Which of the following BEST describes the process of evolution by natural selection?

Chemistry
1 answer:
svlad2 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<em>The correct option is B)  a gradual change of the traits of a species over time</em>

Explanation:

The theory of natural selection explains the gradual changes which occur in the population of a species over time. According to natural selection, those organisms which are better adapted to live in an environment survive and pass on their traits to their offsprings. As a result, the traits of a species tend to change over time through the process of evolution. Evolutionary changes do not occur rapidly, instead, they can take many years to occur.

17. An industrially important element contains
likoan [24]

Answer:

Iron (Fe)

Explanation:

The number of electrons (-) is usually the same as the number of protons (+) in the atom of the element (unless it is an ion).

The element described has 26 electrons, so we can assume that it has 26 protons as well. The number of protons in an atom is the atomic number of element that the atom is.

Element 26 on the PTE is Iron (Fe), which does rust (oxidation) in air and water.

What is The pH and pOH of a 1.00x10-3M solution of CH3COOH (Ka=1.75x10-5) ?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

<h2>pH = 3.9</h2><h2>pOH = 10.1</h2>

Explanation:

Since CH _ 3COOH is a weak acid to find the pH of CH _ 3COOH we use the formula

pH =  -  \frac{1}{2}   log(Ka)  -  \frac{1}{2}  log(c)

where

Ka is the acid dissociation constant

c is the concentration

From the question

Ka of CH _ 3COOH = 1.75 × 10^-5

c = 1.00 × 10-³M

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the pH

That's

pH =  \frac{1}{2} ( -  log(1.75 \times {10 }^{ - 5} -  log(1.00 \times  {10}^{ - 3} )  )  \\   =  \frac{1}{2} (4.757  + 3) \\  =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 7.757) \\  = 3.8785 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:

We have the answer as

<h3>pH = 3.9</h3>

To find the pOH we use the formula

pH + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - pH

pOH = 14 - 3.9

We have the answer as

<h3>pOH = 10.1</h3>

Hope this helps you

A barium hydroxide solution is prepared by dissolving 2.06 g of Ba(OH)2 in water to make 32.9 mL of solution. What is the concen
navik [9.2K]

Answer:  1.36 M

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

n = moles of solute

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

moles of solute= \frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{2.06g}{171g/mol}=0.0120moles

Molarity=\frac{0.0120\times 1000}{32.9}=0.364M

The balanced reaction between barium hydroxide and perchloric acid:

2HCIO_4+Ba(OH_)2\rightarrow BaCIO_4+2H_2O

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HClO_4

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is Ba(OH)_2

We are given:

n_1=1\\M_1=?\\V_1=8.50mL\\n_2=2\\M_2=0.364M\\V_2=15.9mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1\times M_1\times 8.50=2\times 0.364\times 15.9\\\\M_1=1.36M

Thus the concentration of the acid is 1.36 M
