Your skin protects your internal organs in so many different ways. I will name a few for you! :)

Protects from damage - Your skin protects your internal organs from damage such as cuts and bruising. Our skin is not incredibly strong, but it does make a huge difference compared to our organs being bare.

Protects from bacteria - Your skin blocks most bacteria from directly having contact with your internal organs. Most people get sick because bacteria is let into contact with internal organs through our mouths, noses, etc. Our skin does not let bacteria in.

Keeps internal organs warm - Skin is not fur, it does not provide significant resistance to cold. However, it does make a big difference compared to bare organs. It protects our internal organs from heat by sweating, as well as cold by preventing too much cold from reaching our organs.

I hope this helped. Have a great day!

What is the molar mass of (NH), CO?<br> 138g<br> 788<br> 968<br> 1448

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The molar mass of $(NH_{4})_{2}CO_{3}$ is 96.8 g/mol

Explanation:

The given molecular formula - $(NH_{4})_{2}CO_{3}$

Individual molar masses of each element in the compound is as follows.

Molar mass of nitrogen - 14.01 g/mol

Molar mass of of hydrogen = 1.008g/mol

Molar mass of carbon = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen =16.00 g/mol

Molar mass of $(NH_{4})_{2}CO_{3}$ is

$2\times[1(14.01)+4(1.008)]+1(12.01)+3(16.00)= 96.8g/mol$

Therefore,The molar mass of $(NH_{4})_{2}CO_{3}$ is 96.8 g/mol

What are heterogeneous and homogeneous?

vichka [17]

A homogeneous mixture has the same uniform appearance and composition throughout.
A heterogeneous mixture consists of visibly different substances or phases. The three phases or states of matter are gas, liquid, and solid.
A homogeneous mixture has the same uniform appearance and composition throughout. Many homogeneous mixtures are commonly referred to as solutions. A heterogeneous mixture consists of visibly different substances or phases.

Activity A moles need hlp

I would always start by balancing your carbons, and then balancing the rest from there.

1. C2H5OH + O2 —> CO2 + H2O - You have two carbons on the left and one on the right. Multiply CO2 by 2.
C2H5OH + O2 —> 2CO2 + H2O

Now balance hydrogen. You have 6 on the left and 2 on the right. Multiply H2O by 3.
C2H5OH + O2 —> 2CO2 + 3H2O

Now balance oxygen. You have 3 on the left and 7 on the right. You need 4 more on the left. Don’t multiply the C2H5OH by anything because that will change the numbers of everything else too. Multiply O2 by 3 instead.
C2H5OH + 3O2 —> 2CO2 + 3H2O

Check that all atoms are now balanced, and you’re good.

2. Same process as before.

First carbons - C3H8 + O2 —> 3CO2 + H2O
Then hydrogens - C3H8 + O2 —> 3CO2 + 4H2O
Then oxygens - C3H8 + 5O2 —> 3CO2 + 4H2O

3. Same again.

Carbons) C6H12O6 + O2 —> 6CO2 + H2O
Hydrogens) C6H12O6 + O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H2O
Oxygens) C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H2O

4. The general reaction for a combustion reaction is a hydrocarbon reacting with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
