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.

The acid-dissociation constant for benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) is 6.3×10−5. Calculate the equilibrium concentration of H3O+ in the s
raketka [301]

Answer : The equilibrium concentration of H_3O^+ in the solution is, 2.1\times 10^{-3}M

Explanation :

The dissociation of acid reaction is:

                       C_6H_5COOH+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^++C_6H_5COO^-

Initial conc.        c                                 0                0

At eqm.             c-x                                 x                x

Given:

c = 7.0\times 10^{-2}M

K_a=6.3\times 10^{-5}

The expression of dissociation constant of acid is:

K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][C_6H_5COO^-]}{[C_6H_5COOH]}

K_a=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(c-x)}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

6.3\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{[(7.0\times 10^{-2})-x]}

x=2.1\times 10^{-3}M

Thus, the equilibrium concentration of H_3O^+ in the solution is, 2.1\times 10^{-3}M

ELEN [110]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The correct mass of nitrogen would be 2.9 g. The mass is calculated by multiplying the density and the volume of the substance. The correct answer should have two significant figures since it is the least precise operation.
