Answer:

The warmer, lighter air rises, bringing cooler, heavier air to low altitudes.

Air at higher altitudes doesn't have as much air weighing down on it from above.

Explanation:

In short - air pressure is the result of the cumulative force that air molecules act on objects below them due to Earth's gravity. The higher the altitude, the less air molecules there are to act a force below them, and therefore, there's less air pressure at higher altitudes.

Answer:

I believe it's the second option "Lighter air molecules float above heavier air molecules

Explanation:

I believe this because as altitude increases the amount of gas molecules decrease which makes the air less dense

Two equilibrium reactions of nitrogen with oxygen, with their corresponding equilibrium constants (Kc) at a certain temperature,

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Kc = 1.54e - 31 / 2.61e - 24

Explanation:

1 ) $N_{2}(gas) + O_{2}(gas)\rightarrow 2NO(gas)$ ; Kc = 1.54e - 31

2) $N_{2}(gas) + 1/2O_{2}(gas)\rightarrow N_{2}O(gas)$ ; Kc = 2.16e - 24

upon reversing ( 2 ) equation

$N_{2}O(gas)\rightarrow N_{2}(gas) + 1/2O_{2}(gas)$ Kc = 1/2.16e - 24

now adding 1 and reversed equation (2)

$N_{2}(gas) + O_{2}(gas)\rightarrow 2NO(gas)$

$N_{2}O(gas)\rightarrow N_{2}(gas) + 1/2O_{2}(gas)$

we get ,

$N_{2}O(gas) + 1/2O_{2}(gas)\rightarrow 2NO(gas)$ Kc = 1.54e-31 × 1/2.61e - 24

equilibrium constant of equation (3) is -

Kc = 1.54e - 31 / 2.61e - 24

What is the study of acid-base chemistry called in the environment

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

An acid is a substance that donates protons (in the Brønsted-Lowry definition) or accepts a pair of valence electrons to form a bond (in the Lewis definition). A base is a substance that can accept protons or donate a pair of valence electrons to form a bond. Bases can be thought of as the chemical opposite of acids.
