Answer:

Gravity drives all mass wasting.

Explanation:

Mass wasting can be defined as the process of wasting away of earth's outer crust. This movement is also known as slope movement that causes large rock, soil, and debris to move downward, a force driven by gravity.

The term is often used interchangeably with landslide yet it is different. It is also known as mass movement as is cause massive downslope movement of rock, regolith, snow, ice, and-the-like on the earth's outer crust.

<u>All these movements are driven mainly by gravity. Gravity consantly tries to pull the rocks and soil down the slope but the resisting power. also known as shear strength, of moutains helps them to deny the gravitional force.</u>

Thus from the given options the statement that can be said to be true about mass wasting is that mass wasting is driven by gravity. So, the correct option is C.

Show how you might synthesize this compound from an alkyl bromide and a nucleophile in an SN2 reaction. Use the wedge/hash bond
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

See the image 1

Explanation:

If you look carefully at the progress of the SN2 reaction, you will realize something very important about the outcome. The nucleophile, being an electron-rich species, must attack the electrophilic carbon from the back side relative to the location of the leaving group. Approach from the front side simply doesn't work: the leaving group - which is also an electron-rich group - blocks the way. (see image 2)

The result of this backside attack is that the stereochemical configuration at the central carbon inverts as the reaction proceeds. In a sense, the molecule is turned inside out. At the transition state, the electrophilic carbon and the three 'R' substituents all lie on the same plane. (see image 3)

What this means is that SN2 reactions whether enzyme catalyzed or not, are inherently stereoselective: when the substitution takes place at a stereocenter, we can confidently predict the stereochemical configuration of the product.

Alexandra decides to climb Mt. Krumpett, which is 5000 m high. She determines that this will require a total of 1350 kcal of ene
Kisachek [45]
Alexandra requires a total energy of 1350 kcal for the climb
by eating proteins, fats and carbohydrates the amount of calories per gram contributed varies.
Proteins and carbohydrates - 4 calories per gram 
fats - 9 calories and gram
This means that by eating the same mass of fats and proteins/ carbohydrats the calories gained from fats is higher.
each bar contains;
<span>50 g of carbohydrates - 4 calories/g x 50 g = 200 calories
10 g of fat - 9 calories/g x 10 g = 90 calories 
40 g of protein - 4 calories/g x 40 g = 160 calories 
total amount of calories from 1 bar = 200 + 90 + 160 = 450 calories 
energy required = 1 350 000 calories 
bars required = 1 350 000/450 = 3000
alexandra should consume 3000 bars </span>
