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.

A block of metal has a width of 3.2 cm , a length of 17.1 cm , and height of 4.6 cm . Its mass is 1.4 kg . Calculate the density
dsp73

The Density of  the metal  is 5.6 g/cm³

<h3>What is the density of a substance?</h3>

The density of a substance is the ratio of the mass and the volume of the substance.

  • Density = mass/volume


The density of the metal is calculated as follows:

mass of metal = 1.4 kg = 1400 g

volume of metal = 3.2 * 17.1 * 4.6 = 251.712 cm³

Density of metal = 1400 g/251.712 cm³

Density of the metal  = 5.6 g/cm³

Therefore, the density of the metal is obtained from the mass and the volume of the metal.

A substance has half the number of particles as 12 grams of carbon 12, how many moles are in the substance?
gavmur [86]

the molar mass is how many grams it takes to make a full mole.  The number  in carbon 12 tells us that it takes 12 g to makes a mole, so one half of that would be <u><em>option d, 0.5</em></u>.
