Answer:

Option c and d

Explanation:

John Dalton. In 1808, John Dalton proposed a theory known as Dalton’s Atomic Theory. The theory was published in a paper titled “A New Chemical Philosophy”. This theory was new to that era

The 5 postulates of Daltons' atomic theory are:

1. All the matters are made of atoms.

2. Atoms of different elements combine to form compounds

3. Compounds contain atoms in small whole-number ratios

4. Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed . (This was later proven wrong )

5. All atoms of an element are identical and have the same properties (This was later proven wrong as atoms of same element may be different in case of elements having isotopes )

Therefore, options c and d are the answer.

What causes the biggest change mass or speed?

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Explanation if an object is in motion and more force is applied to it, the object will begin moving faster. If two objects have the same mass and a greater force is applied to one of the objects, the object which receives the greater force will change speeds more quickly.:

Using Argn (n= –2, –1, 0, +1, +2, etc.) to represent the different charge species of Arginine, what is the dominant species of A

fredd [130]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the sorensen equation; pH = -Log[H+]

2.7 = -Log[H+]

H+ = 10^-2.7

H+ = 0.001995M = Hydrogen ion concentration

Basically, the more the charges, the higher the hydrogen ion concentration stand vice versa. +2 has the highest concentration.

An alkanol contains 37.5 carbon

kow [346]

Answer:

Empirical formula is CH₄

Molecular formula = C₂H₈

Explanation:

Mass of carbon = 37.5 g

Mass of hydrogen = 12.5 g

Molecular weight = 32 g/mol

Molecular formula = ?

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of C = 37.5 g /12g/mol = 3.125

Number of gram atoms of H = 12.5 g / 1.008 g/mol= 12.4

Atomic ratio:

C : H

3.125/3.125 : 12.4 /3.125

1 : 4

C : H : = 1 : 4

Empirical formula is CH₄

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

n = 32 / 16

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 ( CH₄)

Molecular formula = C₂H₈

Describe how organisms in the tropical rainforest both depend on and compete for biotic and abiotic factors. In your answer, ide

nadezda [96]

What are biotic and abiotic factors?

Biotic and abiotic are the two essential factors responsible for shaping the ecosystem. The biotic factors refer to all the living beings present in an ecosystem, and the abiotic factors refer to all the non-living components like physical conditions (temperature, pH, humidity, salinity, sunlight, etc.) and chemical agents (different gases and mineral nutrients present in the air, water, soil, etc.) in an ecosystem. Therefore, both the abiotic and biotic resources affect the survival and reproduction process.

Answer:

Abiotic factors in the tropical rainforest include humidity, soil composition, temperature, and sunlight. A limiting factor in the ecosystem is that canopy layers block sunlight from reaching the forest floor, causing shorter plants to not be able to grow. Biotic factors in the tropical rainforest include orchids, lilies, heliconia, and bromeliads. Tropical rainforests can have various fungi, shrubs, herbs, woody vines, lichens, and mosses. The trees making up the rainforest canopy include the tonka bean wood, teak, rubber, and several species of evergreens and palm trees. This way the organisms in the tropical rainforest both depend on biotic and abiotic factors.
