Which vocabulary term is survival of the fittest

1 answer:

6 0

Natural selection also means survival of the fittest. This is where organisms who are better adapted to their environment survive and produce more offspring compared to the ones who aren’t as adapted to their environment.

How many electrons can possess this set of quantum numbers: principal quantum number n = 4, magnetic quantum number mℓ = −1?

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

6 electrons

Explanation:

To solve this question lets determine the possible quantum numbers for the principal quantum number n = 4.

For the quantum number l which describes the shape of the orbital, we have the possible values : 0 to n-1.

Thus, for n = 4 the l can assume the values 0, 1, 2, 3 ( 4 possible shapes )

For the angular quantum number, ml, which tell us the orientation in space,we have the values - l to + l.

So lets determine the number of orbials which can have the values -l for n=4

l = 0 ml = 0

l= 1 ml = -1,0,1

l= 2 ml = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2

l= 3 ml = -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3

So we have three orbital with ml = - 1 and from Pauli´s exclusion principle we can have up two electrons in each orbital. Thus for n= 4 we can have up to 6 electrons with ml = -1

What does a velocity measurement include that a speed measurement does not? A: Time B:direction C:distance D: acceleration

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

B. Direction

Explanation:

Speed is a scalar quantity and doesn't keep track of direction : Velocity is a vector quantity and is direction aware.

Which is a valid velocity reading for an object?

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

45 m / s North is a valid vector reading for an object.

Explanation:

Then velocity will be defined by x km / hr North. And, magnitude of velocity defines the speed of the body. Although this tells the speed, but there is no description for the direction, so it's not a vector reading

A mixture of helium and oxygen is used in scuba diving tanks to help prevent ""the bends"". 46 L helium and 12 L oxygen are comb

marin [14]

Answer

given,

For helium

Volume,V = 46 L

Pressure,P = 1 atm

Temperature,T = 25°C = 273 +25 = 298 K

R=0.0821 L . atm /mole.K

n₁ = ?

number of moles

we know

P V = n R T

$n_1 =\dfrac{46 \times 1}{0.0821\times 298}$

n₁ = 1.89 moles

For oxygen

Volume,V = 12 L

Pressure,P = 1 atm

Temperature,T = 25°C = 273 +25 = 298 K

R=0.0821 L . atm /mole.K

n₂ = ?

number of moles

we know

P V = n R T

$n_2 =\dfrac{12 \times 1}{0.0821\times 298}$

n₂ = 0.49 moles

Total volume of tank = 5 L

temperature of tank = 298 K

Partial pressure of helium

$P_1=\dfrac{n_1 R T}{V}$

$P_1=\dfrac{1.89\times 0.0821\times 298}{5}$

P₁ = 9.25 atm

Partial pressure of oxygen

$P_2=\dfrac{n_2 R T}{V}$

$P_2=\dfrac{0.49\times 0.0821\times 298}{5}$

P₂ = 2.39 atm

total pressure

P = P₁ + P₂

P = 9.25 + 2.39

P = 11.64 atm

A sound wave traveling downward with a speed of about 4,000 m/s suddenly slows to 1,500 m/s not far below the Earth’s surface. W

mezya [45]

<h2>Answer: an underground lake</h2>

Explanation:

In general, sound (mechanical waves) travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. This is because <u>the speed of the mechanical waves is determined by a relationship between the elastic properties of the medium </u>in which they are propagated and the mass per unit volume of the medium (that is:<u>density</u>).

In other words: The speed of sound varies depending on the medium through which the sound waves travel.

So, if we are told the sound wave initially had a speed of 4,000 m/s and it suddenly decreases to 1,500 m/s, this means the sound waves passed from a solid medium to a liquid medium.

Hence, the correct option is: an underground lake.
