Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Kerosene is made up of a mixture of water, oil, rocks and some contaminants that are extracted from porous layers of carbonate rock and sandstone.

Kerosene has lowest flash point, that is, lowest temperature at which a substance can vaporize in the air to form an ignitable mixture.

Therefore, due to this reason when kerosene comes in contact with slightest of flame then it immediately catches fire and becomes explosive in nature.

Hence, we can conclude that when Lionel is replacing the kerosene in a heater then he should avoid flames.

Which of the following properties of carbon give it particular importance to life
olga55 [171]

I wrote a paragraph summing the importance of Carbon a while back, see if it helps find your answer. :)

Carbon is an element on the periodic table with the symbol C, and the atomic number 6. There are many reasons that carbon is vital to life on earth, not only to humans but to plants as well. First of all, humans are made of eighteen percent carbon. It is not only found in humans, it is also found in every organism currently known, including plants in a technological way. To plants, carbon flows inside of their cells. They need it to create glucose which then works as food. To humans, it's used in many science sets. It is used in a vast array of compounds including gasoline. Gasoline is what keeps motors around the world running, and it's made up of hydrocarbons with at least 5 carbon atoms each. It also aids the greenhouse effect, keeping the earth warm and habitable by human beings.

You observe a high proportion of malarial infections in a small village located in Angola. Malaria is caused by the protozoan Pl
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

<em>B and C.</em>

Explanation:

The epidemiological triangle is an illustration of interaction among suitable hosts, disease agents, and the environment that drives successful outbreak of diseases.

In order to successfully tackle or reduce the incidence of a disease, the triangle has to be broken.

<em>In the case of malaria which is caused by plasmodium but spread through the female anopheles mosquito, one way of breaking the epidemiological triangle is to eliminate female anopheles mosquito in the environment using any possible means. This will stop the spread of the parasite and hence, the disease.</em>

<em>Another way to reduce/prevent malaria is to prevent the vector, female anopheles mosquito from getting to the host, the human populace. This can also be achieved by several possible means.</em>

Relocating the entire village to a neighbouring village might not break the epidemiological triangle as long as female anopheles mosquito still abounds. In the same vein, antibacterial drugs will not help to treat malaria. However, instructing residents on personal protective measures and controlling the vector through chemical larvicides will go a long way in breaking the triangle and reducing the incidence on the malaria disease.

<em>The correct options is B and C.</em>

Compare the physical and chemical properties of a compound to those of the elements of which it is composed.
yuradex [85]

Explanation:

Compounds are those substances that are made up of elements that are combined in a fixed proportion or ratio. The individual property of element is lost once it forms a compound. The physical and chemical properties of both compound and an element is different.

Example of a compound is water and its elements are hydrogen and oxygen. Water is a colorless liquid that acts as a solvent and dissolves most of the solutes in it. While oxygen and hydrogen occurs as gases in their elemental state.

At a glance this one's confusing, I agree.
Genetic engineering has made it easier for forensic scientists to differentiate human DNA beyond simple blood sampling. This inevitable led to release of innocent accused prisoners.
