of the air molecules in the atmosphere. The higher we go up into the atmosphere, the thinner the air becomes. This means that the air present at higher heights is not so much, and hence, the air is lighter. This is why most fighter jets and mountain climbers need oxygen tanks to breathe properly.

Due to the fact that the air is less dense (lighter) at higher altitudes, it also means that the atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes is less.

Therefore, the atmospheric pressure at the sea level is higher than the atmospheric pressure at  altitudes above sea level

2. The approximate concentration of hydrochloric acid, HCl, in the stomach (stomach
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

a) 0.714g of bicarbonate of soda are required.

b) 0.221g of Al(OH)₃ are required

Explanation:

The reactions of HCl with bicarbonate of soda and aluminium hydroxide are:

HCl + NaHCO₃ → H₂O + NaCl + CO₂

3 HCl + Al(OH)₃ → 3H₂O + AlCl₃

The moles of HCl that we need neutralize are:

50mL = 0.050L * (0.17mol / L) = 0.0085 moles HCl

To solve these problem we need to find the moles of the antacid using the chemical reaction and its mass using its molar mass;

<em>a) </em><em>Moles NaHCO₃ = Moles HCl = 0.0085 moles </em>

The mass is -Molar mass NaHCO₃: -84g/mol-

0.0085 moles * (84g / mol) = 0.714g of bicarbonate of soda are required

b) 0.0085 moles HCl * (1mol Al(OH)₃ / 3mol HCl) = 2.83x10⁻³ moles Al(OH)₃

The mass is -Molar mass: 78g/mol-:

2.83x10⁻³ moles Al(OH)₃ * (78g/mol) =

<h3>0.221g of Al(OH)₃ are required</h3>

HELP!! b. At the equivalence point, all of the acid has been neutralized by the base. Why does the pH change so
CaHeK987 [17]

At equivalence there is no more HA and no more NaOH, for this particular reaction. So that means we have a beaker of NaA and H2O. The H2O contributes 1 x 10-7 M hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion. But NaA is completely soluble because group 1 ion compounds are always soluble. So NaA breaks apart in water and it just so happens to be in water. So now NaA is broken up. The Na+ doesn't change the pH but the A- does change the pH. Remember that the A anion is from a weak acid. That means it will easily attract a hydrogen ion if one is available. What do you know? The A anion is in a beaker of H+ ions! So the A- will attract H+ and become HA. When this happens, it leaves OH-, creating a basic solution, as shown below.

Which laws can be combined to form the ideal gas law?
Morgarella [4.7K]
Answer: Charles's law, Avogadro's law and Boyle's law.

Justification:

Boyle's law states that at constant temperature  PV = constant

Charles law states that at constant pressure V/T = constant

Avogadro's law states that at constant pressure ant temperature, equal volume of gases contain equal number of moles: V/n = constant

Ideal gas law states PV/nT = constant => PV = nT*constant = PV = nTR

What kind of reaction does Iron (III) and copper (II) sulfate solution produce?
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Single replacement

Explanation:

Types of reaction in Chemistry

Synthesis           two or more reactants combine to produce one single product

Decomposition      one reactant splits producing two or more products

Single replacement  One element replaces a similar one in a compound.

Double replacement Two compounds interchange their cations and anions.

Combustion one compound reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.

Reaction given

                      Fe⁺²  +  CuSO₄  ⇒   Cu + FeSO₄

This is a single replacement reaction
