Answer:

Very small cloud droplets of pure water evaporate even when the relative humidity is 100 percent because of the curvature of the droplets surface.

Explanation:

The curvature of a droplet's surface, the molecules present over the surface are much exposed to their surrounding, perhaps less tightly bound by the surface tension force and hence evaporate more speedily than molecules present over the plane surface. For which the saturation vapor pressure of the surface goes up slightly with the curvature of that surface and also with relative humidity. By which the surface is in the equilibrium to more than 100 percent.

Sulfur undergoes combustion to yield sulfur trioxide by the following reaction equation:

12345 [234]

Answer:

Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = (-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J

Explanation:

Given reaction: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

Given: The enthalpy of reaction: ΔH = - 792 kJ

Given mass of S: w₂ = 42.8 g, Molar mass of S: m = 32 g/mol

In the given reaction, the number of moles of S reacting: n = 2

As, Number of moles: $n = \frac{mass\: (w_{1})}{molar\: mass\: (m)}$

∴ mass of S in 2 moles of S: $w_{1} = n \times m = 2\: mol \times 32\: g/mol = 64\: g$

Given reaction: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

In this reaction, the limiting reagent is S

⇒ 2 moles S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

or, 64 g of S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

∴ 42.8 g of S produces (x) amount of heat

⇒ The amount of heat produced by 42.8 g S:

$x = \frac{(- 792\: kJ) \times 42.8\: g}{64\: g} = (-529.65)\: kJ$

$\Rightarrow x = (-5.2965 \times 10^{2})\: kJ = (-5.2965 \times 10^{5})\: J$

$(\because 1 kJ = 10^{3} J)$

Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = (-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J

An airplane travels 2100 km at 1000km/hE. It encounters a wind and slows to 800 km/h E for the next 1300 km. What is the average

Deffense [45]

Answer:

The average velocity of the airplane for this trip is 1684.21 km/h

Explanation:

Average velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time. That is,

Average velocity = $\frac{Displacement }{Change in time}$ = Δx / Δt = $\frac{x2 - x1}{t2 - t1}$

Now we will calculate the time taken by the airplane for the first motion before it encounters a wind.

From,

Velocity = $\frac{Distance traveled}{Time taken}$

Time = $\frac{Distance traveled}{Velocity}$

Therefore, Time = $\frac{2100km }{1000km/h}$

Time = 2.1h

This is the time taken before the airplane encounters a wind.

Hence, t1 = 2.1h

Now, For the time taken by the airplane when it encounters a wind

Also from,

Velocity = $\frac{Distance traveled}{Time taken}$

Time = $\frac{Distance traveled}{Velocity}$

Therefore, Time = $\frac{1300km }{800km/h}$

Time = 1.625h

Hence, t2 = 1.625h

Now, to calculate the average velocity

Average velocity = $\frac{x2 - x1}{t2 - t1}$

x1= 2100, x2= 1300, t1= 2.1h and t2= 1.625h

Hence, Average velocity = $\frac{1300 - 2100}{1.625 - 2.1}$

Average velocity = 1684.21 km/h

Every afternoon, Bill and Anita go down to the beach to fly their kite. They noticed that the wind always blows towards shore. W

EastWind [94]

Answer:

the answer is D

Explanation:

Air over the beach heats up, rises, and is replaced by cool, denser ocean air

The ocean heats up much slower and becomes relatively cooler than the beach making it a high pressure zone. The air moves from the water to the land each morning forming a sea breeze. These pressure zones might equal out later in the day and the winds may diminish. ... A sea breeze blows from the ocean towards the beach.
