Answer:

Species

Explanation:

Species is the group of organisms able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring.

Let's break down each word in the question:

"Organisms" means living thing. It can be a plant or animal like we usually think of, but it also includes the really small single-celled living things like some bacteria.

"Interbreed" means to mate with each other.

"Fertile" means that the living thing can also have babies.

"Offspring" means the children that are born.

"Fertile offspring" means that the children that are made must be able to have babies of their own. For example, if a frog and a bird could interbreed, they might produce offspring (children). But, if those frog-birds cannot also have children, then frog-bird is not a species.

How much energy is lost to condense 300. grams of steam at 100.C?

True [87]

Energy lost to condense = 803.4 kJ

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Condensation of steam through 2 stages:

1. phase change(steam to water)

2. cool down(100 to 0 C)

1. phase change(condensation)

Lv==latent heat of vaporization for water=2260 J/g

$\tt Q=300\times 2260=678000~J$

2. cool down

c=specific heat for water=4.18 J/g C

$\tt Q=300\times 4.18\times (100-0)=125400$

Total heat =

$\tt 678000+125400=803400~J$

A chemist measures the energy change ?H during the following reaction: 2HgO (s) ?2Hg (l) +O2 (g) =?H182.kJ Use the information t

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

A. endothermic.

A. Yes, absorbed.

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

2 HgO(s) ⇒ 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g) ΔH = 182 kJ

The enthalpy of the reaction is positive (ΔH > 0), which means that the reaction is endothermic.

182 kJ are absorbed when 2 moles of HgO react (molar mass 216.59 g/mol). The heat absorbed when 72.8 g of HgO react is:

$72.8g.\frac{1mol}{216.59g} .\frac{182kJ}{2mol} =30.6kJ/mol$

A chemist measures the energy change ?H during the following reaction:

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

(A) endothermic

(A) Yes, absorbed

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

2 Fe₂O₃(s) ⇒ 4 FeO(s) + O₂(g) ΔH = 560 kJ

Since ΔH > 0, the reaction is endothermic.

We can establish the following relations:

560 kJ are absorbed when 2 moles of Fe₂O₃ react.
The molar mass of Fe₂O₃ is 160 g/mol.

Suppose 66.6 g of Fe₂O₃ react. The heat absorbed is:

$66.6g.\frac{1mol}{160g} .\frac{560kJ}{2mol} =117kJ$

How do atoms in molecules bond? <br> plz answer I will give brainliest

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Via covalent bonds

Explanation:

Atoms in molecules are bonded together via covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are bonds that are formed by sharing of the valence electrons between two atoms.

The atoms can be of the same kind or of different kinds.

In most molecules, the two atoms are connected by sharing of their valence electrons.
This way, each atom can attain stability by becoming isoelectric with the nearest noble gas.
Some molecules are monoatomic, some are polyatomic.
