Thermal conductivity of a substance affects it's ability to heat or to be heated by its surroundings.

This happens because as the temperature increases the kinetic energy which is possessed by the molecules also increases as there is increased collision between the molecules which leads to increase in the thermal conductivity of substance.

<h3>What is thermal conductivity?</h3>

It is defined as the ability of a substance to provide conduction of heat.Higher the thermal conductivity of a substance, more rapidly it will conduct heat and lower values of thermal conductivity depict low rate of conduction of heat.

Thermal conductivity depends on 3 factors namely,temperature, moisture content  and density.

Answer:

144 g

Explanation:

Use the mole ratio of 4 mol CO2 for every 9 mol O2 to convert from mol O2 to mol CO2. Then use the molar mass of CO2 to convert from mol of CO2 to grams of CO2.

7.34 mol O2 • (4 mol CO2 / 9 mol O2) • (44.01 g CO2 / 1 mol CO2) = 144 g CO2

Calcium hydride (cah2) reacts with water to form hydrogen gas: cah2(s) + 2h2o(l) → ca(oh)2(aq) + 2h2(g) how many grams of cah2 a

Using the ideal gas law equation, we can find the number of H₂ moles produced.
PV = nRT
Where P - pressure - 0.811 atm x 101 325 Pa/atm = 82 175 Pa
V - volume - 58.0 x 10⁻³ m³
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature - 32 °C + 273 = 305 K
substituting these values in the equation,
82 175 Pa x 58.0 x 10⁻³ m³ = n x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 305 K
n = 1.88 mol 

The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows;
CaH₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) --> Ca(OH)₂(aq) + 2H₂(g)
stoichiometry of CaH₂ to H₂ is 1:2
When 1.88 mol of H₂ is formed , number of CaH₂ moles reacted = 1.88/2 mol
therefore number of CaH₂ moles reacted = 0.94 mol
Mass of CaH₂ reacted - 0.94 mol x 42 g/mol  = 39.48 g of CaH₂ are needed

Consider a species in which dark brown fur is dominant relative to light brown fur.
aniked [119]

Answer:

Explanation:

To interpret this pedigree, let’s start with information that we already know:

Brown is recessive, which means brown individuals must have the phenotype BB. In this pedigree, brown individuals are filled in.

Black is dominant, which means black individuals must have at least one B allele. Their phenotype could be either BB or BB. In this pedigree, black individuals are not filled in.

Figure 5 shows the same pedigree, but with information about the individual’s phenotype filled in.

The shaded individual, who is a brown female puppy, must have the phenotype BB. If she had any B alleles, she would be black because the black allele is dominant over the brown allele.

In order for the brown puppy to have the phenotype BB, she must have gotten two “b” alleles: one from each of her parents. We know that her parents are both black (because they are unshaped), which means they must have a least one “B” allele. This means that both parents must be heterogeneous: BB.

The three black puppies must have at least one “B” allele in order for them to be black in color. However, we can’t tell whether they are homologous dominant (BB) or heterogeneous (BB) since both of those phenotype would result in black color. One way to represent this on a pedigree is B-, meaning that the second allele could be either B or b.

Water is the only substance that is _____________ as a solid than as a liquid. Thus it is unique in its physical properties.
kifflom [539]

Answer: Water is the only substance that is lighter as a solid than as a liquid. Thus, it is unique in its physical properties.

Explanation:

A property that does not bring any change in chemical composition of a substance are known as physical properties.

For example, shape, size, mass, volume, density, etc of a substance are all physical properties.

On the other hand, a property that changes chemical composition of a substance is known as chemical property.

For example, precipitation, reactivity, toxicity etc are chemical property.

In solid state, water has cage like structure due to which there is space present within its molecules. As a result, it becomes lighter in nature.

Hence, water is the only substance that is lighter as a solid than as a liquid. Thus, it is unique in its physical properties.
