Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a solid, molecules are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, they are unable to move from their initial place but they can vibrate at their mean position.

Hence, in solid substances the molecules have low kinetic energy.

Whereas in liquids, the molecules are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids. Due to which they are able to slide past each other. Hence, they have medium kinetic energy.
In gases, the molecules are held by weak Vander waal forces. Hence, they have high kinetic energy due to which they move rapidly from one place to another leading to more number of collisions.

Hence, gases are able to expand more rapidly as compared to liquids.

In plasma state, there is hot ionized gas which contains positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons.

In plasma state, molecules move much more rapidly than molecules of a gas.

Thus, we can conclude that solid state of matter has least amount of kinetic energy.

What does energy have to do with reproduction

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Nutrition has a significant impact on numerous reproductive functions including hormone production, folliculogenesis, fertilization, and early embryonic development

Explanation:

This intimate association is because reproductive processes are energetically expensive, and the brain must temper the fertility of individuals to match nutritional availability.Reproduction function in mammals can be inhibited when food availability is low or when increased energy demands are not met by compensatory food intake such as in short-term and chronic withdrawal of nutrients.This very close alignment with the food supply is more important in females, where pregnancy and lactation are linked to considerable energetic expenses, needed for the nurture of embryos and newborns. In fact, her reproductive outcome can be seriously altered and even life threatening to both the mother and offspring when nutritional imbalance occurs. In order to keep constant body energy stores, in mammals, a series of homeostatic events leading to maintenance of energy balance are activate when a state of energy scarcity or abundance occurs.

Round to 4 significant figures.<br> 0.007062

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Hey there!

This is already rounded to four significant figures!

Zeroes after the decimal but before the 7 don't count, and 7, 0, 6, and 2 count as significant figures.

So, the answer would be 0.007062.

Let me know if this helps :)

2. What ions are present in what ratio in a solution of aqueous calcium chloride?

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

$\mathrm{Ca}^{2+} \text { and } \mathrm{Cl} \text { - ions are present in } 1: 2 \text { ratio in a solution of aqueous calcium chloride. }$

Explanation:

Here in Calcium Chloride ionic bond is present in between calcium and chlorine atoms. As we know according to Octet rule calcium have two excess atoms and for matching nearest noble gas electronic configuration. It donate two electrons to gain more stability and form $\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ , while chlorine is deficient from one electron to meet nearest noble gas electronic configuration therefore two chlorine atoms accept excess electron from calcium individually and form two $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ ions.

$\text { Equation is as follows: } \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{Cl}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{CaCl}_{2}$

Hence aqueous solution of calcium chloride breaks the ionic bond pairing in one $\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ and two $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ ions: $\mathrm{CaCl}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \quad \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}(\mathrm{ag})+2 \mathrm{Cl}(\mathrm{ag})$
