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

Chemistry

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

How much heat energy is produced by 0.5 Wh of electrical energy
n200080 [17]
1 W is equivalent to 1 J/s

So,
0.5 Wh = 0.5 (J/s) (h)

Converting h to s,
0.5 (J/s) (h) (60min/1h) (60s/1min) = 1800J

Thefore,
0.5Wh is 1800J or 1.8kJ of heat energy

What evidence indicates that nitric acid (HNO3) is a strong acid?​
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The presence of hydrogen ions

Explanation:

Nitric acid is formed when hydrogen ions combine with nitrogen oxide ions leading to formation of a strong acid. Wheareas for strong bases the hydroxyl iins must be present, for strong acid, the hydrogen ions contribute to the acidity. Therefore, from the formula of nitric acid, it has hydrogen ions, an indicator of a strong acid.

I need help w these 2 questions​
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

1. a = 2, b = 1 and c = 2

2. a = 1, b = 3, c = 2 and d = 2

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of mass, the mass can neither be created nor destroyed.

Hence, for a chemical equation the left hand side should be equal to the right hand side.

Therefore, the two balanced equations are;

2 CO + O₂ → 2 CO₂

C₂H₄ + 3 O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 2 H₂O
