A chemical element is a pure substance that consists entirely of what?

Based on these ideas, what are the pro's and con's for both Sexual Reproduction and Asexual reproduction?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Asexual
Pro:
1. inexpensive to make offspring (usually make a lot at a time and not invest a lot of time in raising them).
2. Do not need a mate to reproduce.
3. Can rapidly expand a population
Con:
1. genetically identical- prone to extinction because once a parasite has evolved to attack a specific genotype, it can kill them all.
2. Lineages usually don't last longer than a couple thousand years

Sexual:
Pros:
1. Genetically unique- so more likely to create a "successful" offspring
2. Lineages more likely to last hundreds of thousands of years

Cons:
1. More effort into creating offspring- require more parental effort
2. STD's- easily to pass
3. need to find a mate or else won't be successful as an organism.

Hope this helps you.

If an object has a mass of 20 kg, what is the force of gravity acting on it on earth? A. 196 N B. 32.67 N End of exam C. 1.96 kg

garri49 [273]

Force = mass x gravity

Force = 20 kg x 9.8 m/s²

Force = 196 Newtons

Answer A

Write a balanced equation for its combustion reaction.

laila [671]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

C₅H₁₂O(l)+15/2O₂(g)→5CO₂(g)+6H₂O(l)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the hydrocarbon in question is;

C₅H₁₂O(l)+15/2O₂(g)→5CO₂(g)+6H₂O(l)

A balanced chemical equation is one in which the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation.

In this case;

Reactant side has; 5 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 16 Oxygen atoms
Product side has; 5 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 16 Oxygen atoms

An equation is balanced by putting appropriate coefficients on reactants and products involved in the reaction.
An equation is balanced so as to obey the law of conservation of mass.

Solid NaBr is slowly added to a solution that is 0.073 M in Cu+ and 0.073 M in Ag+.Which compound will begin to precipitate firs

saul85 [17]

Answer :

AgBr should precipitate first.

The concentration of $Ag^+$ when CuBr just begins to precipitate is, $1.34\times 10^{-6}M$

Percent of $Ag^+$ remains is, 0.0018 %

Explanation :

$K_{sp}$ for CuBr is $4.2\times 10^{-8}$

$K_{sp}$ for AgBr is $7.7\times 10^{-13}$

As we know that these two salts would both dissociate in the same way. So, we can say that as the Ksp value of AgBr has a smaller than CuBr then AgBr should precipitate first.

Now we have to calculate the concentration of bromide ion.

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

$CuBr\rightleftharpoons Cu^++Br^-$
