<span>The correct option is A. The atmosphere is divided into four layers, which are troposphere, stratosphere, mesophere and thermosphere. In all these layers, temperature changes with changes in altitude. Of all these atmospheric layers, mesophere is the coldest; temperature in mesophere decreases with increasing altitude to about -100 degree Celcius.</span>

Answer:

A). The mesophere has a lower temperature than the thermosphere.

Explanation:

At the mesophere,  the temperature decreases with height, reaching a minimum of about -90°C at the "mesopause".  As we rise up in the mesophere, the temperture becomes colder and colder. Above the mesophere is the thermosphere, where variations in the sun's energy have a powerful influence on both the height of the top layer of the thermosphere and the temperature within it. Because of this, temperatures of the upper layer of thermosphere can vary from 500° C (932° F) to 2,000° C (3,632° F) or higher.

Calculate the energy released in each of the following fusion reactions. Give your answers in MeV. (a) 2H + 3H → 4He + n 17.54 C
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

a) E = 17.55 MeV

b) E = 18.99 MeV

c) E = 3.29 MeV

d) You can use the methods applied for the other parts to solve this, the equation is not properly written

e) E = 4.075 MeV

Explanation:

Energy Released, E = \triangle M * 931.5

\triangle M = \sum M_{product} - \sum M_{reactant}

Mass of 1H, M_{H} = 1.007823

Mass of 2H, M_{2H} = 2.0141u

Mass of 3H, M_{3H} = 3.016 u

Mass of Helium, M_{4He} = 4.002602u

Mass of Beryllium, M_{7Be} = 7.01693 u

Mass of neutron, M_{n} = 1.008664 u

a) 2H + 3H \rightarrow 4He + n

\triangle M = (4M_{He} + M_{n} ) - (2M_{H} + 3 M_{H} )\\\triangle M = ( 4.0026 + 1.008664) - (2.0141 + 3.016 )\\\triangle M = -0.01884u

Energy released,

E = -0.01884 * 931.5\\E = -17.55 Mev

Energy released = 17.55 MeV

b) 4He + 4He \rightarrow 7Be + n

\triangle M = (M_{7Be} + M_{n} ) - (M_{4He} +  M_{4He} )\\\triangle M = ( 7.01693 + 1.008664) - (4.002602 + 4.002602 )\\\triangle M = 0.02039 u

Energy released,

E = 0.02039 * 931.5\\E = 18.99 Mev

c) 2H + 2H \rightarrow 3 He + n

\triangle M = (M_{3He} + M_{n} ) - (M_{2H} +  M_{2H} )\\\triangle M = ( 3.016 + 1.008664) - (2.0141 + 2.0141 )\\\triangle M = -0.003536 u

Energy released,

E = -0.003536 * 931.5\\E = -3.29 Mev

E = 3.29 MeV(Energy is released)

d) You can use the methods applied for the other parts to solve this, the equation is not properly written

e) 2H + 2H \rightarrow 3H + 1H

\triangle M = (M_{3H} + M_{1H} ) - (M_{2H} +  M_{2H} )\\\triangle M = ( 3.016 + 1.007825) - (2.0141 + 2.0141 )\\\triangle M = -0.00435 u

E = -0.00435 * 931.5\\E =-4.075 Mev

E = 4.075 MeV ( Energy is released)

Calculate the mass of nitric acid required to make a 250mL solution with 2.40 ph
meriva

The mass of nitric acid required to make the given solution is 0.0627 g.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Volume of the acid, V = 250 mL</em>
  • <em>pH of the acid, = 2.4</em>

The hydrogen ion (H⁺) concentration of the nitric acid is calculated as follows;

H^+ = 10^{-pH}\\\\H^+ = 10^{-2.4}\\\\H^+ = 0.00398

The molarity of the nitric acid is calculated as follows;

=  0.00398 \ H^+ \times \frac{1 \ M \ HNO_3}{1 \ H^+} \\\\= 0.00398 \ M

The number of moles of the nitric acid is calculated as follows;

moles = M\times L\\\\moles = 0.00398\ M \ \times \ \frac{250 \ mL}{1000} \\\\moles = 9.95 \times 10^{-4} \ mol.

The molar mass of nitric acid is calculated as;

HNO_3 = (1) \ + (14) \ + (16 \times 3) = 63 \ g/mol

The mass of the nitric acid contained in the calculated number of moles is calculated as;

mass = moles\  \times \ molar \ mass\\\\mass = 9.95\times 10^{-4} \ mol. \ \times \ 63 \ g/mol\\\\mass = 0.0627 \ g

Thus, the mass of nitric acid required to make the given solution is 0.0627 g.
