How does the average temperature change as the latitude decreases from the poles to the equator

1 answer:

4 0

As the earth is in the form of a sphere, the angle of incidence of the sun's rays at the earth's surface increases from the equator towards the poles and therefore the amount of heat received on a GIVEN AREA diminishes in the same direction. Temperature is therefore normally hottest near the equator and coolest near the poles.

What does 2n² ?denote explain it with the help of two example<br>

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

2n² means 2 × n × n . the power on the n represent the no. of time it is multiplied.

for ex 3x² = 3 × x × x

4x⁴ = 4 × X× X × X× X

PLZ HELP!!

A and B are experiencing winter. The picture which isn't available here in this question is attached below.

Option C.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The earth is tilt by an angle of 23.2° to the vertical plane. This makes the seasonal variation of earth, because in some time of the year, the northern hemisphere faces the sun directly, experiencing summer and then southern hemisphere is away from summer experiencing winter and vice versa. The summer occurs when the place directly faces the sun. And the winter happens when the place obliquely faces the sun or doesn't face the sun at all.

Here in this diagram, we can see that the points A and B are the north pole and the part in northern hemisphere respectively which aren't facing the sun directly, whereas C and D are facing the sun. Thus the southern hemisphere is experiencing summer and the northern hemisphere the winter.

Condensation is a process for which a. ΔG is negative at high temperature but positive at low temperature. b. ΔH and ΔS are nega

IgorC [24]

Answer:

b. ΔH and ΔS are negative at all temperatures .

Explanation:

During the process of condensation ,

The gaseous state convert to liquid state ,

Hence , the entropy of the system reduces , i.e. , the randomness decreases .

And the value for entropy is negative ,

hence ,

Δ S = negative ,

Δ H = negative ,

Since ,

The heat is releasing from system .

hence , the most appropriate option will be ΔH and ΔS are negative at all temperatures .

Define Saturated Solution. What happens as a saturates solution cools?

solong [7]

Saturated solution is a solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in the solvent. When saturated solution cools, the solution began precipitate from the solution, because under lower temperature, usually, less amount solute can be dissolved in the solvent.

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

Sodium sulfate is slowly added to a solution containing 0.0500 M $Ca^{2+}(aq)$ and 0.0390 M $Ag^{+}(aq)$ . What will be the concentration of $Ca^{2+}$ (aq) when $Ag_{2}SO_{4}(s)$ begins to precipitate? What percentage of the $Ca^{2+}(aq)$ can be separated from the Ag(aq) by selective precipitation?
