Hurricanes can travel for thousands of miles over warm water, but rapidly they lose their strength when they move over a large land mass or over cool water. Why? Explain by selecting all true statements. O As the amount of water vapor in the storm decreases, its energy decreases. Water condenses from moist air when it cools. O Moisture in the air "powers" hurricanes. As the amount of water vapor in the storm increases, its energy decreases. Water evaporates from moist air when it cools.

General Zod has sold Lex Luthor what Zod claims to be a new copper-colored form of kryptonite, the only substance that can harm Superman. Lex, not believing in honor among thieves, decided to carry out some tests on the supposed kryptonite. From previous tests, Lex knew that kryptonite is a metal having a specific heat capacity of 0.082 J/gC and a density of 9.2 g/cm3. Lex Luthers first experiment was an attempt to find the specific heat capacity of kryptonite. He dropped a 10 g 3 g sample of the metal into a boiling water bath at a temperature of 100.0C 0.2C. He waited until the metal had reached the bath temperature and then quickly transferred it to I 00 g 3 g of water that was contained in a calorimeter at an initial temperature of 25.0C 0.2C. The final temperature of the metal and water was 25.2C. Based on these results, is it possible to distinguish between copper and kryptonite? Explain. When Lex found that his results from the first experiment were inconclusive, he decided to determine the density of the sample. He managed to steal a better balance and determined the mass of another portion of the purported kryptonite to be 4 g 1 g. He dropped this sample into water contained in a 25-mL graduated cylinder and found that it displaced a volume of 0.42 mL 0.02 mL. Is the metal copper or kryptonite? Explain. Lex was finally forced to determine the crystal structure of the metal General Zod had given him. He found that the cubic unit cell contained four atoms and had an edge length of 600. pm. Explain how this information enabled Lex to identify the metal as copper or kryptonite. Will Lex be going after Superman with the kryptonite or seeking revenge on General Zod? What improvements could he have made in his experimental techniques to avoid performing the crystal structure determination?
