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

Chemistry

charle [14.2K]2 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

How many moles are in 110 grams of nahco3
yuradex [85]
Molar mass NaHCO₃ = 23 + 1 + 12 + 16 x 3 = 84 g/mol

1 mole ---------- 84 g
? mole ---------- 110 g

moles NaHCO₃ = 110 . 1 / 84

moles NaHCO₃ = 110 / 84

= 1.309 moles

The solubility of nacl at 30°c is 36.3 g/100 g of water. what mass of nacl is contained in a saturated solution that contains 30
sleet_krkn [62]
Because a solubility is calculated for saturated solutions we can write:

36.3 g NaCl ---100g water
x g NaCl ---- 300.0 g water

x=36.3*300/100=108.9 g NaCl
