Answer: During the summer, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a steep angle. ... Also, the long daylight hours allow the Earth plenty of time to reach warm temperatures. During the winter, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a shallow angle. These rays are more spread out, which minimizes the amount of energy that hits any given spot.

During the summer, the sun’s rays hit the Earth at a steep angle. The light does not spread out as much, thus increasing the amount of energy hitting any given spot. Also, the long daylight hours allow the Earth plenty of time to reach warm temperatures
During the winter, the sun’s rays hit the Earth at a shallow angle. These rays are more spread out, which minimizes the amount of energy that hits any given spot. Also, the long nights and short days prevent the Earth from warming up. Thus, we have winter

What makes atoms different than<br> ions?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:the term 'atom' in chemistry represents the basic unit of matter that normally exists in a free state and contains all chemical properties. It is an infinite particle that clearly identifies a chemical element. It consists of a positively charged nucleus and is surrounded by negatively charged electrons.

An ion or charge is an atom or group of atoms that has lost or gained one or more electrons. An ion that has a negative charge, when it gains one or more electrons, is called an anion or negative charge, and an ion that has a positive charge when it loses one or more electrons, is called a cation or positive charge.

Calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of nitric acid from nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen from these
deff fn [24]
The formation of nitric acid from nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen can be written as,

     N₂ + H₂ + 3O₂ --> 2HNO₃

The net enthalpy of formation of nitric acid is calculated by,
   Hrxn = Hproduct - Hreactant

Since all the reactants are in their elemental forms, the simplified equation would be,

    Hrxn = Hproduct 

Substituting,

    Hrxn = (-186.81 kJ/mol)(2 mols)

<em>Answer: -372.42 kJ</em>
