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.

Which one of the following Acids is most likely to hurt you? Acid A: 1.0 M; Acid B: 0.0001M

vaieri [72.5K]

Acid A, assuming the two acids have the same pH. The M stands for molarity which is how concentrated a substance is (basically the higher the molarity the more concentrated the acid is). However, pH refers to how acidic a substance is. If the two acids have different levels of acidity, the answer may be different.

Identify the double displacement reaction. 3Pb 2h 3PO 4 ⟶ 3H 2 Pb 3(PO 4) 2 2NO 2 ⟶ 2O 2 N 2 2NaBr Ca(OH) 2 ⟶ CaBr 2 2NaOH 2NH 3

IRISSAK [1]

Reaction 3 is the double displacement reaction.

Double displacement reaction occurs when the negatively and the positively charged ions of the compounds interchange their position when the new compound in the product is formed.

<h3>Which is a double displacement reaction?</h3>

In the first reaction, the element lead (Pb) is not an ion and no exchange of the cations or the anions occurs hence it is not a double displacement reaction.

In the second reaction, one compound is getting split into two new compounds and is a decomposition reaction.

In the third reaction, $\rm Br^{-}$ in $\rm 2NaBr$ and $\rm (OH)_{2}$ in $\rm Ca(OH)_{2}$ are anions and cations and exchanges their places to produce two new compounds $\rm CaBr_{2} + 2NaOH.$

In the fourth reaction, a single compound is generated as the result of the combination reaction and hence, it is not the double displacement reaction.

Therefore, $\rm 2NaBr + Ca(OH)_{2} \rightarrow CaBr_{2} + 2NaOH$ is the double displacement reaction.

CICLOS BIOGEOQUIMICOS: lugares en que encontramos el elemento del ciclo separando en bioticos y abioticos

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Los ciclos biogeoquímicos son definidos como la circulación de los elementos químicos entre organismos biológicos (es decir, el factor biótico del ciclo), y componentes geológicos inorgánicos del sistema (factores abióticos). En el ciclo del agua, por ejemplo, este elemento se encuentra esparcido en los ríos y arroyos, como así también en la atmósfera, desde donde fluye como lluvia hasta el suelo y puede ser ingerida por organismos vivos terrestres y es utilizada para llevar a cabo diversas funciones celulares.

Explanation:

Los ciclos biogeoquímicos establecen un vinculo entre los factores bióticos y abióticos del ecosistema, de modo que la energía puede fluir libremente a través de ambas partes del sistema. Los seres vivos necesitan diferentes elementos químicos para sobrevivir, los cuales forma parte de los ciclos biogeoquímicos. En los ciclos biogeoquímicos los elementos se conocen como 'nutrientes' (micro y macronutrientes). Estos elementos se encuentran esparcidos tanto en la corteza de la tierra como en la biósfera. Los nutrientes son indispensables porque de ellos depende de que la energía fluya entre el componente inorgánico y orgánico del ciclo. Por otra parte, los nutrientes también circulan dentro del ciclo entre componentes bióticos de la cadena trófica, con lo cual no sólo los nutrientes sino también la energía fluye entre organismos, desde aquellos más basales en el sistema tales como plantas (ecosistemas terrestres) o algas (marinos), hasta los niveles superiores representados por especies animales hervívoras y carnívoras de tales ecosistemas.

Two samples of sodium chloride with different masses were decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produced 2.55 g

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

4.71 g of sodium and 7.25 g of chlorine

Explanation:

Note: The question is incomplete. the complete question is given below:

Two samples of sodium chloride with different masses were decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produced 2.55 g of sodium and 3.93 g of chlorine. Being consistent with the law of constant composition, also called the law of definite proportions or law of definite composition, which set of masses could be the result of the decomposition of the other sample?

4.71 g of sodium and 3.30 g of chlorine

4.71 g of sodium and 7.25 g of chlorine

4.71 g of sodium and 1.31 g of chlorine

4.71 g of sodium and 13.7 g of chlorine

The law of definite proportions states that all pure samples of a particular chemical compound contain the same elements combined in the same proportion by mass.

This means that irrespective of the source of any sample of a pure chemical compound, the constituents elements are always combined in the same mass ratio.

In the first sample, the mass ratio of Sodium to chlorine is given below:

mass of sodium = 2.55 g

mass of chlorine = 3.93 g

mass ratio; sodium to chlorine = 2.55 / 3.93 = 0.65

From the set of masses give above, we can determine the result of the decomposition of the second sample.

4.71 g of sodium and 3.30 g of chlorine

mass ratio; sodium to chlorine = 4.71 / 3.30 = 1.43

4.71 g of sodium and 7.25 g of chlorine

mass ratio; sodium to chlorine = 4.71 / 7.25 = 0.65

4.71 g of sodium and 1.31 g of chlorine

mass ratio; sodium to chlorine = 4.71 / 1.31 = 3.59

4.71 g of sodium and 13.7 g of chlorine

mass ratio; sodium to chlorine = 4.71 / 13.7 = 0.34

From the results above, the correct set of masses for the second sample is 4.71 g of sodium and 7.25 g of chlorine
