I think the correct answer would be the first option. As the hiker reaches the top of the mountain, the plastic bag would, most likely, expand. Before starting, the plastic bag would have a certain amount of gas particles inside. As the you hike, the pressure would decrease causing for the gas molecules to reestablish equilibrium thus pushing the bag outwards. In other words, expanding the bag. Also, base from the ideal gas equation, PV = nRT, at constant temperature and number of moles, pressure and volume are inversely related. Thus, as the pressure decreases, the volume of the system would increase accordingly.
Genetic variation is important because it allows natural selection to increase or decrease frequency of alleles already in the population
<u>Answer:</u> The volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid required is 16.53 mL
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the volume of concentrated solution, we use the equation:

where,
are the molarity and volume of the concentrated solution
are the molarity and volume of diluted solution
We are given:
Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid required is 16.53 mL
Position of element in periodic table is depend on the electronic configuration of element.
Element with 62 electrons has following electronic configuration:
<span>1s2 2s2 </span>2p6 <span>3s2 </span>3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 <span>5s2 </span>4d10 5p6 4f6 <span>6s<span>2
</span></span>
From above electronic configuration, it can be seen that highest value of principal quantum number, where electron is present, is 6. Hence, element belongs to 6th period.
Further, last electron has entered f-orbital, hence it is a f-block element. Position of f-block element is the bottom of periodic table.
Further, there are 6 electrons in f-orbital. Hence, it is the 6th f-block element in 6th period of periodic table.
