Answer:

4.both beneficial and harmful

Explanation:

Mutations that occur in bacteria that make them immune to antibiotic action can be a beneficial or harmful mutation, it depends on whether you are referring to the bacteria or to humans.

The mutation is beneficial to the bacterium because with the mutation it becomes immune to the antibiotic reaction, achieves resistance and becomes an "unbeatable" bacterium, so the mutation has a huge benefit for the bacterium because it allows it to survive and continue its life. metabolism normally.  

On the other hand, this mutation is extremely harmful to humans, because the antibiotic is what we have to fight bacteria and get rid of infections that can cause us many problems. For this reason, the mutation that makes bacteria resistant to antibiotics is highly harmful to humans.

Why does air have different pressures
yaroslaw [1]
 Because, at lower elevation, everything is tightly packed, and theres more air. As for at higher elevation (like for example at the top of mount everest) There is less air... The higher the elevation, the less air.

A solution of sodium hydroxide was titrated against a solution of sulfuric acid. How many moles of sodium hydroxide would react
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

2 mole of Sodium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of Sulfuric acid

Explanation:

Write down the equation in the beginning with reactants and products:

NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + H₂0

Now try to balance it. Try with Na first:

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + H₂0

Na atoms are balanced. There are 6 Oxygen atoms on the right and 5 on the left. Balance by increasing the H₂O moles:

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂0

Check if H atoms are also balanced. They are. That means our final reaction is:

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂0

2 Moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of H₂SO₄
