Why can sand stop fire?

It will cover up all oxygen from the fire. And sand has no natural flammability because it is simply a crushed up mineral, so it can not make the fire any bigger.

Because the fire has no oxygen to expand. it's really suffocating it.

Answer:

A. Passive Transport is migration of a molecule from one side of the cell membrane to the other, from an area of high electrochemical potential to a region of lower electrochemical potential.

B. Diffusion is an individual molecule of a material moving from a high-concentration location to a low-concentration area over a semipermeable barrier

C. Osmosis is the movement of molecules of water through a cell's partly permeable membrane from a liquid with a large concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules.

D. Facilitated Diffusion are molecules that diffuse across the plasma membrane with assistance from membrane proteins, such as channels and carriers.

E. Active transport is the transport of molecules across a cell membrane against a concentration gradient from a low-concentration region to a high-concentration region.

F. Selectively permeable is when some chemicals or ions pass across the membrane, while others are blocked.

G. Cellular respiration are organisms mix oxygen with food molecules, directing the chemical energy in these substances into life-sustaining processes while eliminating carbon dioxide and water as waste material.

Select the correct equalities for the units shown.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer

1. 1cm=10mm, 1kg=1000g and 12in=1 ft

2. 50mm=5cm

48 in =4ft

36ft=12 yd

2.5m=250cm

1000mL= 1 L

Explanation

if 1cm=10mm then 5cm=?

5×10=50mm

if 12 in =1ft then 48in=?

48/12 =4 ft

if 1m=100cm, then 2.5m=?

2.5×100= 250cm

and when know from capacity that 1000mL is equivalent to 1 liter.

Answer:

There are necessaries 35,2g of NH₄NO₃ per 100,0g of water to decrease the temperature of the solution from 25,0°C to 5,0°C

Explanation:

To decrease the temperature of the solution there are necessaries:

4,184J/g°C×(5,0°C-25,0°C)×(100,0g+X) = -Y

8368J + 83,68J/gX = Y (1)

Where x are grams of NH₄NO₃ you need to add and Y is the energy that you need to decrease the heat.

Also, the energy Y will be:

Y = 25700J/mol× $\frac{1mol}{80,043g}$ X

Y = 321J/g X (2)

Replacing (2) in (1)

8368J + 83,68J/g X = 321J/g X

8363J = 237,32J/gX

X = 35,2g

Thus, there are necessaries 35,2g of NH₄NO₃ per 100,0g of water to decrease the temperature of the solution from 25,0°C to 5,0°C

I hope it helps!
