A community in Texas broadcasts public service announcements on tornado safety right before spring. Why is this the most effecti

ve time to do so?
a)

It is the time of year when the temperature contrast is greatest between colliding polar and tropical air masses over the central United States.


b)

It is the time of year when the temperature contrast is the least between colliding tropical air masses over the central United States.


c)

It is the time of year when the temperature contrast is the least between colliding polar and tropical air masses over the central United States.


d)

It is the time of year when the temperature contrast is greatest between colliding tropical air masses over the central United States.

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

Tornadoes are usually defined as those large violent storms that occur in the mid-latitude region, where the north-moving warm and moist tropical air mass collides with the south-moving cold and dry polar air mass.

In the United States, there occur frequent and severe storms during the time of spring season, which includes the months of April, May, and June.

So, before the starting of the spring season, it is the best time of the year for the communities in the city of Texas to broadcasts public service announcements on the possible occurrence and effects of tornadoes.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Answer:

the answer is d.

Explanation:

usually when there is a great variance in storm fronts, the cooler atmosphere and warmer weather on land collide to create more storms...hence tornados, etc....

Which atom in each pair has the larger atomic radius?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

1. Potassium, K.

2. Calcium, Ca.

3. Gallium, Ga.

4. Carbon, C.

5. Bromine, Br.

6. Barium, Ba.

7. Silicon, Si.

8. Gold, Au.

Explanation:

Atomic radius can be defined as a measure of the size (distance) of the atom of a chemical element such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen etc, typically from the nucleus to the valence electrons. The atomic radius of a chemical element decreases across the periodic table, typically from alkali metals (group one elements such as hydrogen, lithium and sodium) to noble gases (group eight elements such as argon, helium and neon). Also, the atomic radius of a chemical element increases down each group of the periodic table, typically from top to bottom (column).

Additionally, the unit of measurement of the atomic radius of chemical elements is picometers (1 pm = 10 - 12 m).

1. Li or K: the atomic radius of lithium is 167 pm while that of potassium is 243 pm.

2. Ca or Ni: the atomic radius of calcium is 194 pm while that of nickel is 149 pm.

3. Ga or B: the atomic radius of gallium is 136 pm while that of boron is 87 pm.

4. O or C: the atomic radius of oxygen is 48 pm while that of carbon is 67 pm.

5. Cl or Br: the atomic radius of chlorine is 79 pm while that of bromine is 94 pm.

6. Be or Ba: the atomic radius of berryllium is 112 pm while that of barium is 253 pm.

7. Si or S: the atomic radius of silicon is 111 pm while that of sulphur is 88 pm.

8. Fe or Au: the atomic radius of iron is 156 pm while that of gold is 174 pm.

What is the mass in grams of KBr in 0.400 L of a 0.350 M solution???
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 16.7 g of KBr

Explanation:

Data

mass KBr = ? g

Volume = 0.400 L

Concentration = 0.350 M

Formula

Molarity = moles / volume

moles = molarity x volume

Process

moles = (0.350)(0.400)

          = 0.14

MW KBr = 39 + 80 = 119 g

                                  119 g of KBr --------------------  1 mol

                                   x                 --------------------   0.14 mol

                                   x = (0.14 x 119) / 1

                                   x = 16.7 g of KBr

Be sure to answer all parts. Write the balanced equations corresponding to the following rate expressions: a) rate = − 1 3 Δ[CH4
Alinara [238K]

Answer : The balanced equations will be:

(a) 3CH_4+2H_2O+CO_2\rightarrow 4CH_3OH

(b) 2N_2O_5\rightarrow 2N_2+5O_2

(c) 2H_2+2CO_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2CO_3

Explanation :

The general rate of reaction is,

aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD

Rate of reaction : It is defined as the change in the concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

The expression for rate of reaction will be :

\text{Rate of disappearance of A}=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}

\text{Rate of disappearance of B}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of C}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of D}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}

Rate=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}

From this we conclude that,

In the rate of reaction, A and B are the reactants and C and D are the products.

a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficient of A, B, C and D respectively.

The negative sign along with the reactant terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the reactant is decreasing and positive sign along with the product terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the product is increasing.

Now we have to determine the balanced equations corresponding to the following rate expressions.

(a) Rate=-\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[CH_4]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[H_2O]}{dt}=-\frac{d[CO_2]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{4}\frac{d[CH_3OH]}{dt}

The balanced equations will be:

3CH_4+2H_2O+CO_2\rightarrow 4CH_3OH

(b) Rate=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[N_2O_5]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[N_2]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}

The balanced equations will be:

2N_2O_5\rightarrow 2N_2+5O_2

(c) Rate=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[H_2]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[CO_2]}{dt}=-\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[H_2CO_3]}{dt}

The balanced equations will be:

2H_2+2CO_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2CO_3
