A corpse discovered in the desert at 5:00 PM was found to have larvae from the blow fly species Phormia regina that had just dev

eloped into the first instar stage. Controlled experiments show that this species requires 16.0 hours at 26.7 ∘ C to develop from an egg to the first instar stage. The average nighttime temperature in the desert was 22.4 ∘ C , and the average daytime temperature was 37.8 ∘ C . If the sunset occurred at 9:00 PM and the sunrise occurred at 7:00 AM, how many hours prior to discovery was the corpse placed in the desert?

Answer:

12.19 hours prior to discovery was the corpse placed in the desert.

Explanation:

Heat required for fly eggs to develop into first instar larvae = Exposure\,time\times temperature

From the given,

Exposure time = 16 hrs

Temperature = 27 C

=16\times 27 = 427.2^{o}C

The day time exposed hours is 10 hrs.-(7.00am-5.00pm)

=10\times 37.8 = 378^{o}C

So, the extra heat  = 427.2-378= 49.2

The addition heat divided by average temperature.

Average temperature = 22.4 C

=\frac{49.2}{22.4}= 2.19 hrs

So, the total time exposed is night time hours to day time hours.

= 10+2.19 = 12.19 hrs.

Therefore, 12.19 hours prior to discovery was the corpse placed in the desert.

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

13.5 %

Explanation:

First we<u> calculate the mass of 500 mL of water</u>, using <em>its density</em>:

  • Volume * Density = Mass
  • 500 mL * 1.00 g/mL = 500 g

Then we <u>calculate the mass percent of potassium sulfate</u>, using the formula:

Mass of Potassium Sulfate / Total Mass * 100%

  • 78 g / (78 + 500) g * 100 % = 13.5 %

Answer:

Answer:A

Answer:AExplanation:

Answer:AExplanation:Molar Mass of glucose = (6×12)+(1×12)+(16×6)= 180g/mol

= 180g/molNumber of moles of Glucose = Mass/Molar Mass

= 180g/molNumber of moles of Glucose = Mass/Molar Mass= 5000/180

= 180g/molNumber of moles of Glucose = Mass/Molar Mass= 5000/180= 27.7778moles

= 180g/molNumber of moles of Glucose = Mass/Molar Mass= 5000/180= 27.7778molesIn the balanced equation of fermentation, the ratio of glucose to ethanol is 2:1

= 180g/molNumber of moles of Glucose = Mass/Molar Mass= 5000/180= 27.7778molesIn the balanced equation of fermentation, the ratio of glucose to ethanol is 2:1Therefore the number of moles of ethanol is 2×27.7778

slega [8]

Answer:

The two would end up repelling each other very strongly and more energy would ultimately be required to keep the metal-ligand system in place

Explanation:

A complex is made up a central metal atom or ion and ligands. Ligands are lewis bases and they possess lone pairs of electrons. A complex is formed when electrons are donated from ligand species to metals.

However, if the ligand has a negative charge at a particular location and we try to put electrons from the metal near the electrons from the ligand, the two would end up repelling each other very strongly and more energy would ultimately be required to keep the metal-ligand system in place.
