As it dissolves a large number of solid, liquid and gaseous substances it's called a universal solvent. It's important for living thing because all of them depend on water to survive. For example, many organisms live in the water and they find some of the nutrients that are necessary for live dissolved in water - gases included.

Which statement is true about a reaction represented by a chemical equation that shows energy as a reactant?
vovikov84 [41]
A. It absorbs energy.
reactants are located on the left side of the equation, meaning energy among with other reactants were needed to get the reaction going, so it absorbed energy, which is also the endothermic process. The opposite of that would be having energy on the right side with the products which means that the reaction would've released energy which is the exothermic process. Hope this helps!

Calculate the heat absorbed by a sample of water that has a mass of 45.00 g when the temperature increases from 21.0oC to 38.5 o
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The heat absorbed by the sample of water is 3,294.9 J

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

The sensible heat of a body is the amount of heat received or transferred by a body when it undergoes a temperature variation (Δt) without there being a change of physical state (solid, liquid or gaseous). Its mathematical expression is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

Where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this case:

  • Q=?
  • m= 45 g
  • c= 4.184 \frac{J}{g*C}
  • ΔT= Tfinal - Tinitial= 38.5 C - 21 C= 17.5 C

Replacing:

Q= 4.184 \frac{J}{g*C} * 45 g* 17.5 C

Solving:

Q=3,294.9 J

<u><em>The heat absorbed by the sample of water is 3,294.9 J</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Both renewable and nonrenewable resources are used within our society. How do the uses of nonrenewable resources compare to the
Mila [183]

Renewable energy has the potential to have all the same applications as non-renewable. But we currently don't have the resources and potential.

So I would say the answer would be B, but this question is somewhat confusing.

What sort of evidence would support at least one of the components of the
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

(not sure) The origin of all cells observed can be traced to previous cells

Explanation:

- not all cells convert energy (?) (this I'm not sure but think so? might be wrong tho)

- not all cells have cell walls e.g. animal cells only have the cell membrane, no cell wall

- Rocks and other nonliving things are composed of cells: non living things are composed of the elements and not cells (unless they were previously alive, then they contain dead cells)
