Answer:

h = 0.346 m

Explanation:

mercury barometer:

  • Pa = ρgh

∴ Pa = 0.455 atm = 46102.875 Pa = 46102.875 Kg/ms²

∴ ρ = 13600 Kg/m³

∴ g = 9.80 m/s²

⇒ h = (46102.875 Kg/ms²) / (13600 Kg/m³ )(9.80 m/s²)

⇒ h = 0.346 m

The quinine in tonic water shines a strange blue-white colour when lit with UV light. Explain what is happening here.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

Quinine contains phosphors, substances that glow when they are hit with certain wavelengths of light.

The phosphors in quinine absorb UV light, which is invisible to our eyes.

Electrons in the phosphors absorb the UV energy and are excited to higher energy levels.

When the electrons drop back to lower energy levels, they emit some of this energy as a glowing blue visible light.

What are the effects of climate change? Answer this question integrating other topics of science.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

»Climatic change leads to malnutrition.

e.g when its cold season, osmoregulation decreases and rate of metabolism declines.

This is because the enzymes lack that optimum temperature for their catalytic activity to take place hence improper digestion.

»Leads to promotion of predation in ecosystem.

such as reptiles e.g snakes, lizards get away from shelters on cold days since they are cold blooded, hence their predators such as animals, birds increase.
