anygoal [31]

Answer:

Metabolic water is a water obtained from eating other organisms.

Explanation:

Water is a by product that is gained in the process of cellular respiration. In respiration process, food molecules are broken down in the mitochondria of the cell for generating energy in the form of Adenine tri phosphate (ATP). With this ATP, water and carbondioxide is also produced. Carbondioxide is removed from the body while water is used in different processes. So desert beetle takes water from eating food substances.

Diethyl ether, used as an anesthetic, is synthesized by heating ethanol with concentrated sulfuric acid. Write the equilibrium c
marin [14]

Answer:

THE EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT EXPRESSION Kc = \frac{[C2H5OH]}{[C2H5OC2H5]}

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant, Kc is an expression given by the ratio of the concentrations of the products over the reactants. TN.B: the activities of pure solids and liquids are equal to 1.

Kc = \frac{[products]^n}{[reactants]^n} where n= no of moles

Reaction equation:

2C2H5OH  \frac{conc H2SO4, 140^o}{}→ C2H5OC2H5

⇒ Kc = \frac{[C2H5OC2H5] [H2)]}{[C2H5OH]^2} but [H20] = 1

∴ Kc = \frac{[C2H5OH]}{[C2H5OC2H5]}

I found this "gem" like rock in my front-yard when I was digging. Can anyone help me identify it? I would be more than grateful!
Anna71 [15]

It’s cool that you found that! You can try identifying it by its luster, color, breakage, etc, Try getting a piece of paper or something, scrap it on the paper, and see what it leaves behind. That’s a way many scientists identify rocks/crystals. You can also google types of rocks and see if you find a match. You always need to look at its color, as the color is the most distinctive feature of a rock. If you’ve since all of these things and your very serious about it, you can try calling somewhere or someone who would know (like a scientist who studies rocks).
