What causes hot air to rise, and cool air to sink?

Chemistry
1 answer:
nataly862011 [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

hot air rises because gases expand as they heat up.When air heats up and expands,its density also increases.The warmer,less dense air effectively floats on top of the colder, dense air below it. This creates a buoyant force that causes warmer air to rise.

cold air sinks because it is heavier as its more dense ( because of closely packed molecules) soits harder for them to move and they absorb less energy. Also, gravity pulls on it more strongly.

Hope it helps :)

What is the potential energy of the reactants from the following energy diagram?
slavikrds [6]
The potential energy of the reactants is 200J.
From the energy diagram, the energy of the product formed is 350J; this means that, this reaction is an endothermic reaction, because it absorbs energy from its environment.<span />

Calculate the energy of a photon with a frequency of 2.36 x 10-19 Hz.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

energy for photon is calculated in same wasy as for electromagnetic radiation

energy for electromagnetic radiation = hf

where f is the frequency of photon

h is Planck's constant = h = 4.14 × 10−15 eV · s.

thus

energy of photon = 4.14 × 10−15 eV · s *  2.36 x 10-19 Hz

energy of photon = 9.77 * 10−(-15+ -19) eV

energy of photon = 9.77 * 10−34eV        answer

extremely hot.When a student went to open the car doo , he burned his finger. What two forms of energy were responsible for the
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

radiation and conduction

Explanation:

During a warm summer day, a car became extremely hot. When a student went to open the car door, he burned his fingers. What two forms of energy were responsible for the student burning his fingers?

Solution:

Heat is the transfer of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object. For heat transfer to occur, there have to be a difference in temperature between two objects.  

Heat can be transferred in three ways: by conduction, by convection, and by radiation.

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy between bodies through direct contact. Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through the movement of heat in a liquid or gas. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through thermal emission by electromagnetic waves.

During a warm summer day, The sun makes the car to become hot through energy transfer from the sun to the car. When the student touch the car, there is heat transfer as a result of conduction.

HELP!!! DUE TONIGHT!!
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

K I will attempt

Explanation:

a)

O_2_{(g)}+ 2H_2_{(g)} => 2H_2O_{(l)}\\

b)

1 : 2 : 2 (I don't know if this is what the question wants but it is what I would answer)

c)

Hydrogen because it requires 2 moles of H2 to react with 1 mole of O2

d)

24 moles of water. Look at stoichiometric coefficient. 2:2 means 24 moles you get 24 moles

e)

Oxygen. 2 < 5/2. Remember, 1 mole of O2 requires 2 moles of H2. But 5/2 is still greater than 2

f)

First, let's find out how many moles of water we can get. Since O2 is the limiting reactant, and O2:H2O ratio is 1:2, we will get 4 moles of H2O. Then, we can multiply 4 by Avogadro's number which is 6.022*10^{23} to get the number of molecules. We get: 2.41 * 10^24 molecules of water.
