It's called a nebula or nebulae (plural). They are not only massive clouds of dust, hydrogen and helium gas, and plasma; they are also often “stellar nurseries” – i.e. the place where stars are born.

The period of a ripple on a lake is half a second. what is the frequency of the wave
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

2 Hertz

Explanation:

<em>The frequency would be 2 Hertz.</em>

<u>The frequency of a wave is defined as the rate at which the particles of a medium vibrates when the wave is passed through it while the period of a wave is the time it takes the particles to make a complete cycle of vibration.</u>

The frequency of a wave is inversely related to its period and is defined by the following equation:

f = 1/t, where f is the frequency (in hertz) and t is the period (in seconds).

Hence, if the period of a ripple is 1/2 or 0.5 seconds, the frequency becomes;

f = 1/0.5 = 2 Hertz

Drag each characteristic to the correct category.
andrew11 [14]

Answer/Explanation

Characteristics of Life Present in Viruses:

  • has a defined boundary - viruses are made up simply of genetic material surrounded by a<u> protein capsid </u>and sometimes a lipid membrane

Characteristics of Life Absent in Viruses:

  • made up of one or more cells - one of the main arguments for why viruses are not living is that they are <u>not cellular</u>
  • uses energy  - this is a tricky one. They don't use or produce their own energy. However, in order to reproduce they do hijack the host cells and <u>steal energy</u> from them in order to reproduce
  • exhibits growth and development - although viruses do <u>reproduce</u>, the individual viral particles do not exhibit growth or development
  • possess internal organisation - other than the fact they ahve genetic material, the inside of a virus does not contain internal organization like a cytosol, instead conssiting of the bare minimum amount of proteins to survive
  • eliminates waste - since they do not have their own metabolism, they have no waste to eliminate

What is one benefit and one negative of the Gulf Stream
luda_lava [24]

This is a benefit I’m not sure if a negative

This strong current of warm water influences the climate of the east coast of Florida, keeping temperatures there warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer than the other southeastern states. Since the Gulf Stream also extends toward Europe, it warms western European countries as well.

Complete the mechanism for the base-catalyzed opening of the epoxide below by adding any missing atoms, bonds, charges, nonbondi
worty [1.4K]

Complete Question:

check the first image for complete part of the question

Answer and Explanation:

Epoxide is a three membered ring made up of two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Epoxides are cyclic ethers. Due to its ring size, it is highly strained and very reactive. Epoxide ring opening takes place with respect to addition of acid and base.

Ring opening of epoxide with acid:  

In the presence of base, the nucleophile attacks the epoxide ring at more substituted site and inverse stereochemistry takes place.(check file 2 attached)

Ring opening of epoxide with base:  

The backside attack of nucleophile takes place in less substituted site and then it undergoes protonation to form a product.

What is the theoretical yield of Calcium if we begin with 12.6 grams of Aluminium?
AlladinOne [14]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

The given chemical reaction is:

2Al+3Cu(NO_3)_2\rightarrow 3Cu+2Al(NO_3)_3

What is the theoretical yield of Calcium if we begin with 12.6 grams of Aluminium?

<u>Answer:</u> The theoretical yield of copper is 44.48 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

Given mass of aluminium = 12.6 g

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of aluminium}=\frac{12.6g}{27g/mol}=0.467mol

The given chemical equation follows:

2Al+3Cu(NO_3)_2\rightarrow 3Cu+2Al(NO_3)_3

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium produces 3 moles of copper

So, 0.467 moles of aluminium will produce = \frac{3}{2}\times 0.467=0.7005mol of copper

Now, calculating the mass of copper  from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of copper = 63.5 g/mol

Moles of copper = 0.7005 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.7005mol=\frac{\text{Mass of copper}}{63.5g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of copper}=(0.7005mol\times 63.5g/mol)=44.48g

Hence, the theoretical yield of copper is 44.48 grams
