What is meant by the phrase The air is saturated?

It means that the air is holding as much water vapor as it can at that temperature. Any increase in moisture or decrease in temperature at that point will result in water condensing.


How does calcium carbonate increase atmospheric pollution?

When it is heated, carbon dioxide is formed which is a greenhouse gas. This means that the Earth's atmosphere becomes polluted.


What is a main reason that an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction?

Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules involved. If the temperature increases, then the kinetic energy of the molecules increases and they move faster. Faster moving molecules have more collisions with other molecules and more forcefully. For a reaction to occur, the molecules have to line up correctly and with adequate force. By increasing the speed of the particles, you are increasing the chance that the two molecules will align and produce a reaction.


What effects on density of air if tempecture increase?

A gas (including air) will expand if the temperature increases. That means the same mass of gas will have a larger volume. Since density is mass / volume, that means the density will decrease.


Why does the temperature change give five reason?

the temperature of what? temperature is the measurement of vibration on a molecular/atomic scale so at 0 kelvin anything you could imagine would cause a temperature increase because 0 kelvin is absolute 0 which means on the molecular/atomic scale nothing is moving, so a slight draft would raise the temperature.

Global warming.


What is the temparuture on earth?

the average surface temperature on earth is 59oC (o means degree)


Why does an increase in temperature increase the volume of a balloon?

This requires one simple equation and then a further understanding of it. PV=nRT where P is pressure, V is volume, T is temperature, n is the number of molecule, R is some constant. From this we can easily see that an increase in temperature does in fact cause an increase in volume. To see why lets think about what temperature is. Temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy. So an increase in temperature increases the average kinetic energy. An increase in average kinetic energy means that average velocity must be increased (K.E = .5(mv^2)). More velocity means that the molecules in the balloon are flying faster, and since pressure is the same, the molecules spread out more, which must increase the volume.


Why does dielectric constant decrease with an increase in temperature?

If the temperature increases, the conductivity will increase too which means the dielectric constant is reduced


How does the tilt of earth axis effect the number of daylight hours effect the temperature of a location on earth?

Less light means the temperature falls. With fewer hours of daylight, there is less time for temps to increase at all. The combination produces longer periods of lower temperatures and a breeze or winds increase the cold's effects.


What would be the kinetic energy of particles of gas when it compressed in a cylinder?

When a gas is compressed, its temperature tends to increase. That means that the average kinetic energy per particle also increases.


Why does the release of this carbon dioxide cause an environmental problems?

It causes an increased greenhouse effect. This means that it allows heat in but stops heat from escaping from our atmosphere. This causes and increase in the average temperature of the Earth, causing the ice caps to melt and sea levels to rise.


The increase in temperature with depth in the Earth is called what?

It is called the geothermal gradient, which means that the closer to the mantel or core (underground) you go, the hotter it gets.


What is mean temperature?

The word "mean" means average. The mean temperature is the average temperature. To calculate it you add all the temperatures together and divide by the number of temperatures you added.


How could an increase of burned fuels in the atmosphere raise Earth's temperature?

The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas which absorbs warmth given off from the earth. An increase of burned fuels means that more and more CO2 builds up in the atmosphere, the Earth's temperature is rising.


What is Jupiters highest temperature?

The average surface temperature of Jupiter is around -234 degrees Fahrenheit. This means that the temperature of Jupiter is much colder than Earth because of the planet's distance from the sun.


Is temperature directly or indirectly related to the solubility of sugar in water?

Temperature is directly proportional to solubility, which means that an increase in temperature will also increase the solubility. Sugar will dissolve faster in hot water.
