Answer:

D. Thermal conduction is blocked by the flip-flops.

Explanation:

Convection is a process of heat transfer which involves fluids( liquid or gas). This however rules convection out of the answer.

Radiation involves heat transfer from the sun to bodies on earth.

Conduction involves heat transfer between two solid bodies. Hot beach sand and flip-flops are solid bodies which validates thermal(heat) conduction.

Which is the correct net ionic equation for the following reaction: H3PO4 (aq) + 3 LiOH (aq) > Li3PO4 (aq) + 3 H2O (l)?

torisob [31]

Answer: The correct option for the chemical equation $H_3PO_4(aq.)+3LiOH(aq.)\rightarrow Li_3PO_4(aq.)+3H_2O(l)$ is 1.

The correct option for the chemical equation $2HBr(aq.)+Co(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow CoBr_2(aq.)+2H_2O(l)$ is 3.

Explanation:

For the chemical equation:

$H_3PO_4(aq.)+3LiOH(aq.)\rightarrow Li_3PO_4(aq.)+3H_2O(l)$

$H_3PO_4$ is a weak acid and hence will not dissociate into ions whereas LiOH is a strong base and will easily dissociate into ions.

The product $Li_3PO_4$ is soluble in water and hence, will dissociate into its respective ions. Hence, the ionic equation for this reaction is:

$H_3PO_4(aq.)+3Li^{3+}(aq.)+3OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow 3Li^{3+}(aq.)+PO_4^{3-}(aq.)+3H_2O(l)$

Net ionic equation becomes:

$H_3PO_4(aq.)+3OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow PO_4^{3-}(aq.)+3H_2O(l)$

So, the correct option is 1.

For the chemical equation:

$2HBr(aq.)+Co(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow CoBr_2(aq.)+2H_2O(l)$

HBr and $Co(OH)_2$ are strong acid and strong base respectively, hence they will easily dissociate into ions.

The product, $CoBr_2$ is is soluble in water and hence, will dissociate into its respective ions. Hence, the ionic equation for this reaction is:

$2H^+(aq.)+2Br^-(aq.)+Co^{2+}(aq.)+2OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq.)+2Br^-(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

The net ionic equation becomes:

$H^+(aq.)+OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow H_2O(l)$

So, the correct option is 3.

The alternative pathways of photosynthesis using the c4 or cam systems are said to be compromises. why?

frosja888 [35]

It is because C4 compromises on water loss and CAM compromises on photorespiration. and Both minimize photorespiration but expend more ATP during carbon fixation.

you are studying an animal that produces only one offspring every three or four years. Is it likely to use external or internal

Igoryamba

Answer:

internal fertilization

Explanation:

Internal fertilization enhances the fertilization of eggs by a specific male. Fewer offspring are produced through this method, but their survival rate is higher than that for external fertilization.
