How does a Camel prevent the loss of water from their body?

Schach [20]

Camels lose less water through their urine and feces than many other mammals. Their kidneys concentrate water heavily, leading to salty urine. The intestines also reabsorb water from intestinal material as it is digested, so dry feces are produced.

A sample of gas in a closed container at a temperature of 76°c and a pressure of 5.0 atm is heated to 399°c. What pressure does

NikAS [45]

Answer: The pressure that the gas exert at high temperature is 9.63 atm

Explanation:

To calculate the final pressure of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$
