The action of natural selection consists in selecting individuals more adapted to a given ecological condition, eliminating those disadvantaged for that same condition. The most appropriate expression refers to the greater likelihood of a given individual surviving and leaving offspring in a given environment. Natural selection acts permanently on all populations. Even in stable and constant environments, natural selection acts in a stabilizing manner, is present, eliminating deviant phenotypes.

An adaptation is a feature that is common in a population because it provides some improved function. Adaptations are very fit for their functions and are produced by natural selection. Adaptations can take many forms: behavior that allows better predator avoidance, a protein that works best at body temperature, or an anatomical feature that allows the body to access valuable new resources - all of which can be adaptations. Many of the things that most impress us in nature are believed to be adaptations.

The specific heat of copper metal is 0. 385 J/(g °C). How much energy must be added to a 35. 0-gram sample of copper to change t

Rus_ich [418]

The amount of heat required for changing the temperature of copper has been 606 J. Thus, option B is correct.

Specific heat has been defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance by 1 degree Celsius.

The heat required to raise the temperature has been expressed as:

$\rm Heat=mass\;\times\;specific\;heat\;\times\;Change\;in\;temperature$

<h3>Computation for the heat energy required</h3>

The given specific heat of copper has been $\rm 0.385\;J/g^\circ C$

The mass of copper has been, $\rm 35\;g$

The initial temperature of copper has been, $\rm 20^\circ C$

The final temperature of copper has been, $\rm 65^\circ C$

The change in temperature has been, $\Delta T$

$\Delta T=\text{Final\;temperature-Initial\;temperature}\\\Delta T =65^\circ \text C-20^\circ \text C\\\Delta T=45^\circ \text C$

Substituting the values for the heat required as:

$\rm Heat=35\;g\;\times\;0.385\;J/g^\circ C\;\times\;45^\circ C\\Heat=606\;J$

The amount of heat required for changing the temperature of copper has been 606 J. Thus, option B is correct.

After a covalent bond has stabilized an atom, the atom will have

Dafna1 [17]

<em>Answer:</em>

The atom have a full valence electron shell.

<em>Explanation:</em>

My question is that why covalent bonds take place?

Every atoms tends to from bond with another atoms in order to get nearest electronic configuration of nobel gases. They become stable when their valence shell become complete. So when covelant bond forms between atoms, share electrons to each other and stabilize themselves.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

The correct option is Methylene chloride

Explanation:

Methylene chloride or Dichloromethane has an organic formula of CH2CL2. it is commonly used as solvent, it is very volatile and dissolves many organic compounds including a mixture containing benzoic acid, 2,4-dinitrobenzoic acid, and 2,4,6-trinitrobenzoic acid. It is colorless, has a chloroform like odor and Miscible in ethyl acetate, alcohol, hexanes, benzene, CCl4, diethyl ether, CHCl3.

The reaction AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) is a(n) ______________ reaction.

Temka [501]

Answer : The correct option is, (e) precipitation reaction

Explanation :

Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

Precipitation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which an insoluble salt formed when two aqueous solutions are combined.

The insoluble salt that settle down in the solution is known an precipitate.

Single replacement reaction : A chemical reaction in which the more reactive element replace the less reactive element.

It is represented as,

$A+BC\rightarrow AC+B$

In this reaction, A is more reactive element and B is less reactive element.

Acid-base reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which an acid react with a base to give salt and water as a product.

The given chemical reaction is:

$AgNO_3(aq)+NaCl(aq)\rightarrow AgCl(s)+NaNO_3(aq)$

This reaction is a precipitation reaction in which the two aqueous solution silver nitrate and sodium chloride combined to give sodium nitrate solution and silver chloride as a precipitate. In precipitation reaction there is no changes in oxidation state of the element.

Hence, the correct option is, (e) precipitation
