Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The seven stars are bigger in size as compared to the size of the sun. Also, these stars are more luminous as compared to sun. However, these stars appear small in size in comparison to sun because of their distance from earth. The larger is the distance, the dimmer is the star. Sun is at a distance of 0.0000158 Light years from Earth while the nearest star of the seven sister i.e Alpha Centauri is 4.37 light years away.

Hence, option B is correct

Which of the following best represents the relationship of the concentration of hydrogen ions between water, vinegar, and ammoni
aalyn [17]

Answer: The second image best represents the relationship of the concentration of hydrogen ions between water, vinegar and ammonia.

Explanation: pH is the measure of alkalinity and acidity of a substance in a logarithmic scale.

Mathematically,

pH=-\log[H^+]

The solutions which lie in the pH range of 0 - 6.9 are considered as acidic solutions and they have more hydrogen ion concentration.

The solution which has a pH value of 7 is considered as a neutral solution and this solution has same hydrogen and hydroxide ion concentration.

The solutions which lie in the pH range of 7.1 - 14 are considered as basic solutions and they have less hydrogen ion concentration.

  • For vinegar, the hydrogen ion concentration is very high.
  • For water, the hydrogen ion concentration will be equal to the hydroxide ion concentration.
  • For ammonia, the hydrogen ion concentration is very less.

(ii) Fish use their gills as a gas exchange surface.
maks197457 [2]
Exchange of gases in fish is very efficient because of: the large surface area of the gills. the large surface area of the blood capillaries in each gill filament. the short distance required for diffusion – the outer layer of the gill filaments and the capillary walls are just one cell thick.

Kepler's harmonic law states that the distance of a planet from the Sun corresponds to the period of time it takes the planet to
DaniilM [7]
<span>Kepler’s harmonic law is the third law of the Planetary Motion. He discovered this after ten years that there is a relation between the time of a planet’s orbit and its distance from the sun. The harmonic law states that <u>the squares of the orbital periods of the planets around the Sun are proportional to the cubes of the planet’s orbital period</u>. <u> </u> </span>
