What are downbursts?

Chemistry
1 answer:
katovenus [111]3 years ago
3 0
Downbursts are damaging winds<span> localized in an area which are caused by air that flows downward rapidly out from a thunderstorm. They can cause severe damage to infrastructures and can cause casualties when not prepared. This becomes worse as these types penetrate in areas near the ground. </span>

1. A sample of polystyrene is found to have a number-average molar mass of 89,440 g mol−1 . Neglecting contributions from end gr
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The weight-average molar mass of polystyrene is 134,160 g/mol.

Explanation:

Molar mass of the monomer styrene , C_8H_8, M=104 g/mol

Given , number average molar mass of the polymer , M'= 89,440 g/mol

Degree of polymerization = n

n=\frac{M'}{M}=\frac{89,440 g/mol}{104 g/mol}=860

The weight-average molar mass = M_{avg}=?

Molar mass dispersity is ratio of weight-average molar mass to the number average molar mass of the polymer.

\text{Molar mass dispersity}=\frac{M_{avg}}{M'}

1.5=\frac{M_{avg}}{89,440 g/mol}

M_{avg}=89,440 g/mol\times 1.5 = 134,160 g/mol

The weight-average molar mass of polystyrene is 134,160 g/mol.

Why are halogens reactive?
erica [24]

<u>Halogens are reactive because:</u>

They have high electronegativity and also high nuclear charge. So, they are reactive and also gain an electron when they react with other elements.

Since they are very reactive, halogens are very harmful to living organisms. Some of the halogens are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine. These are mostly non metals. Fluorine is one of the most reactive gas and also very toxic gas. When Fluorine reacts with glass along with small amounts of water, it forms silicon tetra fluoride (SiF4). Hence fluorine should be handled with substances like the inert organofluorine compound Teflon.

In lab you reacted 60 grams of propane (C3H8) with 13 grams of oxygen gas (O2). Your
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

120g

Explanation:

Based on the reaction, when 1 mole of propane and 5 moles of oxygen react, 3 moles of CO2 and 4 moles of H2O are produced. The ratio of production is 3 moles of CO2 per 4 moles of H2O.

Thus, we need to convert mass of water to moles using its molar mass:

Moles H2O (Molar mass: 18g/mol):

63g H2O * (1mol / 18g) = 3.5 moles H2O

Converting to moles of CO2:

3.5 moles H2O * (3 moles CO2 / 4 moles H2O) = 2.625 moles CO2

Mass CO2 (Molar mass: 44g/mol):

2.625 moles CO2 * (44g / mol) = 115.5g of CO2 are released

The first-order decomposition of cyclopropane has a rate constant of 6.7 x 10-4 s-1. if the initial concentration of cyclopropan
vaieri [72.5K]
The first order rate law has the form: -d[A]/dt = k[A] where, A refers to cyclopropane. We integrate this expression in order to arrive at an equation that expresses concentration as a function of time. After integration, the first order rate equation becomes:

ln [A] = -kt + ln [A]_o, where,

k is the rate constant
t is the time of the reaction
[A] is the concentration of the species at the given time
[A]_o is the initial concentration of the species

For this problem, we simply substitute the known values to the equation as in:

ln[A] = -(6.7 x 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹)(644 s) + ln (1.33 M) 

We then determine that the final concentration of cyclopropane after 644 s is 0.86 M.

5. A 25 ml graduated cylinder has a volume of water of 10 ml, when a glass marble is place in the
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The volume of the marble is 10 mL.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Volume of water = 10 mL

Rise in water = 10 mL

Volume of marble =.?

From the question given above, the water level rise by 10 mL when a glass marble was placed into the water.

This is equally the volume of the marble as the marble will displace it's volume when placed in the water according to Archimedes' principle.

Therefore,

Rise in water = 10 mL = volume of marble.
