Answer:

B.red

Explanation:

Electromagnetic spectrum is range of the frequencies and their respective wavelengths of the various type of the electromagnetic radiation.

In order of the decreasing wavelength the spectrum are:

Red , Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet

Increasing wavelength is the opposite trend. Thus, The longest visible wavelength is red and the shortest is violet.

Also, Violet light gets scattered the most while the red light gets scattered the least.

During the time of the sunset, the Earth is rotating away from the Sun. Thus, most of the light colors scatters in the ways and the color that least scatter which is red reaches the Earth.

That's why, at the time of sunrise and sunset, the sky looks red.

<span>The first method to determine the chemical composition of a substance in space was using light. By determining red shift in the observed spectrum of light they could determine the elements they were observing. Different elements change the way light behaves and from this scientists can determine the makeup of things such as stars and nebulas.</span>

What volume will 1.27 moles of helium gas occupy at 80.00 °C and 1.00 atm?

White raven [17]

Answer:

36.8 L

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 80 °C to Kelvin temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

T(°C) = 80 °C

T(K) = 80 + 273

T(K) = 353 K

Finally, we shall determine the volume occupied by the helium gas. This can be obtained as follow:

Number of mole (n) = 1.27 moles

Temperature (T) = 353 K

Pressure (P) = 1 atm

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

Volume (V) =?

PV = nRT

1 × V = 1.27 × 0.0821 × 353

V = 36.8 L

Thus, the volume occupied by the helium gas is 36.8 L

Vegetarian diets can provide high levels of antioxidants and a lipid profile that can help prevent coronary disease. However, th

Sati [7]

Answer: the best statement is 1 (Vitamin B12 (cobolamin) is missing from the vegan diet and very low in the lactovegetarian diet.)

Explanation:

Vitamin B12( cobalamin) is a water soluble vitamin that is essential in the formation of red blood cells. It also serves as a coenzyme in the metabolic reaction of the body. Such reaction includes:

- the remethylation of methionine from homocysteine which is catalyzed by methionine synthase and requires methylcobalamin.

The deficiency of vitamin B12 can lead to the following:

- elevated homocysteine ,

- an increase in methylmalonate

This is due to deficiencies in methionine synthase and methylmalonic acid mutase, respectively in individuals on vegan diet for several years.

Vegans are vegetarians that don't include diary or animal products in their meals. This predisposes them to lack of Vitamin B12. Dairy products provide some vitamin B12 in the lactovegetarian diet. Therefore statement 1 is the correct answer, thanks.
