How might spontaneous generation be possible in a reducing environment? Question options: The reducing environment was created b

y the abundance of methane, which contains carbon. Because all life is organic, and organic molecules are all carbon-based, these molecules were the source of the spontaneous generation of life. Without oxygen, biological molecules, such as amino acids do not easily break down. As a result, they could have formed a "soup" of organic molecules in the oceans of the past, allowing spontaneous generation to occur. The concentration of nitrogen in the atmosphere created this reducing environment. Because nitrogen is present in amino acids, nucleic acids, and lipids, this environment favored conditions that eventually formed life through spontaneous generation. With high concentrations of carbon dioxide, biological molecules could have performed photosynthesis and pumped oxygen into the air in sufficient amounts over about 2 billion years, making spontaneous generation possible.

A charge alters the space around it. What is this alteration of space called? Electric ether Electric Force Electric field Charg
ycow [4]

Explanation:

A charge alters the space around it. This alteration of space is called the electric field. It is also defined as the electric force acting on a charged particle per unit test charge. It is given by :

E=\dfrac{F}{q}

Where

F is the electric force, F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

The direction of electric field is in the direction of electric force. For a positive charge, the direction of electric field lines are outwards and for a negative charge, the direction of field lines are inwards.

Hence, the correct option is (c) "electric field".

Consider a 20 cm thick granite wall with a thermal conductivity of 2.79 W/m·K. The temperature of the left surface is held const
kozerog [31]

Answer:

The right wall surface temperature and heat flux through the wall is 35.5°C and 202.3W/m²

Explanation:

Thickness of the wall is  L=  20cm = 0.2m

Thermal conductivity of the wall is  K = 2.79 W/m·K

Temperature at the left side surface is T₁ =  50°C

Temperature of the air is T = 22°C

Convection heat transfer coefficient is  h = 15 W/m2·K

Heat conduction process through wall is equal to the heat convection process so

Q_{conduction} = Q_{convection}

Expression for the heat conduction process is

Q_{conduction} = \frac{K(T_1 - T)}{L}

Expression for the heat convection process is

Q_{convection} = h(T_2 - T)

Substitute the expressions of conduction and convection in equation above

Q_{conduction} = Q_{convection}

\frac{K(T_1 - T_2)}{L} = h(T_2 - T)

Substitute the values in above equation

\frac{2.79(50- T_2)}{0.2} = 15(T_2 - 22)\\\\T_2 = 35.5^\circC

Now heat flux through the wall can be calculated as

q_{flux} = Q_{conduction} \\\\q_{flux}  = \frac{K(T_1 - T_2)}{L}\\\\q_{flux}  = \frac{2.79(50 - 35.5)}{0.2}\\\\q_{flux} = 202.3W/m^2

Thus, the right wall surface temperature and heat flux through the wall is 35.5°C and 202.3W/m²
