Answer:

a) the wet density of the CL sample is 0.0453 lb/in³

b) the water content in the sample is 65.37%

c) the dry density of the CL sample is 0.0274 lb/in³

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter d = 2.83 in

length L = 6 in

weight m = 1.71 lbs

A piece of clay sample had wet-weight of 140.9 grams  and dry-weight of 85.2 grams

a) wet density of the CL sample

wet density can be expressed as  p = M /v

V is volume of sample which is; π/4×d²×L

so p = M / π/4×d²×L

we substitute

p = 1.71 / (π/4 × (2.83)²× 6

p = 1.71 / 37.741

p = 0.0453 lbs/in³

so the wet density of the CL sample is 0.0453 lb/in³

b)

water content of sample is taken as;

w =  (wet_weight - dry_weight) / dry_weight

we substitute

w = (140.9 - 85.2) / 85.2

w = 55.7 / 85.2

w = 0.6537 = 65.37%

therefore the water content in the sample is 65.37%

c)

dry density of the CL sample

to determine the dry density, we say;

Sd = p / ( 1 + w )

we substitute

Sd = 0.0453 / ( 1 + 0.6537)

Sd = 0.0453 /  1.6537

Sd = 0.0274 lb/in³

therefore the dry density of the CL sample is 0.0274 lb/in³

If enough changes occur in the gene pool of a species, it is possible that a new species would be created.
lianna [129]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

A gene pool is the sum total of all the genes(sum of alleles)of a species and population at any given time is known as gene pool.

The new species are created in nature by four mechanisms such as geographic isolation (allopatric speciation), reproductive isolation (sympatric speciation), mating behaviour (parapatric speciation).

Due to any of these factors when population acquire unique changes in their genes and enough changes have been introduced in the gene pool of the population with time, two population become distinct from each other and not able to interbreed leads to the formation of new species.

Magnesium and iron are metallic elements. How does a mole of magnesium compare with a mole of iron? A mole of iron has more atom
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

They both have the same number of atoms

Explanation:

The number that indicates the amount of particles in a compound is the Avogadro's number (NA).

It does not matter the mass of compound we have, If we have 1 mol we will be sure that we are talking about 6.02×10²³ particles

6.02×10²³ represents the amount of atoms in twelve grams of 12-pure carbon and it is considered a reference to measure the amount of all kinds of substances present in a given system.
