¿de que manera se relacionan las fuerzas intermoleculares con la flotabilidad del hielo?

1 answer:

7 0

La estructura del hielo, forma un retículo que ocupa más espacio y es menos denso que el agua líquida. Cuando el agua se enfría, se contrae su volumen, como sucede en todos los cuerpos, pero al alcanzar los 4ºC cesa la contracción y su estructura se dilata hasta transformarse en hielo en el punto de congelación. Por eso el hielo es menos denso que el agua y flota sobre ella. Gracias a esta anomalía del agua, los lagos, ríos y mares, comienzan a congelarse desde la superficie hacia abajo, y esta costra de hielo superficial sirve de abrigo a los seres que viven, pues aunque la temperatura ambiental sea extremadamente baja (-50 0 -60º C), el agua de la superficie transformada en hielo mantiene constante su temperatura en 0ºC. Y el agua del fondo queda protegida térmicamente del exterior, y puede alcanzar los 4º o 5ºC, que son suficientes para la supervivencia de ciertas especies. En esta propiedad se basan los esquimales para construir sus casa de hielo (iglúes).

A red-colored female New Hampshire Red chicken mated with a red-colored male New Hampshire Red chicken and produced golden-color

kifflom [539]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The statement that could best explain how the offspring could inherit a trait not shown in the phenotypes of either parent would be that both parents are heterozygous for the red color.

Heterozygous parents can produce offspring with a phenotype that is distinctly different from that of either parent if the recessive alleles come together during random fusion of gametes.

Let us assume that the red color (R) in the New Hampshire chicken is the dominant one and the recessive one is the golden color (r). The genotype of the heterozygous parents would be Rr.

Rr x Rr

RR Rr Rr rr

There is a probability (1/4) of producing a golden color chicken (rr), a trait that is not displayed in either of the parents.

skad [1K]

Answer:

0.136g

Explanation:

A student dissolved 5.00 g of Co(NO3)2 in enough water to make 100. mL of stock solution. He took 4.00 mL of the stock solution and then diluted it with water to give 275. mL of a final solution. How many grams of NO3- ion are there in the final solution?

$Co(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)$
