Why are lightning formed in clouds?

Chemistry
1 answer:
VladimirAG [237]2 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Because opposites attract, the negative charge at the bottom of the storm cloud wants to link up with the ground’s positive charge. Once the negative charge at the bottom of the cloud gets large enough, a flow of negative charge called a stepped leader rushes toward the Earth. The positive charges at the ground are attracted to the stepped leader, so positive charge flows upward from the ground. When the stepped leader and the positive charge meet, a strong electric current carries positive charge up into the cloud. This electric current is known as the return stroke. We see it as the bright flash of a lightning bolt.

Thunder and lightning occur at roughly the same time although you see the flash of lightning before you hear the thunder. This is because light travels much faster than sound

At a certain temperature and pressure, one liter of CO2 gas weighs 1.95 g.
AysviL [449]

Answer:

1.332 g.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas: <em>PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • At the same T and P and constant V (1.0 L), different gases have the same no. of moles (n):

<em>∴ (n) of CO₂ = (n) of C₂H₆</em>

<em></em>

∵ n = mass/molar mass

<em>∴ (mass/molar mass) of CO₂ = (mass/molar mass) of C₂H₆</em>

mass of CO₂ = 1.95 g, molar mass of CO₂ = 44.01 g/mol.

mass of C₂H₆ = ??? g, molar mass of C₂H₆ = 30.07 g/mol.

<em>∴ mass of C₂H₆ = [(mass/molar mass) of CO₂]*(molar mass) of C₂H₆</em> = [(1.95 g / 44.01 g/mol)] * (30.07 g/mol) =<em> 1.332 g.</em>

Which compound is an Arrhenius base?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
I was hoping that some choices would be given to choose from. As there are no choices given, so i am answering the question based on my knowledge and hope that it comes to your help. Calcium hydroxide is a good example of Arrhenius base. An Arrhenius base is actually a substance that releases a hydroxyl ion in water.

How does changing the surface area increase the reaction rate of a chemical change
Anon25 [30]

Effect of increasing surface area on the rate of a reaction. ... Increasing the surface area of a solid reactant exposes more of its particles to attack. This results in an increased chance of collisions between reactant particles, so there are more collisions in any given time and the rate of reaction increases.
