Scientists use radioactive decay to date fossils and artifacts through a process called "carbon dating," which measures the amount of carbon still left in a dead object. The less carbon that exists, the longer that animal or plant as been dead.

Under which conditions of temperature and pressure does a real gas behave most like an ideal gas
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Generally, a gas behaves more like an ideal gas at higher temperature and lower pressure, as the potential energy due to intermolecular forces becomes less significant compared with the particles' kinetic energy, and the size of the molecules becomes less significant compared to the empty space between them.

Given a balanced chemical equation below: 3Cu(s) + 2H3PO4 --- &gt; Cu3(PO4)2 + 3H2 How many moles of copper are needed to react
Harman [31]

Answer:

7.5 moles

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

3Cu + 2H3PO4 —> Cu3(PO4)2 + 3H2

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of Cu reacted with 2 moles of H3PO4.

Therefore, Xmol of Cu will react with 5 moles of H3PO4 i.e

Xmol of Cu = (3 x 5)/2

Xmol of Cu = 7.5 moles

Therefore, 7.5 moles of Cu are needed to react with 5 moles of H3PO4.

Based on these ideas, what are the pro's and con's for both Sexual Reproduction and Asexual reproduction?
Svetradugi [14.3K]
Asexual
Pro:
1. inexpensive to make offspring (usually make a lot at a time and not invest a lot of time in raising them).
2. Do not need a mate to reproduce.
3. Can rapidly expand a population
Con:
1. genetically identical- prone to extinction because once a parasite has evolved to attack a specific genotype, it can kill them all.
2. Lineages usually don't last longer than a couple thousand years

Sexual:
Pros:
1. Genetically unique- so more likely to create a "successful" offspring
2. Lineages more likely to last hundreds of thousands of years

Cons:
1. More effort into creating offspring- require more parental effort
2. STD's- easily to pass
3. need to find a mate or else won't be successful as an organism.

Hope this helps you.
