Answer:

C) O, C, H, N

Explanation:

Roughly 96% of the mass of the human body is made up of the four elements which are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen.

The elements, oxygen and hydrogen are found predominantly in water, which makes up 60% of body's weight approximately. Element carbon is synonymous with life. The central role of the element, carbon is due to the fact that the carbon has 4 bonding sites which allow the element for the building of long and the complex chains of molecules. Nitrogen is found in the organic molecules, including the amino acids which make up proteins, and nucleic acids which make up DNA.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

El volumen del cuerpo es el mismo al comienzo de la experiencia.

Explicación:

El volumen del cuerpo es el mismo al principio porque el volumen no cambia si la temperatura permanece igual. Si cambiamos la temperatura i. mi. Al aumentar la temperatura, las moléculas comienzan a expandirse y se produce un aumento de volumen mientras que cuando disminuimos la temperatura, las moléculas de esa sustancia comienzan a contraerse y el volumen de esa sustancia disminuye. Entonces concluimos que el volumen depende de la temperatura.

What is the molarity of NO−3 in 0.160M KNO3?
zubka84 [21]
A solution of KNO3 consists of ions of potassium and nitrate. The ionic equation is expressed as:

KNO3 = K+ + NO3-

There is 1 is to 1 ratio between the substances. So, the molarity of NO3- in the solution is calculated as follows:

0.160 mol / L KNO3 ( 1 mol NO3- / 1 mol KNO3 ) = 0.160 M NO3-

TEA [102]

Answer:

HCO₂/H₂O is not the acid-base conjugate pair.

Explanation:

<em>Acid and conjugate base pairs differ by an H+ ion.</em>

Neither HCO₂ nor H₂O has lost or gained protons.

The conjugate acid of H₂O is H₃O⁺

The conjugate base of HCO₃⁻ is CO₃²⁻

[A conjugate acid has one more H⁺ than its base]
