A lunar eclipse happens when the Moon passes directly behind the Earth and into its shadow. This can only happen when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned. Because of this, a lunar eclipse can only happen on the night of a full moon.

The moon gives off a reddish appearance during this time because the only light reaching the moon and reflected off of its surface is the light refracted by the Earth's atmosphere (the same reason a sunrise/sunset appears reddish).

A totally eclipsed full moon is also known as a Blood Moon because of it's colour

creativ13 [48]

Answer: Option C) Animal

The cell wall is tough, flexible and fairly rigid layer that surrounds some types of cells. It is located outside the cell membrane and provides cells with structural support and protection. All BUT ONE type of organism has cells with cell walls. That is an animal

Explanation:

One distinguishing feature of animal cells compared to other living cells is the absence of cell wall.

However, the animal cell possess a cell membrane, with which it regulates substances entering or leaving the cell, and also provide protection and mechanical support for the cell against foreign invaders such as pathogens.

A normal breath takes in about 1.0 L of air. If air has an average molar mass of 28.8 g per 1 mol and has a density of 0.97 g/mL
Ann [662]

Taking into account the definition of density and Avogadro's Number, you take 2.0286×10²⁵ molecules of air.

<h3>What is density</h3>

Density is defined as the property that matter, whether solid, liquid or gas, has to compress into a given space.

In other words, density is a quantity that allows us to measure the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance.

Then, the expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

<h3>What is Avogadro's Number</h3>

Avogadro's Number or Avogadro's Constant is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023×10²³ particles per mole. Avogadro's number applies to any substance.

<h3>Amount of molecules of air</h3>

In this case, you know that:

  • Density= 0.97 \frac{g}{mL}
  • Volume= 1 L= 1000 mL

Replacing in the definition of density:

0.97 \frac{g}{mL}=\frac{mass}{1000 mL}

Solving:

mass= 0.97 \frac{g}{mL}  ×1000 mL

<u><em>mass= 970 g</em></u>

Air has an average molar mass of 28.8 g per 1 mol. Then 970 grams are contained in 33.68 moles.

Now, considering the definition of Avogadro's number you can apply the following rule of three: If 1 mole of air contains 6.023×10²³ molecules, 33.68 moles contains how many molecules?

amount of molecules = (33.68 moles× 6.023×10²³ molecules)÷ 1 mole

<u><em>amount of molecules= 2.0286×10²⁵ molecules</em></u>

Finally, you take 2.0286×10²⁵ molecules of air.
