Which statement best explains why the air pressure is greater at the poles than at the equator

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

At the equator, the altitude is lower, and also because of the direct heating of sun rays on the surface, the temperature is much higher than at the poles. This makes the air near the surface hot and lighter and hence it rises up which results in lower air pressure.

What is the product expressed to the correct number of significant figures?
1.
64 cm2
2.
63.9 cm2
3.
63.86 cm2
4.
63.8564 cm2

Answers

Answer:

2.

63.9 cm2

Explanation:

All non-zero digits are consider significant figures like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Leading zeros are not consider as a significant figures. e.g. 0.06 in this number only one significant figure present which is 6.

Zero between the non zero digits are consider significant like 108 consist of three significant figures.

The zeros at the right side e.g 240000 are also significant. There are six significant figures are present.

When we add or subtract the values the number of significant figures after decimal in result must be equal to the given measurement having less number of decimal places.  For example,

The difference between 7.69 and 4.0.

7.69 - 4.0 = 3.7

When we multiply or divide the values the number of significant figures must be equal to the less number of significant figures in given value.

For example in given q:

Consider a 5.430 g mixture of FeO and Fe3O4. You react this mixture with excess of oxygen to form 5.779 g Fe2O3. Calculate the percent mass of FeO in the original mixture.​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

A 5.430 g mixture of FeO and Fe3O4 is reacted with excess of oxygen to form 5.779 g Fe2O3. Find the masses of FeO and Fe3O4 present in the mixture.

I found the answer by doing the following:

Fe2O3 = 159.69 g/mol

FeO = 71.745 g/mol

Fe3O4 = 231.535 g/mol

5.779 g Fe2O3 / 159.69 g/mol = 0.03619 mol Fe2O3

x + y :rarrow: 0.03619 mol Fe2O3, where x = FeO and y = Fe3O4.

This implies that y = 0.03619 - x.

5.430 g = x*71.745 g/mol + (0.03619 - x)*231.535g/mol

x = 0.01846 mol * 71.745 g/mol = 1.324 g FeO

y = 0.03619 - 0.01846 = 0.01773 mol * 231.535 g/mol = 4.105 g Fe3O4

My question is why doesn't the following work:

4FeO + O2 :rarrow: 2Fe2O3

4Fe3O4 + O2  :rarrow: 6Fe2O3

_______________________

2FeO + 2Fe3O4 + O2 :rarrow: 4Fe2O3

5.779 g Fe2O3 / 159.69 g/mol = 0.03619 mol Fe2O3

Product:reactants in question are in a 2:1 ratio as given by the stoichiometric coefficients.

0.03619 mol / 2 = 0.01810 mol of FeO and 0.01810 mol Fe3O4.

0.01810 mol FeO * 71.745 g/mol = 1.299 g FeO

0.01810 mol Fe3O4 * 231.535 g/mol = 4.191 g Fe3O4

Obviously this doesn't work because the original mixture is 5.430 g and not 1.299 g + 4.191 g = 5.490 g. Why doesn't this work the way I think it should? Thank you.

The heat required to raise the temperature of 12g of water from 16 C to 21 C is:
a) 60 J
b) 60 cal
c) 50 cal
d) 50 J

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

b) 60 cal

Explanation:

The mass of the given water, m = 12 g

The initial temperature of he given water = 16°C

The final temperature of the given water = 21°C

The specific heat capacity of water, c = 4.184 J/(g·°C) = 1 cal/(g·°C)

The amount of heat, ΔQ, required = Mass × Specific heat capacity × Change in temperature

ΔQ = 12 × 4.184 × (21 - 16) = 251.04 J

Similarly, we have;

ΔQ = 12 g × 1 cal/(g·°C) × (21 - 16)°C = 60 cal

The amount of heat required = 60 cal.

Experiment Plan

Answers

Answer:

The experimental plan is to measure the values of the dependent variable, which is the temperature of the pizza after it is cooled in each of the heat (temperature) environments, which is the dependent variable, for a given equal period of time, which is the control

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The temperature of the pizza = 400°F

The temperature of the freezer = 0°F

The temperature of the refrigerator = 40°F

The temperature of the countertop = 78°F

Given that the independent variable = The heat to which the hot pizza is subjected

The dependent variable = The temperature to which the pizza cools down

The experiment plan includes;

1) Place the pizza which is at 400°F in each of the different heat environment, which are, the freezer, the fridge, and the counter top, for the same period of time and record the final temperature of the pizza

2) The option that gives the lowest final temperature within the same time frame is the option that will let the pizza cool down fastest.

What are Terrestrial planets?

The planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are referred to as terrestrial because their surfaces are compact and rocky, similar to Earth's terra firma. The terrestrial planets are the solar system's four innermost planets.

A terrestrial planet, telluric planet, or rocky planet is one that is primarily composed of silicate rocks or metals.

Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are the inner planets in the Solar System that are closest to the Sun and are classified as terrestrial planets by the International Astronomical Union.

Astronomers who use the geophysical definition of a planet may consider two or three planetary-mass satellites, including the Earth's Moon, Io, and occasionally Europa, as terrestrial planets, along with the rocky protoplanet-asteroids Pallas and Vesta.

Thus, the correct option is 3.

Describe what will happen to the pressure of the gas as the plunger is pushed in.

Answers

Answer:

The pressure of gas will increase.

Explanation:

The question above is related to "Boyle's Law." According to this law, provided that the temperature and amount of gas are stable, the absolute pressure of gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

In this sense, if the plunger will be pushed in, the volume of the gas will definitely decrease due to lack of space while the pressure will increase because the molecules of the gas are colliding with each other. The greater the collision, the greater the pressure. This explains the answer above.

4. Calculate the energy (E) and wavelength (1) of a photon of light with a frequency of
6.165 x 1014 Hz.
PLEASE HELP!!

Answers

Answer: E= 4.085 x 10^-19 J ; Wavelength= 4.862 x 10^-7 m

Explanation:

Sorry for the messy work, but I hope this helps.

Remember:

Plancks constant (h)=  6.626x10^-34 Js

Speed of light (c) = 2.998 x 10^8 ms^-1

What I did:

I found the energy first with the given frequency. Don't forget to convert your units to s^-1! They are actually the same, you dont need to do math for that conversion, just a simple Hz to s^-1.

For the wavelength, I multiplied plancks constant (h) and speed of light (c) together. With that number I divided by the energy found which 4.085 x 10^-19J. Also, be sure to cross off the units because it can get very confusing.  

The energy of the photon is 4.08 x 10⁻¹J

The wavelength of the photon is 2.58 x 10⁻ m

The given parameters;

frequency of the photon, f = 6.165 x 10¹⁴ Hz

The energy of the photon is calculated as;

E = hf

where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js

E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴)( 6.165 x 10¹⁴)

E = 4.08 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The wavelength of the photon is calculated as;

v = fλ

where;

v is the speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

[tex]\lambda = \frac{v}{f} \\\\\lambda = \frac{3\times 10^8}{1.165\times 10^{14}} \\\\\lambda = 2.58 \times 10^{-6} \ m[/tex]
