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 :)

Explain why alkanes can be described as hydrocarbons.
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

<h3>The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) defines alkanes as "acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2, and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms". ... The number of carbon atoms may be considered as the size of the alkane.</h3>
