If the temperature increases with increasing altitude in the troposphere, then a temperature inversion exists. All the weather that we are primarily interested in, occurs in the troposphere.

Why does water temperature increase when mixed with Isopropyl?

When isopropyl alcohol is mixed with water, it releases energy due to the solvation process, leading to an overall increase in temperature. This is because energy is released when the intermolecular forces between water molecules and isopropyl alcohol molecules are formed.


Why does physisorption decrease with the increase of temperature?

Physisorption is weaker than chemisorption and is typically dependent on van der Waals forces. As temperature increases, the thermal energy disrupts these weak interactions between the adsorbate and the surface, leading to a decrease in physisorption.


An increase in temperature causes a decrease in the amount of gas able to dissolve in a liquid solvent Why does this occur?

As temperature increases the mean kinetic energy of all particles present increase, allowing for the gases dissolved to evaporate more readily, as they are in a greater state of vibratory motion - that is they are present in a more gaseous form. Phase is determined by the extent of motion of particles, which is determined by the intermolecular forces acting between molecules. An increase in temperature will also increase the motion of dissolved particles by weakening the forces acting between the solute and solvent. This allows the dissolved gases to evaporate out of solution. Hence an increase in temperature corresponds to a decrease in the solubility of gases in liquids. Hope it helps. By Vibs


Is surface tension increases or decreases with increase in temperature?

Surface tension decreases with an increase in temperature. This is because as temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the water molecules also increases, which weakens the intermolecular forces responsible for surface tension.


Why does the solubility of gases increase in liquids on increassing the temperature?

Increasing the temperature of a liquid decreases the solubility of gases in that liquid. This is because higher temperatures disrupt the intermolecular forces between gas molecules and the liquid, allowing the gas molecules to escape into the atmosphere.

Do intermolecular forces increase as temperature rises?

Yes, intermolecular forces generally increase as temperature rises. This is because higher temperatures cause molecules to move faster and collide more frequently, leading to stronger interactions between them.


What is the effect of increase of temperature on surface tension?

An increase in temperature typically decreases surface tension in liquids. This is because higher temperature leads to increased molecular motion, which weakens the intermolecular forces responsible for surface tension.


What forces cause wind to blow at altitude?

In which layer of the atmosphere does most of Earth's weather occur?

Ultimately, major driving forces of weather on earth are uneven heating of the surface and moisture. The vast majority of the moisture in Earth's atmosphere is in the troposphere. The amounts in other layers are generally inconsequential. The troposphere is also the only layer that interacts directly with Earth's surface and is impacted by surface temperature, moisture content and the terrain. The other layers do not encounter such varied environments and so are realtively uniform compared to the troposphere.


How do tsunamis relate to the troposphere?

The don't. The troposphere is the layer of earth's atmosphere where most weather occurs. Tsunamis are triggered by forces within the earth, completely unrealted to the weather.


does solid to gas increase or decrease tempearture?

When a solid changes to a gas (sublimation), it absorbs energy from its surroundings, leading to a decrease in temperature. The energy is used to break the intermolecular forces holding the solid together, rather than raising the temperature.

What happens to the solubility of gases with the increase in temperature?

The solubility of gases generally decreases with an increase in temperature. This is because elevated temperatures disrupt the intermolecular forces holding the gas molecules in the liquid solvent, making it easier for the gas to escape into the atmosphere.


If you increase the pressure the boiling point will increase or remain same?

If you increase the pressure, the boiling point of a substance will increase. This is because higher pressure leads to stronger intermolecular forces, requiring more energy to overcome them for the substance to boil.

The tendency of the molecules of a liquid at a given tepmpature to evaporate as a result of radom molecular motion?

This is known as vapor pressure. It is influenced by factors like temperature, intermolecular forces, and surface area. Higher temperature and weaker intermolecular forces increase the vapor pressure of a liquid.


How can temperature affect the formation of a solution?

Temperature can affect the solubility of a solute in a solvent. Generally, an increase in temperature can increase the solubility of solids in a solvent, while it can decrease the solubility of gases in a solvent. This is because higher temperatures provide more energy for the solute particles to overcome intermolecular forces and dissolve in the solvent.
