Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When it rains, then mud in the backyards become wet. It is known that earthworms live inside earth and diffusion of oxygen gets slower through water than through air.

As a result, supply of oxygen to the worms decreases in wet mud hence, they come to the surface in order to breathe.

Thus, we can conclude that wet mud in the backyard most likely formed the earthworms.

What is 2\5 please let me know what the answer

mariarad [96]

Answer: 0.4

Explanation: The easiest way to do this is to get a denominator of 10. To do this, multiply each number in 2/5 by 2. You will get the fraction 4/10. With the denominator of 10, the answer would be 0.4 by putting the decimal in front of the number.

Choose the correct net ionic equation for the reaction (if a reaction occurs) between CaCl2 and AgNO3: Group of answer choices

Levart [38]

Answer:

2Ag⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) -> 2AgCl(s)

Explanation:

Silver nitrate and calcium chloride will react in a double displacement reaction (which has to produce a precipitate, a gas, or water to have a reaction).

This reaction will produce a silver chloride precipitate and a solution of calcium nitrate.

The reaction will be 2AgNO3(aq) + CaCl2(aq) -> 2AgCl(s) + Ca(NO3)2(aq)

To write a net ionic equation:

1. Write the balanced molecular equation.

2AgNO3 + CaCl2 -> 2AgCl(ppt) + Ca(NO3)2

2. Write the balanced complete ionic equation.

To write the complete ionic equation:

- Start with a balanced molecular equation.

2AgNO3(aq) + CaCl2(aq) -> 2AgCl(s) + Ca(NO3)2(aq)

- Break all soluble strong electrolytes (compounds with (aq) beside them) into their ions

indicate the correct formula and charge of each ion

indicate the correct number of each ion

write (aq) after each ion

- Bring down all compounds with (s), (l), or (g) unchanged.

2Ag⁺(aq) + 2NO³⁻(aq) + Ca²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) -> 2AgCl(s) + Ca²⁺(aq) + 2NO³⁻(aq)

3. Cross out the spectator ions that are present. Spectator ions are ions that are present in the reaction mixture but do not participate in it. You can recognize spectator ions by looking for ions that are present on both sides of the equation.

4. Write the "leftovers" as the net ionic equation.

2Ag⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) -> 2AgCl(s)

A 125 ml sample of gas is at STP how many moles of gas are in the sample

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

5.58*10⁻³ moles of gas are in the sample.

Explanation:

The STP conditions refer to the standard temperature and pressure. Pressure values at 1 atmosphere and temperature at 0 ° C are used and are reference values for gases. And in these conditions 1 mole of any gas occupies an approximate volume of 22.4 liters.

Being 1000 mL equivalent to 1 L, then 125 mL is equal to 0.125 L. Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by STP conditions 22.4 L are occupied by 1 mole, 0.125 L are occupied by how many moles?

$amount of moles=\frac{0.125 L*1 mole}{22.4 L}$
