Answer:

1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative

2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK

Explanation:

The temperature of an object can be written using different temperature scales.

The two most important scales are:

- Celsius scale: the Celsius degree is indicated with ºC. It is based on the freezing point of water (placed at 0ºC) and the boiling point of water (100ºC).

- Kelvin scale: the Kelvin is indicated with K. it is based on the concept of "absolute zero" temperature, which is the temperature at which matter stops moving, and it is placed at zero Kelvin (0 K), so this scale cannot have negative temperatures, since 0 K is the lowest possible temperature.

The expression to convert from Celsius degrees to Kelvin is:

T(K)=T(^{\circ}C)+273.15

Therefore  in this problem, since the student reported a temperature of -3.5 ºK, the errors done are:

1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative

2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK

What is hydrogen ion concentration of an acid solution whose PH is 3.4?​
meriva
It’s easy, if the PH of any acidic solution = -Log[H+], where [H+] is hydrogen ion concentration, multiply each term by (-1) then raise each term as a power to (10), so it will become like this:-
[H+] = 10^(-PH)

Through which of the following processes is carbon directly transferred between living organisms and the environment?
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The answer is carbon cycle.

Explanation:

The carbon cycle is an important process for living organisms. As plants prepare their food through photosynthesis and is also an important source of fossil fuels for human activities.

Therefore carbon atoms are regenerated again and again in the carbon cycle process. This recycling process takes place between livings and nonliving things in the environment and also within the earth biosphere.

Abundance supply of carbon is necessary to carry out the biological processes. The entire carbon cycle is actually made up of sourced and sinks elements.
