<em>Hardness is a measure of how resistant solid matter is to various kinds of permanent shape change when a force is applied</em> <em>Macroscopic hardness is generally characterized by</em> <em>strong intermolecular bonds</em>, <em>but the behavior of solid materials under force is complex; therefore,</em> <em>there are different measurements of hardness</em>: <em>scratch hardness, indentation hardness, and rebound hardness. Hardness is dependent on ductility, elastic stiffness, plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity, and viscosity. Common examples of hard matter are ceramics, concrete, certain metals, and super hard materials, which can be contrasted with soft matter.</em>
Answer:
a
Explanation:
Remember, a biotic factors are those that are living (having life in them), while the abiotic factors are not living organisms.
Oxygen is in the category of biotic and it interacts with the atmosphere (space) which is abiotic.
Answer:
Properties which are needed for something to be considered as living are -
I) Movement
ii) Growth
iii) Respiration
iv) Reproduction
v) And other life processes such as ( transportation, excreting etc)
Answer:
Ca(OH)2 (aq)
Explanation:
The balanced neutralization reaction i.e. a reaction between an acid and a base, in this question is given as follows:
H2SO4(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) → CaSO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
According to Arrhenius in his definition of acid and base, a base is a substance that dissociates into hydroxide ions (OH-) when in an aqueous solution. In other words, a base increases the concentration of hydroxide ions when dissolved.
In this reaction, Ca(OH)2 releases the OH- (hydroxide ion) that combines with the hydrogen ion (H+) released by the acid, H2SO4, to form water (H2O). Hence, Ca(OH)2 (aq) is the BASE.
