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 :)

Modify isoleucine, below, to show its structure at pH 1 and pH 13.

I have attached the answer

remember that when the solution is acidic, pH lower than 7. there are extra H+ that the amino acid can take. the basic part of the amino acid takes this extra hydrogen (the nitrogen).

when the pH is higher than 7, basic, there are not much H+ available. the amino acid loses a H+. the acid part of the amino acid loses the H (the carboxylic part).

If you remove the cap of a bottle of a soft drink carbon dioxide escapes the soft drink but the soft drink is still a solution.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

Removing the cap from a soft drink bottle releases pressure and causes the excess carbon dioxide molecules to come out as bubbles. however the drink is still supersaturated , and will release that carbon dioxide till it goes flat
