Answer:

Methane

Explanation:

If you lived in Alaska, the natural gas that you would be able to keep in an outdoor storage tank in winter would be methane. The melting point of methane is -183ºC, while the boiling point is -164ºC. These temperatures are much lower than the average temperatures of Alaska (the lowest temperature ever recorded in Anchorage was −38.9 °C).

Answer:

Methane

Explanation:

The gas that you could keep in an outdoor storage tank in winter in Alaska is Methane.

The reason is the extreme low temperature during the winter. The boiling point of butane is 44 ºF ( -1ºC) and that of propane is a higher -43.6 º F but still within the range of average minimum winter temperature in Alaska (-50 ªF). Therefore we will have condensation in the tanks and not enough gas pressure.

Methane having  a boling point  of  -259 ºF will not condense at the low wintertime temperatures in Alaska.

How are the atomic number and the number of protons related to each other? how do the number of protons, number of neutrons, and
jarptica [38.1K]

The atomic number (Z) uniquely identifies a chemical element. In an uncharged atom, the atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons.

The atomic number, Z, should not be confused with the mass number, A, which is the number of nucleons, the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

In this video Kristine Born explains this two concepts in more detail.

sashaice [31]
An element or compound which occurs naturally in the earth is a mineral. Minerals are substances formed naturally in the Earth.They have a definite chemical composition and structure. For example, the minerals gold or diamonds you’d find by mining or panning for gold since they are found naturally in the Earth.

What exactly are the physical properties of a candle that has been blown out?
pogonyaev
Let's think, if you have a candle ( that is not blown out ) the physical properties are the candles mass and hence ( hence of the candle is the stiffness of the candle), weight, length, density, surface friction ( force resisting the relative motion of solid surface), and the energy content. You then, need to go to bed, so, therefore, you want to blow the candle out. Once you blow the candle out, the candle is evidently going to have at least a couple of different physical properties, than before it was blown out. The physical properties are a different color, the length of the candle, the texture, you could also apply the mass of the candleholder, and then, the mass of the candleholder and the candle, last but not least, the mass of just the candle. Once you observe the candle, you should be able to plug in those observations into the physical properties. As to, because you asked' what are the physical properties of a candle that has been blown out... We are going to assume that we did observe the candle, and the length of the candle in cm, after being blown out is 30cm. (12 inches; customary). Next, that the color of the candle is the same (let us say the original color is taffy pink).  We can then say that the texture of the candle is waxy and the top and smooth as you get to the bottom ( the texture depends on how long the candle was burning, but we are saying that we lit the candle, and then immediately blew the flame out ) . We now have the mass of the candleholder, which will scientificity stay the same. Now, for the mass of the candleholder and the candle, that all depends of how long you let it burn ( remember, we are saying we lit the wick and then immediately  blew the fame out ). So, the candle really didn't change is mass, so, therefore, wouldn't affect the mass of the candleholder including the candle. That also goes to the mass of the candle.

A drought hits the habitat of a semi-aquatic bird population. All ponds dry up, and fish populations decline. There are two grou
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The population of the long-legged birds decreases.

Explanation:

The population of the short-legged birds increases whereas the population of  long-legged birds decreases due to availability of food in that environment. The long-legged birds feed on fish whose population decreases due to drought conditions so the population of long-legged birds also decreases while on the other hand, the population of short-legged birds increases or remain the same because they feed on the insects and the insects are available in large amount and less affected by the drought conditions.
