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.

Force F with arrow = (9.0 N)i hat − (9.0 N)k acts on a pebble with position vector r with arrow = (0.90 m)j − (1.2 m)k relative
vredina [299]

Answer:

τ = - (8.1 N-m) i - (10.8 N-m) j - (8.1 N-m) k

Explanation:

Given

r = (0 m) i + (0.9 m) j - (1.2 m) k

F = (9 N) i + (0 N) j - (9 N) k

We can apply

τ = r x F

τ = ((0 m) i + (0.9 m) j - (1.2 m) k) x ((9 N) i + (0 N) j - (9 N) k)

⇒  τ = - (8.1 N-m) i - (10.8 N-m) j - (8.1 N-m) k

You are given a sample of limestone, which is mostly CaCO3, to determine the mass percentage of Ca in the rock. You dissolve the
irakobra [83]

Answer:

34.15% is the mass percentage of calcium in the limestone.

Explanation:

Mass of precipitate that is calcium oxalate = 140.2 mg = 0.1402 g

1 mg = 0.001 g

Moles of calcium oxalate = \frac{0.1402 g}{128 g/mol}=0.001095 mol

1 mole of calcium oxalate have 1 mole of calcium atom.

Then 0.001095 moles of calcium oxalate will have 0.001095 moles of calcium atom.

Mass of 0.001095 moles of calcium :

0.001095 mol × 40 g/mol = 0.04381 g

Mass of sample of limestone = 128.3 mg = 0.1283 g

Percentage of calcium in limestone:

\frac{0.04381 g}{0.1283 g}\times 100=34.15\%

34.15% is the mass percentage of calcium in the limestone.

A solution is 40.00% by volume benzene (C6H6) in carbon tetrachloride at 20°C. The vapor pressure of pure benzene at this temper
finlep [7]

Answer:

The total vapor pressure is 84.29 mmHg

Explanation:

Step 1:  Data given

Solution = 40.00 (v/v) % benzene in CCl4

Temperature = 20.00 °C

The vapor pressure of pure benzene at 20.00 °C = 74.61 mmHg

Density of benzene is 0.87865 g/cm3

The vapor pressure of pure carbon tetrachloride is 91.32 mmHg

We suppose the total volume = 100 mL

Step 2: Calculate volume benzene and CCl4

40 % benzene = 40 mL

60 % mL CCl4 = 60 mL

Step 3: Calculate mass benzene

Mass = density * volume

Mass of benzene = 40.00 mL *  0.87865 g/mL = 35.146 g

Step 4: Calculate moles of benzene

Moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles of benzene  = 35.146 grams / 78 g/mol  = 0.45059 mol

Step 5: Calculate mass of CCl4

Mass of CCl4 = 60 mL * 1.5940 g/mL = 95.64 g

Step 6: Calculate moles CCl4

Number of moles of CCl4 = 95.64 grams / 154g/mol = 0.62104 mol

Step 7: Calculate total number of moles

Total number of moles = moles benzene + moles CCl4

0.45059 moles + 0.62104 moles = 1.07163 mol

Step 8: Calculate mole fraction benzene and CCl4

Mole fraction = moles benzene / total moles

Mole fraction of benzene = 0.45059 / 1.07163 = 0.4205

Mole fraction of CCl4 = 0.62104 / 1.07163 = 0.5795

Step 9: Calculate partial pressure

Partial pressure of benzene = 0.4205 * 74.61 = 31.37 mmHg

Partial pressure of CCl4      = 0.5795 * 91.32 = 52.92 mmHg

Total vapor pressure = 31.37 + 52.92 = 84.29 mmHg

The total vapor pressure is 84.29 mmHg
