Answer from: mandylo5418

Explanation:

The heating of the Earth's surface and atmosphere by the sun drives convection within the atmosphere and ocean. This convection produces winds and ocean currents. The greater the pressure differences between a low-pressure area and a high-pressure area, the stronger the winds. Convection occurs when the Earth is heated unevenly. The air over the Earth will heat according to how fast the Earth under it heats. That part of the atmosphere that heats faster will expand. Since the volume increases the pressure will drop. This is due to the fact that air masses do not readily mix, so the amount of air remains more or less constant and the volume increases. So the warmer air has a drop in pressure and lower pressure than the surrounding air. The difference in pressure over a distance is called a pressure gradient, and this creates a force called the pressure gradient force (simply that air wants to move from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure), which is the driving force behind wind. So the warm air over the land heats, then expands, and the pressure drops causing the air to rise. Over the water the air is cooler and the air does not expand and the pressure is higher than the land so the air over the water moves to the land. The processes that occur aloft are not really important in understanding what is happening at the surface. So in short, convection (rising air due to heat) lowers surface pressure creating a pressure gradient that tries to correct itself by having air move from higher pressure to the lower pressure area created by the rising air. This correction is wind.

Answer from: Quest

the grams of oxygen gas that can be produced is 20.6 grams of o₂

calculation

2liclo₃ → 2 licl + 3 o₂

step 1: find the moles of liclo₃

moles = mass÷ molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of liclo₃ =6.9 +35.5 +(16 x3) =90.4 g/mol

moles=38.7 g÷90.4 g/mol=0.4281 moles

step 2: use the mole ratio to calculate the moles of o2

from equation above, liclo₃: o₂ is 2: 3

therefore the moles of o₂=0.4281 moles x3/2 =0.6422 moles

step 3: find mass of o₂

mass= moles x molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of o₂ = 16 x2= 32 g/mol

mass=0.6422 moles x 32 g/mol = 20.6 grams of o₂

To understand the behavior of the electric field at the surface of a conductor, and its relationship to surface charge on the conductor. a conductor is placed in an external electrostatic field. the external field is uniform before the conductor is placed within it. the conductor is completely isolated from any source of current or charge. part a: which of the following describes the electric field inside this conductor? it is in the same direction as the original external field.it is in the opposite direction from that of the original external field.it has a direction determined entirely by the charge on its surface.it is always zero. part b: the charge density inside the conductor is: 0non-zero; but uniformnon-zero; non-uniforminfinite part c: assume that at some point just outside the surface of the conductor, the electric field has magnitude e and is directed toward the surface of the conductor. what is the charge density η on the surface of the conductor at that point? express your answer in terms of e and ϵ0
