Some substances evaporate more easily than other because they?
have weaker intermolecular forces, which allow the molecules to escape into the gas phase more readily.
How does carbon dioxide in earths atmosphere allow earth to support life?
I don't even know lol
How does too much CO2 in the atmosphere effect the climate?
CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere will make the climate hotter because it acts like a 'greenhouse' or blanket as it insulates heat in the atmosphere. CO2 allows heat to pass into the atmosphere but it doesn't allow heat to pass out into space. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere would trap the heat in the atmosphere, causing climate change.
What are the characteristics properties of earth that make life possible as we know it?
First of all, we are in what the scientists call the 'Goldilocks zone' because we are in the small region of space which is cold enough to hold water without it boiling, and warm enough to allow it to stay a liquid. Secondly, there is the atmosphere which contains 20% oxygen, allowing is to breathe and 78% Nitrogen, 1% Argon, 0.04% Carbon dioxide and various other gases. The atmosphere also blocks harmful radiation from the sun, such as the ozone layer blocking much Ultra violet radiation from reaching us. This atmosphere also prevents meteors from hitting the earth, producing shooting stars. There is also the abundance of plants which use the light from the sun to photosynthesise and produce oxygen, enriching our atmosphere. It is thought that if plants were to be put on Saturn's moon Titan, the mainly nitrogen atmosphere would begin to contain oxygen and therefore allow life to develop.
The layer of the atmosphere that contains the ionosphere is the?
The layer of the atmosphere that contains the ionosphere is the thermosphere. This region is located between the mesosphere and the exosphere and is known for its high temperatures and the presence of ionized particles that allow for the reflection of radio waves.
Does the atmosphere allow heat to escape quickly in order to cool the planet?
No the atmosphere does not allow heat to escape quickly to cool the planet
What is the name scientist give to the ingredient in your atmosphere that allows light and heat in but does not allow heat to escape?
biotonic gas
Why should a spacecraft be space-tight?
Any suddenly opening appearing in the skin of the spacecraft would allow the atmosphere inside the craft to escape out into space - causing decompression.
What in a drill that allow chips to escape?
the chip escape route
How do you take out remaining refrigerant out of AC in 1995 Chevy Suburban?
Not wanting to allow the freon to escape into the atmosphere, you would need a garage equipped with an AC recovery system to recover the freon for you.
What condition will allow water to evaporate?
The continuous movement of water molecules can lead some molecules at the surface to escape in the atmosphere as a gas. High temperature and low pressure favors evaporation.
What do microarrays allow scientists to do?
With a micro array , scientists can examine how active thousands of genes are.
What membrane components allow movement of non-polar substances across membrane?
Integral proteins allow movement of non-polar substances across membranes.
What does a one-Angstrom microscope allow scientists see?
It allows scientists to see patterns in matter.
Do electrolytes allow escape of hydrogen gas?
No, electrolytes do not allow the escape of hydrogen gas. Electrolytes are substances that conduct electricity when dissolved in a solvent, such as water. They can facilitate the movement of ions, but they do not directly affect the escape of gas.
What food substances allow for good health?
Poultry
What does an attitude of escape-mindedness allow a captive to do?
Use Situational Awareness to think about, prepare, and plan for escape.
