Why does your skin feel drier in winter????​

Chemistry

Answer:

There are numerous reasons for having seasonal dry skin. The number one reason though is, Cold air holds less water. When water evaporates, it is drawn into the air, which "holds" it. 

Air can "hold" varying amounts of water. The warmer and drier the air, the more water it can hold. If the air has as much water it can hold, it is "saturated." If saturated air becomes cooler, the air loses some of its water-holding capacity and it has to lose some water, either as fog or rain or frost or possibly snow.

In the winter, the air can’t hold much water, so the air stays pretty dry. That is okay when you are outside, because even though the air is dry, it can’t draw much water from your skin, since its capacity is low anyway. (But if it is windy, you can still get pretty dry.)

The big problem is when you go inside, where the cold dry air is warmed up by the building’s heating system. Then the warm dry air has a huge capacity for water, and it sucks the water out of your skin like a leech.

Hope it helps dear.Please let me know

Answer:

“It's that loss of moisture from upper layers of the skin that causes it to dry out.” Winter air is often dry, and the air that comes out of indoor furnaces can be even worse. However, dry skin can make its mark at other times of the year, too.

When silver nitrate is added to an aqueous solution of magnesium chloride, a precipitation reaction occurs that produces silver
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

m_{AgCl}=64.13gAgCl

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergone chemical reaction turns out:

2AgNO_3+MgCl_2-->2AgCl+Mg(NO_3)_2

In such a way, based on the reacting 21.3 g of magnesium chloride that are consumed the following stoichiometric procedure leads to the required grams of solver chloride precipitate consider their 1 to 2 mole relationship respectively:

m_{AgCl}=21.3gMgCl_2*\frac{1molMgCl_2}{95.211gMgCl_2}*\frac{2molAgCl}{1molMgCl_2}*\frac{143.32gAgCl}{1molAgCl}=64.13gAgCl

Best regards.

What is the yearly exposure from wearing a watch with a luminous dial?
Marizza181 [45]
Until well in the 60ties, the luminous dials of wrist watches and alarm clocks were marked with luminous paints containing Radium (Ra-226) or Promethium (Pm-147). These kind of watches are no longer manufactured today. This is not due to the radiation exposure to the persons wearing the watches but because of the radiological risk for the persons manufacturing them.

Hope this helps
