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.

Why does H2O have a lower melting point than MgO
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Magnesium Oxide (MgO) has a higher melting point than Sodium Chloride (NaCl) which is around 2,800 degrees Celcius. This is because its Mg2+ and O2- ions have a greater number of charges, and so form stronger ionic bonds, than the Na+ and Cl– ions in Sodium Chloride.

A chemistry student must separate should barium sulfate from the aqueous solution. Equipment and glassware normally found in the
Elan Coil [88]
If there's just some barium put in an aqueous solution, then it should be something like this.
It's a mixture of a solution and an insoluble solid, so the easiest way to go is through filtration. (Also, I'm assuming the barium is cut into very small chips.)

In a line, simply filter the solution using a folded filter paper in a funnel, collect the residue in a beaker or flask, rinse it with distilled water and let it dry. (Or simply filtering it could be enough, depending on how far your teacher wants you to go.)

Stuff needed:
>filter paper (for separating the solid from the solution)
>funnel (to hold the filter paper)
>beaker or flask (to hold the filtrate)
>distilled water (to rinse the solid)
>spatula (to scoop up the solid)

Procedure:
>Fold filter paper and line the funnel with it. Place the funnel in the flask or beaker.
>Pour solution in. Then add water (I think using tap water might be fine in this case, but you can use distilled water if you'd like) to wash out the container with the solution of any solid you may have not gotten in the first try. Alternatively, you could use a spatula to spoon it onto the filter paper.
>Once everything has been filtered, pour some distilled water on the residue on the filter paper to wash away the solution.
>Take out the filter paper, open it up and let it dry.

This can be used in real life in many occasions. For example, when you make tea, you need to filter the leaves out. Or when you cook the pasta, you put it in a sieve to separate the pasta from the water. Or when you fish using fishing nets, you "filter" the fish from the water.

Franco was told that he had mycarditis. He went home and researched the disease, and he determined that he had
Reil [10]

Answer:

Myocarditis = C) Inflammation of the muscular wall of the heart.

Explanation:

Myocarditis is a condition usually caused by a virus.

It causes inflammation within the heart, generally along the muscular wall and within the middle layers.

It's definitely not a great condition. It's possible it could weaken his heart's ability to pump properly, which in turn could effect organs and cause organ failure. It'd lead to intense bouts of pain constantly, swelling, problems breathing, or even heart failure.

Feel bad for Franco.
