What are some sources of water vapor?
Water vapor can come from any body of water. A glass of water will evaporate and cause water vapor. It is the gaseous phase of water that can be produced from boiling liquid water, evaporation, or the sublimation of ice. Planetary mass objects have ejected water vapor into the atmosphere.
Reasons why airs is a mixture?
Air is not just oxegen in it there is more in it.because it's a mixure of different stuff----------------------------------------------------Yes,it is a mixture because it is made up of a mixture of elements, namely Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapor and some of the noble gases like Neon and Argon.-----------------------------------------------------Air is a mixture of gases - 78% nitrogenand 21% oxygen - with traces of water vapor, carbon dioxide, argon, and various other components.
What pollution is produced from coal?
When you burn coal to generate electricity (or even to heat your home) the gas going up the chimney contains carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrogen, nitrous oxides, sulfur oxides, fly ash and mercury. There is also solid waste ash that must be removed afterwards, though some of this can be used in building. The carbon dioxide and water vapor it emits contributes to greenhouse gases. The other toxic gases pollute the air and are often collected by raindrops and turned into acid rain with the resultant damage to the environment.
Do water vapor molecules weight less than other gases?
Water vapor molecules are heavier than some gasses and lighter than others. The weight is based on their molecular weight which is the total of the atomic weights of the atoms in the molecule. The atomic weight of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons in the atom. Some examples: Oxygen gas (O2) has has a molecular weight of 32 (two oxygen atoms each weighing 16) . Hydrogen gas (H2) is 2 (two hydrogen atoms each weighing 1). Water vapor (H2O) molecules have a molecular weight of about 18. Helium (He) has molecular weight of 18. Carbon Dioxide gas (CO2) is 44.
Is Fog forming an examples of chemical changes?
The formation of fog is a physical change, not a chemical one.
Is steam from a steam train a gas?
No. It is water vapor. It acts similar to gases in some respects, but it is truly water vapor and will add to the atmosphere, when released, as moisture which can then condense and precipitate out, which gases will not do at ambient temperatures.
What are some volcanic gases?
The most common volcanic gas released in an eruption is water vapor. Water vapor is followed by carbon dioxide and sulfur gas.
What are some useful gases?
We use gases every day in our lives. The gases that we use are air, natural gas, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water vapor.
What gases are exchanged in the pulmonary circuit?
generally accepted answer - oxygen gas (O2) and carbon dioxide gas. But also water vapor, some nitrogen, and a lot of other trace gases.
What gases does your atmosphere mostly consist of?
Probably about the same as yours, something like 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, almost 1% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, and some other trace gases. And there's some water vapor.
Why is the earth covered with water?
The earth formed and let of carbon, oxygen, and other gases. Those gases collected and formed the atmosphere. When the Earth cooled, some hydrogen and oxygen bonded to make water vapor. Soon we had lakes, then oceans, and then life.
What do greenhouse gases contain?
The earth's atmosphere contains trace gases, some of which absorb heat. These gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, and nitrous oxide) are referred to as greenhouse gases.
What are the major atmospheric gases of Venus?
there is some sulphuric acid and carbon dioxide with very little water vapor
Where are you most likely to find some of these gases like methane ammonia carbon dioxide sulfur and water vapor today?
I think its the atmosphere
How mush natural gas is in the air?
78 % nitrogen 20,95 % oxygen 0.93 % argon 0.038 % carbon dioxide And some other gases, and about 1% water vapor From: Larsi Search before you ask ;)
What are the gases on earth?
There are many gasses on Earth. Some of the gasses are: oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, neon, helium, water vapor, and methane.
Heat that is lost to space from the earth occurs by?
Some atmospheric gases trap infrared heat radiated by the Earth. They are called greenhouse gases and the process is called the greenhouse effect. Among the gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane.
