Which statement accurately describes why air pressure decreases as altitude increases? As you increase altitude the temperature

difference between the layers of the atmosphere causes extreme winds and the air pressure in turn decreases. As you increase altitude, the air particles move around much more quickly because they have to travel further distances which decreases their pressure. As you increase altitude the temperature is increased and as you heat particles they spread further apart decreasing their pressure. As you increase altitude, Earth's gravity is not acting as greatly as when closer to Earth's surface so the weight of air molecules decrease, which also in turn decreases air pressure.

Answer:

The correct answer is " As you increase altitude, Earth's gravity is not acting as greatly as when closer to Earth's surface so the weight of air molecules decrease, which also in turn decreases air pressure."

Explanation:

As altitude increases air becomes rarefied. At higher altitudes there is less Earth's gravity acting on the air molecules than at areas close the earth surface. Air pressure is the weight of air acting per unit surface area. At higher altitudes as the weight of air decreases due to reduced gravitational pull the air pressure also decreases.

Use the atomic mass of indium to calculate the relative abundance of indium-113.
ASHA 777 [7]

The relative abundance of indium-113 is 4%.

The isotopes are species of the same element having the same atomic number but a different mass number.

The elements occurring in nature exist as multiple isotopes.

When we take into account the existence of these isotopes and their relative abundance (percent), the average atomic mass of that element can be computed, which is given by the following formula,

Average atomic Mass= (%age of isotope 1) x (Mass of isotope 1) + (%age of isotope 2) x (Mass of isotope 2)/100

Indium exists in the form of Indium-113 and Indium-115.

The mass of Indium-113 is 112.90 u.

The mass of Indium-115 is 114.90 u.

The average atomic mass of Indium is 114.82 u.

Let the %age of isotope 1(Indium-113) be X.

Then, the %age of isotope 2(Indium-115) would be 100-X.

Applying the values in the formula,

Average atomic mass = 112.90X+114.90(100-X)

114.82 = 112.90X+114.90(100-X)

On solving the above equation, the value of X comes out to be 4%.

Thus, the relative abundance/%age abundance of Indium-113 is 4%.
