What does the epidermis do for the skin?

Chemistry

vampirchik [111]3 years ago
8 0

Addie3137,

The epidermis is the outer layer of the skin. It's function is too "make a skin waterproof it acts as if its a barrier, and it helps give us skin tone." Epidermis also helps us have homeostasis which is how the body keeps cool or warm. Epidermis contains sweat glands which produce sweat once the body reaches it's limit when exposed to heat, and sweating helps keep the body cool.

Hope this helps!

andrey2020 [161]

The options are;

A) The skater experiences acceleration both while skating in a straight line and while making her turn.

B) Because the skater does not change her direction or speed, she does not experience acceleration.

C) The skater only experiences acceleration when she is turning.

D) The skater only experiences acceleration while skating in a straight line.

Answer:

A: The skater experiences acceleration both while skating in a straight line and while making her turn

Explanation:

We are told that She speeds up on the straight portion of the rink. This means that she experienced an acceleration since the speed was not constant but gradually increasing.

Also, we are told that She slows down near each end of the rink and then turns around. This means that she reduced speed before turning and it means there was also an acceleration as well when making the turn.

Thus, she experience acceleration both in the straight line and when making turn.

Option A is correct

A chemical change involves a change in ________. A chemical change involves a change in ________. phase the elements of a molecu
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

All of the above.

Explanation:

Chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances.

This process is not reversible and a change of energy that is sometimes heat is given off.

If the concentration of a KCl solution is 16.0% (m/v), then the mass of KCl in 26.0 mL of solution is ________.
melomori [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is 4.16 grams.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the concentration of KCl solution is 16 % m/v, which means that 100 ml of the solution will contain 16 grams of KCl.

The molarity of the solution can be determined by using the formula,

M = weight/molecular mass × 1000/Volume

The molecular mass of KCl is 74.6 grams per mole.

M = 16/74.6 × 1000/100

M = 16/74.6

M = 2.14 M

Now the weight of KCl present in the solution of 26 ml will be,

2.14 = Wt./74.6 × 1000 /26

Wt. = 4.16 grams

The individual dipole moments in ammonia (NH3) do not cancel each other
kozerog [31]

Answer:

                    The strongest force that exists between molecules of Ammonia is <em>Hydrogen Bonding</em>.

Explanation:

                    Hydrogen Bond Interactions are those interactions which are formed between a partial positive hydrogen atom bonded directly to most electronegative atoms (i.e. F, O and N) of one molecule interacts with the partial negative most electronegative atom of another molecule.

                    Hence, in ammonia the nitrogen atom being more electronegative element than Hydrogen will be having partial negative charge and making the hydrogen atom partial positive. Therefore, the attraction between these partials charges will be the main force of interaction between ammonia molecules.

                  Other than Hydrogen bonding interactions ammonia will also experience dipole-dipole attraction and London dispersion forces.
