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.

Any atom is most stable when it’s outermost energy level contains
slamgirl [31]

Explanation:

Atoms are at their most stable when their outermost energy level is either empty of electrons or filled with electrons. Sodium atoms have 11 electrons. Two of these are in the lowest energy level, eight are in the second energy level and then one electron is in the third energy level.

In which of the following reactions does a decrease in the volume of the reaction vessel at constant
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is: A) 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g)

Explanation:

According to the Le Chatelier's principle, change in the volume of the reaction system causes equilibrium to shift in the direction that reduces the effect of the volume change.

When the <u>volume decreases then the pressure of the reaction vessel increases, then the equilibrium shifts towards the reaction side that produces less number of moles of gas.</u>

<u />

A) 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g)

The number of moles of reactant is 3 and number of moles of product is 2.

<u>Therefore, when volume decreases, the equilibrium shifts towards the product side, thereby </u><em><u>favoring the formation of products.</u></em>

B) NO₂(g) + CO(g) → NO(g) + CO₂(g)

The number of moles of reactant and product both is 2.

<u>Therefore, when the volume decreases, the equilibrium does not shift in any direction.</u>

C) H₂(g) + I₂(g) → 2HI(g)

The number of moles of reactant and product both is 2.

<u>Therefore, when the volume decreases, the equilibrium does not shift in any direction.</u>

D) 2O₃(g) → 3O₂(g)

The number of moles of reactant is 2 and number of moles of product is 3.

<u>Therefore, when volume decreases, the equilibrium shifts towards the reactant side, thereby </u><em><u>favoring the formation of reactants.</u></em>

E) MgCO₃(s) → MgO(s) + CO₂(g)

The number of moles of reactant is 1 and number of moles of product is 2.

<u>Therefore, when volume decreases, the equilibrium shifts towards the reactant side, thereby </u><em><u>favoring the formation of reactants.</u></em>
