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.

Write a balanced half-reaction for the oxidation of aqueous hydrazine N2H4 to gaseous nitrogen N2 in basic aqueous solution
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

N2H2(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) ----------> N2(g) + 2H2O(l) + 2e

Explanation:

Hydrazine is mostly used in thermal engineering as an anticorrosive agent. Hydrazine can be oxidized in aqueous solution as shown in the equation above. Oxidation has to do with loss of electrons and increase in oxidation number.

The oxidation number of nitrogen in the equation increased from -1 in hydrazine on the lefthand side of the reaction equation to zero in nitrogen on the right hand side of the reaction equation. Two electrons were lost in the process as shown.

taurus [48]

The law of conservation of energy or first law of thermodynamics

Explanation:

From the context we can infer that Mr. Jones was describing the law of conservation of energy.

According to the law of conservation of energy:

  "energy is not created nor destroyed by can be transformed from one form to another" .

  The captured energy is a form of energy and it is change into other forms in the ecosystem.

Energy is initially captured in the ecosystem by plants.

Which sentence describes the bond formed between two identical atoms?
Lilit [14]
The best answer is C

Since identical atoms would have the same electronegativity, thus making its electronegativity difference close to zero, if not equal to zero (O), making the bond between the two to be covalent. Thus, a chemical bond formed between two identical atoms is a covalent bond.
