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.

Which of the following statements is true of combustion reactions?
enot [183]

Gasoline contains C and H atoms. During combustion, the carbon (C) from the fuel combines with oxygen (O2) from the air to produce carbon dioxide (CO2).
2 C8H18 + 25 O2 → 16 CO2 + 18 H2O.

Combustion reactions release large amounts of heat. They have negative enthalpy. A negative enthalpy represents an exothermic reaction, releasing heat. This reaction is spontaneous and exothermic, since we can obtain energy from the reaction; the ΔG (free energy) is negative (So 1 is true).

ΔG < 0, so the free energy of the system decreases with the reaction. Remember that when there is a negative ΔG the reaction goes from higher free energy to lower free energy, like in this case.

With circulation, the heart provides your body with:
Ivanshal [37]
<h3>Answer:  D) all of the above</h3>

Explanation:

The lungs pump oxygen in and carbon dioxide out, which goes through the blood stream to help with the cell's energy needs.

Nutrients pass through the blood stream as well. The nutrients start with the digestive system (mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine) before going into the blood stream. The nutrients are building blocks to help make new cells when old ones die off.

When those cells die off, the body sheds them like dead skin, but internal dead cells are passed off as waste. This waste and other byproducts the body doesn't need passes through the blood stream as well.

In short, the blood stream is basically the highway to help get desired materials (eg: oxygen and nutrients) and get rid of waste (eg: carbon dioxide and other unwanted byproducts or dead cell material)

So that's why the answer includes A, B and C.

Nitrogen gas (112 g) reacts with hydrogen gas to produce 40.8 g of ammonia according to the following
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

%yield of NH₃ = 30%

Explanation:

Actual yield of NH₃ = 40.8g

Theoretical yield = ?

Equation of reaction

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

Molar mass of NH₃ = 17g/mol

Molarmass of N = 14.00

2 molecules of N = 2 * 14.00 = 28g/mol

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Mass = number of moles * molar mass

Mass = 1 * 28.00 = 28g of N₂ (the number of moles of N₂ from the equation is 1).

From the equation of reaction,

28g of N₂ produce (2 * 17)g of NH₃

28g of N₂ = 34g of NH₃

112g of N₂ = x g of NH₃

X = (112 * 34) / 28

X = 136g of NH₃

Theoretical yield = 136g of NH₃

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100

% yield = (40.8 / 136) * 100

% yield = 0.3 * 100

% yield = 30%

The pOH of a solution is 6.0. Which statement is correct?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer : Option D) The pH of the solution is 8.0.

Explanation : pOH of a solution is a measure of hydroxide ion (OH^{-}) concentration in a particular solution. It gives the measure of alkalinity of a solution. Normally, aqueous solutions at 25°C have pOH which is less than 7 are usually alkaline, when pOH is found to be greater than 7 then they are acidic and when pOH will be equal to 7 then it is neutral.

pH + pOH = 14, this relationship is used to find pH of any unknown solution with given pOH value,

Here, we known pOH is 6.0, so we get,

pH = 14 - 6 = 8.0;

Hence, the pH will be 8.0.
