You would use a stopwatch. Hope this helps :D
Apple snails inhabit a wide range of ecosystems from swamps, ditches and ponds to lakes and rivers. The majority of the species prefer lentic water above streaming water and only a few species have adapted to rivers with strong current.
<span>Breathing through the siphon when submerged (<span>Pomacea canaliculata</span>).</span>
The lung/gills combination in apple snails reflects their adaptation to habitats with oxygen poor water. This is often the case in swamps and shallow waters. The without thelung they would completely depend on their gills, which would decrease their ability to survive.
Another advantage of air breathing in combination with a shell door (operculum) is the ability to survive periods of drought often common in these habitats during the dry season.
The atomic mass of an element is a result of the weighted average of the masses of its corresponding isotopes.
<span>We are given: </span>
<span>Sb-121: mass of 120.9038 amu, x abundance </span>
<span>Sb-123: mass of 122.9042 amu, 1-x abundance </span>
<span>To be able to calculate the atomic mass of antimony, we multiply the percent abundances of the isotopes by their respective atomic masses. Then, we add,</span>
<span>Atomic mass = (Atomic Mass of Sb-121) (% Abundance) + (Atomic Mass of Sb-123) (% Abundance )</span>
121.760 amu = (120.9038 amu)(x) + (122.9042 amu)(1 -x)
<span>Solving for x,</span>
<span>120.9038x + 122.9042 -122.9042x = 121.760</span>
<span>x = 0.57096 or 57.096% </span>
1-x = 1-0.57096 = 0.42904 or 42.90%
