Which THREE statements correctly describe the properties of water?

1 answer:

7 0

CORRECT STATEMENTS
> Water forms hydrogen bonds with other polar molecules. 
> Water is a polar molecule. 
> Water dissolves more ionic compounds.

Water is a polar molecule because of its uneven distribution of electron density. It is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one positive atom.
Since water is a polar molecule, it forms hydrogen bonds with other polar molecules. Though these bonds are relatively weak, however, there are so many of them present in water.
Water also dissolves most ionic compounds due to the fact that water is a universal solvent. When these compounds are added to water, there will be an interaction between the individual ions and the polar regions of the water molecules and disrupts the ionic bonds.

INCORRECT 
> Liquid water is less dense than water vapor. - Liquid water has a higher density than water vapor. The fact that water vapor rises indicates that it is less dense than water.

>Water dissolves more hydrophobic substances. - Hydrophobic substances do not dissolve easily in water. It is termed as 'hydrophobic" because it means water-fearing.

Prior to 1900, sea levels rose at maximum, _______ per year. since 1900 sea levels have risen _______ per year. a. 4 cm, 11 cm b

Aleks [24]

Prior to 1900, sea levels rose at maximum, 4 cm per year. Since 1900 sea levels have risen 11 cm per year.

<h3>How sea level is measured?</h3>

Tide stations and satellite laser altimeters are the main tools used to measure sea level.
The height of the sea as measured along the shore in relation to a particular place on land is what tide stations all around the world tell us about what is happening locally.
NASA uses satellites to measure sea level all over the world.
Height of the ocean's surface, often known as sea level, is measured by the Jason-3 satellite using radio waves and other equipment.
It studies how the global sea level is changing over time for the entire Earth every 10 days.
The average sea level is 6,371.001 km (3,958.756 mi), and it is 6,356.752 km (3,949.903 mi) at the poles.

4. A homozygous dominant female is crossed with a heterozygous male, what

vesna_86 [32]

Answer: genotypic ratio 2/4

Phenotypic ratio 4/4 is the same

Explanation: suppose RR is the dominant female and Rr is the heterozygous male. Then after the cross genetically 2 have RR and 2 have Rr ratio. But phenotypically all 4 are the same.
