Answer:

If the earthworm's skin dries then they will not breath properly because moisture help them out to ease the diffusion of oxygen through its skin.

Explanation:

Hello,

Based on the required hypothesis, the best describing one considering the question "How is earthworm behavior affected by external stimuli?", would be:

If the earthworm's skin dries then they will not breath properly because moisture help them out to ease the diffusion of oxygen through its skin.

In this case, we are specifying a possible condition, this is "the earthworm's skin dries" which is a cause of an external stimuli (dryness). Next, we propose an effect, this is "they will not breath properly", that is caused by the initial part. Finally, we explain the effect via the cause "moisture help them out to ease the diffusion of oxygen through its skin" because is something testable via the subsequent experiments when considering the scientific method.

Best regards.

sorry about the late response...

If an earthworm is exposed to dry conditions, then it will retreat to a moist place because its skin needs to stay moist for the earthworm to survive.

How Non-Polar Molecule disolves in Non-Polar Molecule?

sergeinik [125]

Explanation:

Nonpolar compounds do not dissolve in water. The attractive forces that operate between the particles in a nonpolar compound are weak dispersion forces. However, the nonpolar molecules are more attracted to themselves than they are to the polar water molecules.

29. A gas has a volume of 1.75 L at -23°C and 150.0 kPa.

arsen [322]

The answer for the following mention bellow.

Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 260 k

Explanation:

Given:

Initial pressure ( $P_{1}$ ) = 150.0 kPa

Final pressure ( $P_{2}$ ) = 210.0 kPa

Initial volume ( $V_{1}$ ) = 1.75 L

Final volume ( $V_{2}$ ) = 1.30 L

Initial temperature ( $T_{1}$ ) = -23°C = 250 k

To find:

Final temperature ( $T_{2}$ )

We know;

According to the ideal gas equation;

P × V = n × R ×T

where;

P represents the pressure of the gas

V represents the volume of the gas

n represents the no of moles of the gas

R represents the universal gas constant

T represents the temperature of the gas

We know;

$\frac{P*V}{T}$ = constant

$\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }$ × $\frac{V_{1} }{V_{2} }$ = $\frac{T_{1} }{T_{2} }$

Where;

( $P_{1}$ ) represents the initial pressure of the gas

( $P_{2}$ ) represents the final pressure of the gas

( $V_{1}$ ) represents the initial volume of the gas

( $V_{2}$ ) represents the final volume of the gas

( $T_{1}$ ) represents the initial temperature of the gas

( $T_{2}$ ) represents the final temperature of the gas

So;

$\frac{150 * 1.75}{210 * 1.30}$ = $\frac{260}{T_{2} }$

( $T_{2}$ ) =260 k

Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 260 k

If an atom has three shell and number of valence electrons are two. Is this element metal

cluponka [151]

Answer:

Metal

Element: Calcium

Valency: 2

Explanation:

To find the element, let's use the periodic table. (Look below)

We already went past 3 shells, just need the 2 electrons after it.

Just skip to the 4th row and count 2 to the right

We end up at Calcium.

Calcium is a metal and we're also on the alkaline earth metals column.

Calcium will need to lose 2 electrons to reach stability, so the valency is 2.
