33 types of clouds and locations

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Cirrus

Cirrus cloudsCirrus clouds are delicate, feathery clouds that are made mostly of ice crystals. Their wispy shape comes from wind currents which twist and spread the ice crystals into strands.

Cirrostratus

Cirrostratus cloudsCirrostratus clouds are thin, white clouds that cover the whole sky like a veil. These clouds are most commonly seen in the winter, and can cause the appearance of a halo around the sun or the moon.

Cirrocumulus

Cirrocumulus cloudsCirrocumulus clouds are thin, sometimes patchy, sheet-like clouds. They sometimes look like they’re full of ripples or are made of small grains.

Mid-level Clouds (6,500-23,000 feet)

Altocumulus

Altocumulus cloudsAltocumulus clouds have several patchy white or gray layers, and seem to be made up of many small rows of fluffy ripples. They are lower than cirrus clouds, but still quite high. They are made of liquid water, but they don’t often produce rain.

Altostratus

Altostratus cloudsAltostratus clouds are gray or blue-gray mid-level clouds composed of ice crystals and water droplets. The clouds usually cover the entire sky.

Nimbostratus

Nimbostratus cloudsNimbostratus clouds are dark, gray clouds that seem to fade into falling rain or snow. They are so thick that they often blot out the sunlight.

Low Clouds (less than 6,500 feet)

Cumulus

Cumulus cloudsCumulus clouds look like fluffy, white cotton balls in the sky. They are beautiful in sunsets, and their varying sizes and shapes can make them fun to observe!

Stratus

Stratus cloudsStratus cloud often look like thin, white sheets covering the whole sky. Since they are so thin, they seldom produce much rain or snow. Sometimes, in the mountains or hills, these clouds appear to be fog.

Cumulonimbus

Cumulonimbus cloudCumulonimbus clouds grow on hot days when warm, wet air rises very high into the sky. From far away, they look like huge mountains or towers.

Stratocumulus

Stratocumulus cloudStratocumulus clouds are patchy gray or white clouds that often have a dark honeycomb-like appearance.

Special Clouds

Contrails

(Photo of white streaks of contrails in the sky) Contrails are made by high-flying jet airplanes. They are still clouds, though, because they are made of water droplets condensed from the water vapor in the exhaust of the jet engines.

Weather prediction: Contrails can provide information about the layers of moisture in the sky.

Mammatus clouds

Mammatus cloudsMammatus clouds are actually altocumulus, cirrus, cumulonimbus, or other types of clouds that have these pouch-like shapes hanging out of the bottom. The pouches are created when cold air within the cloud sinks down toward the Earth.

Orographic clouds

Orographic cloudsOrographic clouds get their shape from mountains or hills that force the air to move over or around them. They can also be formed by sea breezes and often appear as lines where two air masses meet.

Lenticular clouds

Lenticular clouds are shaped like lenses or almonds or...flying saucers! They may get their shape from hilly terrain or just the way the air is rising over flat terrain.

2. Find out the enthalpy change of the CH4 from solid Carbon and Hydrogen gas. C (s)+ 2H2 (g)(CH4(g) (H( = ?
Use the following three equations:
C (s)+ O2 (g)(CO2(g) (H( = -393.5 kJ
H2 (g)+1/2 O2 (g)(H2O(l) (H( = -285.8 kJ
CH4 (g)+ 2O2 (g)( CO2(g)+ 2H2O(l) (H( = -890.3 kJ

Answers

Answer:

Approximately [tex]-74.8\; \rm kJ \cdot mol^{-1}[/tex].

Explanation:

Number the three reactions with known enthalpy changes:

[tex]\begin{aligned}& {\rm C\; (s) + O_2\; (g) \to CO_2\; (g)} & \quad \Delta H = -393.5\; \rm kJ\cdot mol^{-1}& \quad (1) \\ & {\rm H_2\; (2) + \frac{1}{2} O_2\; (g) \to H_2O\; (l)} & \quad \Delta H = -285.8\; \rm kJ\cdot mol^{-1} & \quad (2) \\ & {\rm CH_4\; (g) + 2\; O_2\; (g) \to CO_2\; (g) + 2\; H_2O\; (l)} & \quad \Delta H = -890.3\; \rm kJ\cdot mol^{-1} & \quad (3)\end{aligned}[/tex].

The goal is to find a way to combine these three reactions to obtain: [tex]\rm C\; (s) + 2\; H_2\; (g) \to CH_4\; (g)[/tex].

Assume that the three known reactions are combined in this way:

[tex]a \times (1) + b \times (2) + c \times (3)[/tex].

That corresponds to:

[tex]\begin{aligned} & a\; \mathrm{C\; (s)} + \left(a + \frac{1}{2}\, b + c\right) \; \mathrm{O_2\; (g)} + b\; \mathrm{H_2\; (g)} + c\; \mathrm{CH_4\; (g)} \\ & \to (a + c)\; \mathrm{CO_2\; (g)} + (b+ 2\,c )\; \mathrm{H_2O\; (l)}\end{aligned}[/tex].

