Coal a is a chemical compound. It is pure carbon. You cannot separate carbon into other molecules without changing its chemical consitution.

Petroleum is a mixture of many chemical compounds, hydrocarbons, plus other elements. Petroleum components contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and some metal traces. The different compounds that consitute the petroleum can be separated by physical media like distillation.

The partial pressures of the gases in a mixture are 0.875 atm O2, 0.0553 atm N2, and 0.00652 atm Ar. What is the total pressure
Tresset [83]
B. 0.937 atm  
The total pressure of a gas mixture is simply the sum of the partial pressures of each gas within the mixture. So let's add them together: 0.875 atm + 0.0553 atm + 0.00652 atm = 0.93682 atm.  
Since we only have 3 significant figures in our data, round the result to 3 figures, giving 0.937 atm, which exactly matches option "B" which is the correct answer.

Vinil7 [7]
Earth contains huge quantities of water in its oceans, lakes, rivers, the atmosphere, and believe it or not, in the rocks of the inner Earth. Over millions of years, much of this water is recycled between the inner Earth, the oceans and rivers, and the atmosphere. This cycling process means that freshwater is constantly made available to Earth's surface where we all live. Our planet is also very efficient at keeping this water. Water, as a vapor in our atmosphere, could potentially escape into space from Earth. But the water doesn't escape because certain regions of the atmosphere are extremely cold. (At an altitude of 15 kilometers, for example, the temperature of the atmosphere is as low as -60° Celsius!) At this frigid temperature, water forms solid crystals that fall back to Earth's surface.
Many people live faraway from freshwater sources. They need to carry their water home.
While our planet as a whole may never run out of water, it's important to remember that clean freshwater is not always available where and when humans need it. In fact, half of the world's freshwater can be found in only six countries. More than a billion people live without enough safe, clean water.
Also, every drop of water that we use continues through the water cycle. Stuff we put down the drain ends up in someone or something else's water. We can help protect the quality of our planet's freshwater by using it more wisely.

What holds the two strands of a DNA molecule together?A. Ionic bonds between negatively and positively charged ionsB. Covalent b
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

D. Hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs89

Explanation:

A DNA molecule is composed of two long polynucleotide chains made of four types of nucleotide subunits, two purines (adenine and guanine) and two pyrimidines (cytosine and thymine). These nucleotides are joined by covalent bonds forming a phosphate-sugar backbone. <em>These strands are held to one another with hydrogen bonds between the base portions of complementary nucleotides.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Because copper is a metal, it is what?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Copper is a mineral and an element essential to our everyday lives. It is a major industrial metal because of its high ductility, malleability, thermal and electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. It is an essential nutrient in our daily diet. And, its antimicrobial property is becoming increasingly important to the prevention of infection. It ranks third after iron and aluminum in terms of quantities consumed in the USA.
