Answer: capsule and fimbriae

Explanation:

Many prokaryotes have sticky outermost layer called the capsule.It is made up of polysaccharides and it helps them clinging to each other or to other surfaces around them.It also helps prevent the cell from drying out.

Fimbriae,also known as attachment pilus,used by bacteria to adhere to one and other,animal cells or to any inanimate objects.

What is the percent yield of ferrous sulfide if the actual yield is 220.0 g and the theoretical yield is 275.6 g

Anika [276]

To get the percent yield, we will use this formula: ((Actual Yield)/(Theoretical Yield)) * 100% Values given: actual yield is 220.0 g theoretical yield is 275.6 g Now, let us substitute the values given. (220.0 grams)/(275.6 grams) = 0.7983 Then, to get the percentage, multiply the quotient by 100. 0.7983 (100) = 79.83% Among the choices, the most plausible answer is 79.8%

Earth has approximately 600,000,000 meters of coastline. If we assume this entire length of coastline has sandy beaches 60 meter

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

7 and 11

Explanation:

The amount of sand on the beaches can be found using this formula:

volume (m3) = length (m) × width (m) × depth (m)

(6 × 108 m) × 60 m × 20 m = 7 × 1011 m3

Therefore, there would be a total of 7 × 1011 cubic meters of sand on the beaches.

A scientist measures the standard enthalpy change for the following reaction to be -17.2 kJ : Ca(OH)2(aq) 2 HCl(aq)CaCl2(s)

elixir [45]

Answer: $\Delta H^{0}=-173.72$ kJ/mol

Explanation: Enthalpy Change is the amount of energy in a reaction - absorption or release - at a constant pressure. So, Standard Enthalpy of Formation is how much energy is necessary to form a substance.

The standard enthalpy of formation of HCl is calculated as:

$\Delta ^{0}=\Sigma H_{products}-\Sigma H_{reactants}$
