Name the layers of the atmosphere and one fact about each layer.

1 answer:

6 0

The troposphere is the lowest layer of our atmosphere. Starting at ground level, it extends upward to about 10 km (6.2 miles or about 33,000 feet) above sea)

The stratosphere extends from the top of the troposphere to about 50 km (31 miles) above the ground. The infamous ozone layer is found within the stratosphere.

The thermosphere starts just above the mesosphere and extends to 600 kilometers (372 miles) high. Aurora and satellites occur in this layer.

Mesosphere The mesosphere starts just above the stratosphere and extends to 85 kilometers (53 miles) high. Meteors burn up in this layer.

Exosphere This is the upper limit of our atmosphere. It extends from the top of the thermosphere up to 10,000 km

What effects do winds patterns have on climate

Nezavi [6.7K]

Prevailing winds bring air from one type of climate to another. For example, warm winds that travel over water tend to collect moisture as they travel; the water vapor in the air will condense as it moves into colder climates, which is why temperate coastal areas often receive heavy rainfall.

A student is given a 2.002 g sample of unknown acid and is told that it might be butanoic acid, a monoprotic acid (HC4H7O2, equa

Elina [12.6K]

Answer: The identity of the unknown acid is butanoic acid or ascorbic acid.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Molarity of NaOH solution = 0.570 M

Volume of solution = 39.55 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.570M=\frac{\text{Moles of NaOH}\times 1000}{39.55}\\\\\text{Moles of NaOH}=\frac{0.570\times 39.55}{1000}=0.0225mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of NaOH and monoprotic acid follows:

$NaOH+HX\rightarrow NaX+H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of HX

So, moles of monoprotic acid = 0.0225 moles

The chemical equation for the reaction of NaOH and diprotic acid follows:

$2NaOH+H_2X\rightarrow 2NaX+2H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of diprotic acid

So, moles of diprotic acid = $\frac{0.0225}{2}=0.01125moles$

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

For butanoic acid:

Mass of butanoic acid = 2.002 g

Molar mass of butanoic acid = 88 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of butanoic acid}=\frac{2.002g}{88g/mol}=0.02275mol$

For L-tartaric acid:

Mass of L-tartaric acid = 2.002 g

Molar mass of L-tartaric acid = 150 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of L-tartaric acid}=\frac{2.002g}{150g/mol}=0.0133mol$

For ascorbic acid:

Mass of ascorbic acid = 2.002 g

Molar mass of ascorbic acid = 176 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of ascorbic acid}=\frac{2.002g}{176g/mol}=0.01137mol$

As, the number of moles of butanoic acid and ascorbic acid is equal to the number of moles of acid getting neutralized.

Hence, the identity of the unknown acid is butanoic acid or ascorbic acid.

A solution is created by dissolving 13.5 grams of ammonium chloride in enough water to make 235 ml of solution. how many moles o

erica [24]

Moles = 0.252 Molarity = 1.07 This question is badly worded. You're asking for moles and I suspect you really want molarity. The number of moles of ammonium chloride you have in the solution will remain constant regardless of the volume of the solution. However, the molarity of the solution will differ depending upon how concentrated it is. So I'll give you both the number of moles of ammonium chloride you have, and the molarity of the resulting solution. Please talk to your teacher if you're confused by the difference between moles and molarity. The formula for ammonium chloride is NH4Cl. So let's calculate it's molar mass. Start by looking up the associated atomic weights. Atomic weight nitrogen = 14.0067 Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight chlorine = 35.453 Molar mass NH4Cl = 14.0067 + 4 * 1.00794 + 35.453 = 53.49146 g/mol Moles NH4Cl = 13.5 g / 53.49146 g/mol = 0.252376735 mol Molarity is defined as moles per liter, so let's divide the number of moles we have by the volume in liters. So: 0.252376735 mol / 0.235 l = 1.073943551 M Rounding to 3 significant figures gives: 0.252 moles, 1.07 molarity.
