The simple answer to why Buffalo receives so much snow, and why it is is often confined to a specific area, is lake effect snow.  Lake effect snow occurs most frequently during cold snaps in early winter. It happens when the transfer of heat and moisture from the warm waters of the Great Lakes to the cold air creates a shallow layer of atmospheric instability, causing air to rise quickly. As the moisture rises and condenses, it begins to fall as snow–and often, a lot of snow. Depending on which direction the winds are blowing, areas in the snow belts near the Great Lakes (including Buffalo) can see several feet of snow in just a few days.  According to the National Weather Service, in the Buffalo area, when cold air from Canada moves over the still unfrozen, relatively warm Great Lakes, the lake moisture and instability from this temperature contrast build one or more bands of snow. These bands are then deposited over locations downwind from the lakes, with some areas receiving much more snow than others, depending on their location and the wind direction.

When wood burns, the mass of the ash is less than the mass of the original wood. Yet the law of conservation of matter says that
satela [25.4K]

Explanation:

According to the law of the conservation of mass, 'mass is conserved in a chemical reaction. The mass cannot be created nor be destroyed in a chemical process'.

This law holds true for the burning of wood also. Although the wood burns to produce ash which weighs less than wood but also, it produces some soot and other gases and the sum of the masses of all these is equal to the sum of the masses of wood and oxygen that reacted with it.

If 2.27 moles of bromine react with excess phosphorus, how many moles of phosphorus tribromide will be produced
zalisa [80]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 1.51 moles of PBr₃

Explanation:

Data

moles of Br = 2.27

moles of PBr₃ = x

Balanced chemical reaction

                   2P   +   3Br₂  ⇒   2PBr₃

             Reactant      Element     Products

                   2                  P                 2

                   6                  Br                6

-Use proportions to find the answer

              3 moles of Br₂ ------------------  2 moles of PBr₃

         2.27 moles of Br₂ ------------------  x

               x = (2.27 x 2) / 3

               x = 4.54 / 3

              x = 1.51 moles
