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 :)

Answer:

Bottle 2 shows the vinegar has a molarity of 2M acetic acid

Explanation:

2M of acetic acid has higher concentration of acetic acid as compared to other vinegar. In 2M of acetic acid is equals to 120 gram of acetic acid in 500 ml of water which is quiet higher than other concentration of acetic acid in vinegar which is 4%. So Mr. Holmes has to use 2M of acetic acid which will produced high intense eruption in the volcano and win the national science fair contest.

What is the pH of a solution when the [OH - ] = 1 x 10 -3
dsp73

Answer:

The pH is 11

Explanation:

Because pH + pOH = 14

and pOH = - log [OH⁻] = - log (1 x 10⁻³) = 3

we can now calculate pH by manipulating equation one above

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 3 = 11

Thus the pH of the solution is 11
