Researchers stationed at different areas on a mountain and in a tunnel midway through the mountain boiled water at the same time. Even though the water at every station was at the same temperature, the pot at the top of the mountain started boiling before the others. Why?
Water boils when the vapor pressure is
the atmospheric pressure. The atmospheric pressure
at the top of the mountain.
Water boils when the vapour pressure is least the atmospheric pressure.
The atmospheric pressure is equal at the top of the mountain.
What is atmospheric pressure?The air around you has weight, and it presses against everything it touches. That pressure is called atmospheric pressure, or air pressure. It is the force exerted on a surface by the air above it as gravity pulls it to Earth.
As we go up in altitude the air pressure becomes less. When the pressure decreases, it takes less energy to get the water molecules to escape the surface. So the temperature is less than it would be at sea level.
Air pressure is higher or greater at the bottom of a mountain. This is because the height of the air above that level is thicker than at the top.
Pressure is given by the equation, P=rho*g*h, where rho is the air density, g is the gravity value and h is the thickness of the air layer on top of the level where we are considering the pressure.
Therefore, as we can see, at the bottom of the mountain, the thickness h of air is greater, and so is the pressure.
Hence, water boils when the vapour pressure is least the atmospheric pressure and the atmospheric pressure is equal at the top of the mountain.

O B. The image of the moon in the sky is incomplete.
OC. The image of the moon on the water's surface is distorted.
OD. The colors on the water's surface match the colors in the sky.
Answer:
The evidence of matter scattering light wave in many different directions is;
D. The colors on the water's surface match the colors in the sky
Explanation:
Light scattering is used to describe the sending of a given beam of light in many directions (by tiny particles) when the light passes through a medium, due to the disruption of the bath of the light ray as it bumps into the tiny particles
Water has the nature of absorbing the red light. The light that enters the water is scattered by the tiny particles in the water such that the blue light which is the spectrum of light water allows to pass through is reflected along with the reflection of the sky and the colors of the water surface match the colors of the sky.

Explain the process of ionic bond formation between K
(potassium, a metal) and Br (bromine, a nonmetal).
I
Answer:
Metals transfers electrons to nonmetals. So K transfers one electron to Br because K is located at 1A in the periodic table. Br has seven electrons, now both K and Br are stable by gaining and losing one electron. The transfer of electrons makes metals to become positive ions and nonmetal to become negative ions. When an ionic bond is formed, the charges attract each other.
Answer: Metals transfers electrons to nonmetals. Potassium -K transfers one electron to bromine- Br because K is located in group 1A on periodic table. Br has seven electrons and located group 7A. Both K and Br stable by gaining and losing one electron. The transfer of electrons makes metals to become + positive ions and nonmetal to become - negative ions. An ionic bond is formed, the charges attract each other.
Explanation: Metals donate, or transfer, electrons to the nonmetal.
The transfer of electrons creates a positive ion and a negative ion.
An ionic bond is formed when the charges attract each other.

Our Sun will eventually turn into a red giant and, finally, a white dwarf. Use the Hertzsprung-Russell
diagram to describe how the Sun's luminosity and temperature will change as it goes through these
stages.
Our Sun will eventually turn into a red giant in the cooler temperature and high luminosity and in the white dwarf phase has a hot temperature & dim luminosity.
What is Hertzsprung-Russell diagram?In astronomy, the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, often known as the H-R diagram, is a graph that plots the absolute magnitudes (intrinsic brightness) of stars against their spectral classifications (temperatures).
From the given diagram it is clear that when sun turns into a red giant then the temperature decreases and luminosity increases as it becomes large in size. And when it finally become a white dwarf then temperature comparatively increases and luminosity gets dim due to smaller size.
Hence in the red giant phase sun has a cooler temperature and high luminosity and in the white dwarf phase has a hot temperature & dim luminosity.

What conversion factors
determine the number of
molecules from the mass of a
compound?
Answer: Multiply the mass by the inverse of molar mass, and then multiply by Avogadro's number.
Explanation: Convert the mass to moles, multiply the number of moles by the ratio of the number of atoms or ions to one mole, multiply by Avogadro's number.
1. To calculate the molarity of a solution, you need to know the moles of solute and the
O volume of the solvents
O mass of the solution
O volume of the solution
volume of the solute
Answer:
O volume of the solution
Explanation:
Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.
Formula:
Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in L
For example:
if we dissolve the 1 mole of NaCl to make the solution of volume 2 L. The molarity of solution is,
M = 1 mol / 2 L
M = 0.5 M
A sample of gas has a volume of 20.0 mL at STP. What will the volume be if the temperature is changed to 546 K and the pressure is changed to 2.0 atm.? (show work plz)
The volume did not change, it remained at 20 ml
Further explanationGiven
20 ml a sample gas at STP(273 K, 1 atm)
T₂=546 K
P₂=2 atm
Required
The volume
Solution
Combined gas Law :
[tex]\tt \dfrac{P_1.V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2.V_2}{T_2}[/tex]
Input the value :
[tex]\tt \dfrac{1\times 20}{273}=\dfrac{2\times V_2}{546}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{1\times 20\times 546}{273\times 2}\\\\V_2=20~ml[/tex]
The volume does not change because the pressure and temperature are increased by the same ratio as the initial conditions (to 2x)
What is the atomic number of an element that has seven protons and eight neutrons and seven electrons?
Answer:
Nitrogen has an atomic number of 7 (Z=7) because it has 7 protons in its nucleus. Some nitrogen atoms have an atomic mass number of 15 (A=15). A is the number of neutrons plus protons in the nucleus. However, we already know that there are 7 protons
Answer:
Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons
Atomic number = 7
