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

Consider the reaction:
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

K = Ka/Kb

Explanation:

P(s) + (3/2) Cl₂(g) <-------> PCl₃(g) K = ?

P(s) + (5/2) Cl₂(g) <--------> PCl₅(g) Ka

PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g) <---------> PCl₅(g) Kb

K = [PCl₃]/ ([P] [Cl₂]⁽³'²⁾)

Ka = [PCl₅]/ ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)

Kb = [PCl₅]/ ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])

Since [PCl₅] = [PCl₅]

From the Ka equation,

[PCl₅] = Ka ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)

From the Kb equation

[PCl₅] = Kb ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])

Equating them

Ka ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾) = Kb ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])

(Ka/Kb) = ([PCl₃] [Cl₂]) / ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)

(Ka/Kb) = [PCl₃] / ([P] [Cl₂]⁽³'²⁾)

Comparing this with the equation for the overall equilibrium constant

K = Ka/Kb

Why is one side of the moon called "the dark side of the moon"?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

The answer is option C or "The amount of time it takes to rotate around it's axis is the same amount of time it takes to revolve around Earth."Remember that the Earth and the Moons amount of time to make a full rotation is almost in sync and they're two sides of the moon, one side we do not see and that's because that side is currently faced away from the Earth which is called the dark side of the moon. Each side has two weeks oh night, and two weeks of day because of how long it takes the moon to revolve, so while we have a side towards the Earth which is illuminated by the sun we have another pointing away in the dark.

Hope this helps.

State the oxidation number assigned to each bold element in the formula: NH4+1 a 3 b -3 c -1 d 6
Leya [2.2K]
The fomula is NH4 (1+)


There are only two elements N and H.


As per oxidation state rules, the most electronegative element will have a negative oxidation state and the other element will have a positive oxidation state.


N is more electronative than H, so H will have a positive oxidation state and nitrogen will have a negative oxidation state.


You can also use the rule that states the hydrogen mostly has 1+ oxidation state,except when it is bonded to metals.


In conclusion the oxidation state of H in NH4 (1+) is 1+.


Now you must know that the sum of the oxidations states equals the charge of the ion, which in this case is 1+.


That implies that 4* (1+)  + x =   1+


=> x = (1+) - 4(+) = 3-


Answer:  the oxidation state of N is 3-, that is the option b.

Y-Chart<br> Explain how an invasive species can influence each aspect of an ecosystem.
Katen [24]

Answer:

Invasive species are an organism that causes ecological or economic harm in a new environment where it's not native.

Explanation:

An invasive species can harm both the natural resources in the ecosystem as well it threaten the human use of these resources and invasive species can be introduced to a new area via the ballast water of oceangoing ships, intentional and accidental releases of aquaculture species, aquarium specimens or bait, and etc.

Invasive species is capable of causing extinctions to native plants and animals, reducing biodiversity, competing with native organisms for limited resources, and altering habitats. This can also result a huge economic impacts and fundamental disruptions of coastal and the great lakes of the ecosystems.

I hope it helps you.
