What type of wave do the contractions of the snake muscles make as the snake moves forward

1 answer:

3 0

Actually, there are four kinds of reptile motion:

Concertina - vermiform. Circular muscles around the snake squeeze the front of the snake's body out long, then the latter half is pulled forward.

Rectilinear crawling - Belly scutes are moved forward individually in a wave-like motion.

Side-winding - Snake's version of "walking". Use by several species to move over fluidic substrates, such as sand.

Lateral undulation - Most common form of movement. Snake presses on alternating pressure points to force body forward (or backward)

When the following redox equation is balanced with smallest whole number coefficients, the coefficient for nitrogen dioxide will

Phoenix [80]

In a redox reaction, electron could be lost or gained. The coefficients in the balanced redox reaction are; 1/2, 5, 1, 5, 2, 1.

<h3>What is a redox reaction equation?</h3>

A redox reaction equation shows the species that were oxidized or reduced in a redox reaction. In this case, we are asked for the coefficients in a balanced redox reaction equation.

We must recall that five electrons were lost/gained in the process hence the balanced reaction equation is;

1/2I2 + 5HNO3 -----> IO3^- + 5NO2 + 2H2O + H^+

The coefficients in the balanced equation therefore are; 1/2, 5, 1, 5, 2, 1.

What happens when stress builds at faults? Select three options

Stels [109]

Answer:

When Stress builds up at faults, the 3 options that are correct and can happen

- Rock can bend and break;

- Earthquakes develop at Earth's surface

- Forces affect Earth's rocks

Explanation:

This is a Geography question

- Rock can bend and break

When Stress builds up at faults, it leads to a geologic activity that causes a lot of pressure that lead to the movement of the earth's crust. The movement creates such intense pressure on the rocks, that, with time, they twist, bend, and break due to this pressure.

- Earthquakes develop at Earth's surface

As explained earlier, this intense pressure can lead to rocks breaking, as these rocks break inside the earth's crust, the gaps that come into play after the breaking of the rocks causes the remaining rocks to adjust, releasing a lot of force, and subsequently creating earthquakes.

- Forces affect Earth's rocks

As explained earlier, the forces resulting from these intense pressures, affect the earth's rocks. They move them both vertically and horizontally, change their shape and eventually break them.

Hope this Helps!!!

What volumes of 0.200 M HCOOH and 2.00 M NaOH would make 500. mL of a buffer with the same pH as a buffer made from 475 mL of 0.

Hitman42 [59]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

[HCOOH] = 0.2 M, [NaOH] = 2.0 M,

V = 500 ml, [Benzoic acid] = 0.2 M

First, we will calculate the number of moles of benzoic acid as follows.

No. of moles of benzoic acid = Molarity × Volume

= $2 \times 0.475$

= 0.095 mol

And, moles of NaOH present in the solution will be as follows.

No. of moles of NaOH = Molarity × Volume

= $2 \times 0.025$

= 0.05 mol

Hence, the ICE table for the chemical equation will be as follows.

$C_{6}H_{5}COOH + NaOH \rightarrow C_{6}H_{5}COONa + H_{2}O$

Initial: 0.095 0.05 0 0

Equlbm: (0.095 - 0.05) 0 0.05

pH = $pK_{a} + log \frac{Base}{Acid}$

= $4.2 + log \frac{0.05}{0.045}$

= 4.245

For,

$HCOOH + NaOH \rightarrow HCOONa + H_{2}O$

Initial: 0.2x 2(0.5 - x) 0

Equlbm: 0.2x - 2(0.5 - x) 0 2(0.5 - x)

As,

pH = $pK_{a} + log \frac{Base}{Acid}$

4.245 = 3.75 + $log \frac{Base}{Acid}$

$log \frac{Base}{Acid}$ = 0.5

$\frac{Base}{Acid}$ = 3.162

Now,

$\frac{2(0.5 - x)}{0.2x - 2(0.5 - x)}$ = 3.162

x = 0.464 L

Volume of NaOH = (0.5 - 0.464) L

= 0.036 L

= 36 ml (as 1 L = 1000 mL)

And, volume of formic acid is 464 mL.
