Answer:
2) HClO3 is stronger because chlorine is more electronegative than iodine.
Explanation:
The more electronegative the element is the more strong or acidic it becomes.
Chlorine being more electronegative than Iodine makes it easier for it to pull the electron of hydrogen more strongly and hence has a higher tendency to release a H+ unit. Hence that makes it stronger.
Climate determines a biome’s characteristics by being the deciding factor in what can live and grow there.
Answer: (C) 30 times
Richter scale is used to determine the magnitude of an earthquake from the arrival time of P and S waves. It determines the total amount of energy released during an earthquake.
If Richter magnitude scale measures 6.5 then it produces 30 times more energy than 1 Richter scale magnitude during an earthquake. The magnitude of an earthquake is plotted on a logarithmic scale from 1 to 9 and increases 10 folds by one magnitude. If 6.5 is the magnitude, it means it is 10 times more than 5.5 magnitude earthquake. Similarly the amount of energy is calculated as 30 folds. So 6.5 magnitude will have 30 folds more energy released than that with 5.5 magnitude earthquake.
