Answer:

According to scientists , water occupies up to 60 % of the human body .

The importance of water in the human body are ;

  • Transport
  • Formation of bodily fluids i.e. saliva
  • Digestion
  • Regulates body temperatures
  • Circulation of nutrients

Explanation:

The reason why it is important to maintain good fluid balance within and without he cells is because , It can dissolve various elements to make then easily absorbed into other system .There are many fluids which rely on water for volume e.g. blood which is the main component of the circulatory systems , water also regulates the temperature  and heart pressure ,

Through electrolysis , fluid balance in the cells can be achieved and it also helps to generate nerve impulses  .

After cooking the hot dogs, your friend's mom reminds you not to leave the grill out, or the iron (Fe) in the grill will react w
sammy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxygen gas and water must be present for iron to rust.

A region of the metal’s surface serves as the anode, where oxidation

occurs:

Fe(s) → Fe²⁺ (aq) + 2 e⁻

The electrons given up by iron reduce atmospheric oxygen to water at the cathode, which is another region of the same metal’s surface:

O₂ (g) + 4H⁺ (aq) + 4 e⁻ → 2 H₂O (l)

The overall redox reaction is:

2 Fe(s) + O₂(g) → 4H⁺(aq) + 2Fe²⁺ (aq) + 2 H₂O(l)

The Fe²⁺ ions formed at the anode are further oxidized by oxygen:

4 Fe²⁺ (aq) + O₂(g) 1 (4 + 2x) H₂O (l) → 2 Fe₂O₃ . xH₂O(s) + 8 H⁺(aq)

This hydrated form of iron(III) oxide is known as rust. The amount of water associated with the iron oxide varies, so we represent the formula as 2 Fe₂O₃ . xH₂O.

Why is there a delay for the tides to react to the Moon's and Sun's gravitational effect?
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: the moon causes the water tide

Explanation: The Moon exerts over twice the gravitational pull of the Sun on Earth's tides because of its proximity to Earth. -The lunar tidal bulges are about twice the size of the solar tidal bulges. -The Sun's contribution to the tides is less than that of the Moon.
