Lessons 17 and 19

Lesson 17

In lesson 17 we learned about the ideal gas law. The equation for this law is pictured below. You can also rearrange the equation to solve for any variable. R is the constant in this law and is always equal to 0.082. n is the variable representing the number of moles.

Practice Problems

 

Lesson 19

In lesson 19 we learned about hurricanes. Hurricanes are composed of large winds and heavy rain. They form when warm water evaporates into the atmosphere. The severity of a hurricane is measured on a scale of 1-5, 1 is the lowest and 5 is the most severe. There is a picture below that describes how storms turn into hurricanes.

Practice Problem

1. Hurricanes form over warm oceans and it must be at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit with lots of moisture in the air.