Compare the coefficients of this reaction with that of the desired reaction:

[tex]\rm C\; (s) + 2\; H_2\; (g) \to CH_4\; (g)[/tex].

Note that some species (e.g., [tex]\rm CH_4\; (g)[/tex]) appeared on the wrong side of the equation. Their desired coefficient should be the opposite of their true coefficient. For example, the coefficient of [tex]\rm CH_4\; (g)[/tex] is supposed to be [tex]1[/tex]. However, because it appeared on the wrong side of the equation, its desired coefficient would be [tex]-1[/tex].

The coefficients of species that are not in the desired equation should be zero.

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}\cline{1-3}\text{Species} & \text{Coefficient}& \text{Desired Coefficient} \\ \cline{1-3} \mathrm{C\; (s)}} & a & 1 \\ \cline{1-3} \mathrm{O_2\; (g)} & a + (1/2)\, b + c & 0 \\ \cline{1-3} \mathrm{H_2\; (g)} & b & 2 \\ \cline{1-3}\mathrm{CH_4\; (g)} & c & -1\\ \cline{1-3} \mathrm{CO_2\; (g)} & a + c & 0 \\ \cline{1-3} \mathrm{H_2O\; (l)} & b + 2\, c & 0\\ \cline{1-3}\end{array}[/tex].

Solve for [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], and [tex]c[/tex]:

[tex]a = 1[/tex].[tex]b = 2[/tex].[tex]c = -1[/tex]. In other words, the third equation is inverted before being added to the other two equations.

In other words, the desired equation is equal to [tex]1 \times (1) + 2 \times (2) - 1 \times (3)[/tex].

By Hess's Law, the enthalpy of the desired equation will be:

[tex]\begin{aligned}& 1\times \Delta H (1) + 2 \times \Delta H (2) - 1\times \Delta H(3) \\ &\approx -393.5 + 2 * (-285.8) - (-890.3) \\ &= -74.8\; \rm kJ \cdot mol^{-1} \end{aligned}[/tex].

Of the following chemical properties , which one is not one that Covalent compounds DO NOT have ?

a
They share electrons between their elements.

b
They have weaker bonds.

c
They have relatviely higher melting and boiling points.

d
Many of these compounds are usallly liquids or gases at room temperature.

Answers

Answer:

D. They are usually liquids or gases at room temperature.

Explanation:

Covalent compounds have covalent bonds, meaning that they share electrons between elements and have relatively higher melting melting and boiling points due to the strength of their bonds. However covalent bonds are weaker than ionic bonds which is why B is correct. D is the only incorrect one because it is incorrect and contradicts point C. If a substance has a high melting/boiling point than it is much more likely to be solid at room temperature because of the high temperature it needs to pass in order to be a liquid or gas.

Answers

Answer:

485 torr

Explanation:

Explanation:

We can solve this equation using the combined gas law:

P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2

Remember, always use the absolute (Kelvin) temperature when working with gas equations.

The temperature conversions are

T1=C+273=35o+273=308K

T2=57C+273=330K

Since we're trying to find the final pressure, let's rearrange this equation to solve for

P2:

P2=P1V1T2/T1V2

Our known values:

P1= 550 torr

V1=350mL

T1=308K

V2=425"mL

T2=330K

Let's plug these into the equation to find the final pressure:

The final pressure after it is subjected to these changes is thus 485torr

How many moles of NH₃ are needed to react in order to form 660. g (NH₄)₂SO₄ according to the following balanced equation: 2 NH₃ + H₂SO₄ --> (NH₄)₂SO₄ *

Answers

Answer:

10moles of NH₃ will produce 660g of (NH₄)₂SO₄

Explanation:

Equation of reaction:

2NH₃ + H₂SO₄ → (NH₄)₂SO₄

2 mole of NH₃ = 1 Mole of (NH₄)₂SO₄

Molar mass of NH₃ = [14 + (3*1)] = 17g/mol

Number of moles = mass / molarmass

Mass = number of mole * molarmass

Mass = 2 * 17 = 34g

Molar mass of (NH₄)₂SO₄ = [(14 + 4)*2 + (32 + 64)

Molar mass of (NH₄)₂SO₄ = 132g/mol

Mass = molar mass * number of moles

Mass = 132 * 1 = 132g

From the equation of reaction,

34g of NH₃ will produce 132g of (NH₄)₂SO₄

34g of NH₃ = 132g of (NH₄)₂SO₄

X g of NH₃ = 660g of (NH₄)₂SO₄

X = (34*660) / 132

X = 170g of NH₃

170g of NH₃ will produce 660g of (NH₄)₂SO₄

Number of moles = mass / molarmass

Molar mass of NH₃ = 17g/mol

Number of moles = 170 / 17

Number of moles = 10moles

Therefore 10moles of NH₃ will produce 660g of (NH₄)₂SO₄
