Answer : Option C) Rock Cycle.

Explanation : Rock cycle is a basic concept in geology which deals with the time-consuming transitions that occurs through geologic time among the three main rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. It does not involves living organisms in this cycle.

Rest all the other cycle involves living organisms, carbon cycle has indirect impact of humans on it as it deals with the photosynthesis and the metabolism activities.

Oxygen cycle deals with the circulation of the oxygen through various forms in the nature including humans.

Nitrogen cycle involves nitrifying bacteria which converts the atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia and then convert it to nitrites for the use of plants.

A 52.0 mL portion of a 1.20 M solution is diluted to a total volume of 278 mL. A 139 mL portion of that solution is diluted by a
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

C_3=0.125M

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, we can divide the problem in two steps:

1. Dilution to 278 mL: here, the initial concentration and volume are 1.20 M and 52.0 mL respectively, and a final volume of 278 mL, it means that the moles remain the same so we can write:

V_1C_1=V_2C_2

So we solve for C2:

C_2=\frac{C_1V_1}{V_2}=\frac{52.0mL*1.20M}{278mL}\\\\C_2=0.224M

2. Now, since 111 mL of water is added, we compute the final volume, V3:

V_3=139+111=250mL

So, the final concentration of the 139 mL portion is:

C_3=\frac{139 mL*0.224M}{250mL}\\\\C_3=0.125M

Best regards!

C (graphite) is used as a lubricant, whereas C (diamond) is used as an abrasive. Why is this?
zysi [14]

Answer:

Carbon atoms in graphite and diamond are arranged in different ways. Hence, the two allotropes of carbon have different physical properties.

Explanation:

Both graphite and diamond are both made of only carbon atoms. However, their physical properties differ from each other. Hence, they are called allotropes. Think about how these carbon atoms are arranged in each of the allotropes.

<h3>Graphite</h3>

In graphite, each carbon atom is bonded to three other carbon atoms. These carbon atoms will be located in the same plane. A chunk of graphite can contain many of these planes.

Each carbon atom has four valence electrons. Three of these electrons will be used in the bonds. The other electron will be delocalized. These electrons would flow between the sheets of carbon atoms. That keeps the sheets separate and allow them to slide on top of each other.

<h3>Diamond</h3>

In diamond, each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms. These carbon atoms will form a tetrahedral network.  

In graphite, there's a significant separation between two adjacent sheets of carbon atoms. The force between the two sheets is rather weak. When a piece of graphite is between two objects that move over one another, the layers in the graphite would also slide over one another. Since the attraction between two adjacent sheets isn't very strong, there wouldn't be much resistance. Hence the graphite acts as a lubricant.  

In contrast, most of the carbon atoms in a piece of diamond would be connected to each other. Unlike the sheets in graphite, in a diamond there are almost no moving parts. Also, the forces between neighboring carbon atoms are very strong. When an external force acts on a chunk of diamond, the carbon atoms would barely move. Hence, the structure appears to be very rigid. That gives diamond its abrasive properties.

2. What is the difference between an organ and an organ system
aleksandrvk [35]
The difference between an organ and a tissue is that basically tissues are a group of similar cells that works together. Then a group of tissue that works together would make up an organ. Groups of organ working together later makes up an organ system. This is the main difference between an organ and a tissue.
