bearhunter [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: ABOUT 71% PERCENT OF EARTH'S SURFACE IS WATER COVERED,OUT OF THAT ONLY 2.5 %IS FRESH WATER.WE GETS DRINKING WATER FROM CLEAN RIVERS ,LAKES AND EVEN GROUND WATER. WE ALSO FILTERS THE SEA WATERS TOO.

WE HUMANS ARE THE ONE WHO ACTUALLY POLLUTE  THE WATER BODIES, BECAUSE WE THROW DOMESTIC AND INDUSTRY WASTES IN THE WATER BODIES AND THE AQUATIC ANIMALS ARE DYING BECAUSE OF THIS ACT. IF WE SAVE  THE WATER BODIES THEN THERE WOULD NO BE ANY POLLUTION etc

In the article, Invasion of the Periodical Cicadas, why do scienctists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years?
frez [133]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the article found on the Scientific American website.

Explanation:

<em>Remember,</em> according to that article we are told that scientists notice that these insects have a long nymphal (immature form before becoming adults) stage, one that can last up to 13 to 17 years on the ground before they leave the ground looking for mating partners.

Because it is only after mating occurs at this point that their eggs are laid, that is why scientists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years.

The reaction for photosynthesis producing glucose sugar and oxygen gas is:
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

a. 1.12 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation for the photosynthesis

6 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(l) ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6 O₂(g)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 2.20 g of CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.

2.20 g × 1 mol/44.01 g = 0.0500 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of O₂ produced

The molar ratio of CO₂ to O₂ is 6:6. The moles of O₂ produced are 6/6 × 0.0500 mol = 0.0500 mol

Step 4: Calculate the volume occupied by 0.0500 moles of O₂ at STP

At STP, 1 mole of O₂ occupies 22.4 L.

0.0500 mol × 22.4 L/1 mol = 1.12 L

Bob adds heat to a liquid substance. When enough heat is added,
nikklg [1K]
Bob adds heat to a liquid substance. When enough heat is added, the liquid would undergo a phase transition from the liquid to the vapor phase. This process is called evaporation. It is an endothermic process where heat should be supplied to the system for the process to happen. The temperature of the system, when enough heat is supplied to allow phase transition, is called the boiling point. It is the temperature when the substance starts to boil in turn to a gas or a vapor. The heat that is associated during boiling is called the latent heat of vaporization. It is the heat that is absorbed during the phase change without changing the temperature of the system.

Making a pancake from batter is an example of blank change
lesantik [10]

Answer is: chemical.

Making a pancake from batter is chemical change (chemical reaction), because new substances are formed, the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change.

Batter is thin dough that is poured into a pan to make pancakes.

In physical change, the same substance is present before and after the psysical change, just with different form or state of matter.
