Why would you use a filtering pipet? Used to remove unwanted solid from a liquid -When you want the liquid Why would you use a filter-tip pipet? -to remove solids from very small amounts of liquid by leaving solid behind (as opposed to trapping it) -when you want the solid Why (in exp. 0) do you rinse w/ 1 mL of methanol and 1 mL of hexane? -methanol dissolves and hhexane has a low bp to evaporate liquid What m.p. indicates purity? -a narrow melting point range -an im...

What is an adiabatic process? - answer-Clouds moving up into the atmosphere until the dew point temperature = regular temperature, then a cloud forms, without a transfer of heat How would one normally obtain the environmental lapse rate? - answer-By releasing a radiosonde into the atmosphere What could make the air lift? - answer--Daytime Solar Heating -Advection of Warm Air -Advecting air over warm surface Why are the moist and dry adiabatic rates of cooling different? - answer-The...
