Answer:

option (c) 14.7 lbs

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Area of the column = 1 square inch

Now,

we know Air pressure at the ground surface level from the atmosphere

= 14.7 Psi

also, it can be represented as

14.7 Psi = 14.7 pounds per square inch

Therefore,

Weight of the air weigh within a column that is 1 square inch in area

= Air pressure × Area

= 14.7 pounds per square inch × 1 square inch

= 14.7 pounds i.e 14.7 lbs

Hence,

The answer is option (c) 14.7 lbs

What influence did hernan Cortez have on the region that is now modern day Mexico? Was it good or bad? Why or why not?
Lena [83]

Cortez set the basis for social, economic, ethnic, religious, political changes in what is now Mexico, which was of great benefit for the Spanish, but devastating to the local populations.

Explanation:

Hernan Cortez was a Spanish conquistador. He was sent in what is now Mexico in order to gain territory for the Spanish crown, and get as much wealth as possible. In order to do so, Cortez was merciless, and that had devastating effects on the locals.

The Spanish conquistadors massacred the local populations. They destroyed their culture, their cities, and gave their best to assimilate them. On top of that, the diseases that spread out from the Spanish killed off much of the local populations.

Cortez, and the other conquistadors, took every piece of gold and silver they were able to get their hands on, robbing the region. For the Spanish that was of great benefit though, as they became very wealthy and powerful.

Some of the people that suffered from Cortez and the other conquistadors were:

  • Aztecs
  • Zapotecs
  • Toltecs
  • Maya
  • Tlaxcala
  • Mixtec

Consider a sample of water from a stream found to have an initial DO of 10.0 mg/L. It is placed directly into a BOD bottle and i
Leokris [45]

Answer:

The BOD5 for this sample is 5 mg/L

Explanation:

The BOD5 takes into consideration the difference between the initial DO and the final DO divided by the fraction of the sample tested in a 300 mL BOD flask. The problem states that the sample was directly placed in a BOD bottle so we assume that the volume used was 300 mL of the water sample. The fraction of water is 1 (300/300).

BOD5=\frac{DOi-DOf}{fraction}

BOD5 = (10-5)/1

BOD 5 = 5 mg/L
