Answer:

When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, and your lungs expand into it. The muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

Explanation:

What is the coded properties of liquid solid and gas​
Sophie [7]

Gas :

A state of matter that has no definite shape as well as no definite volume is called gas: it occupied all the space container which it is kept.

Liquid :

A state of matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape is called liquid. it occupies or attains the shape of the container in which it is kept.

Solid:

A state of matter that has both definite shape and volume is called solid.

Liquids are less common than solids, gases, and plasmas. The reason is that the liquid state of any substance can exist only within a relatively narrow range of temperature and pressure.

the same substance may exist in three states. for example, water in the form of ice is solid; in the form of steam is gas, while a usual form of water is liquid.

it is the inter-molecular distances or spaces between the molecules, which makes difference among the three states. in solids, the molecules are closely packed with one another and have minimum inter-molecular distance. in gases, the molecules are free from one another and have very large inter-molecular distance. in liquids the situation is intermediate. they have large inter-molecular distance as compared to solids but much less than gases.

A chemist has a small amount of compound ( b.p. = 65 oC) that must be fractionally distilled. Yet, the Chemist does not want to
koban [17]

Answer:

The chemist can either:

a. Use a small fractionation apparatus.

b. Add a compound with a much higher boiling point.

Explanation:

Using a smaller fractionation apparatus or Vigreux column will help to minimize loss of the distillate.

If a compound with a higher boiling point is added, the vapors of this liquid will displace the vapors of this small amount of compound with a lower boiling point. This compound with a higher boiling point is known as a Chaser.

As you move upward, from level, in an energy pyramid, available energy ____.
svetlana [45]

The available energy decreases as one moves upward in an energy pyramid.

<h3>Energy pyramid</h3>

The energy pyramid represents a model of how energy is transferred from one trophic level to another in ecosystems.

Energy is transferred from producers to primary consumers, from primary to secondary consumers, from secondary to tertiary consumers, and so on.

Only about 10% of the available energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next with the remaining 90% being lost as heat to the environment.

Thus, as one moves up the energy pyramid, the available energy decreases. This is why organisms at the higher end of the energy pyramid have to devise an efficient way of extracting energy from their foods.
