As liquid water freezes, the molecules arrange themselves in a way that takes up more space than liquid water. What would most l

ikely occur if the arrangement of frozen water molecules required less space than that of liquid water molecules?
A).The density of ice would be greater than the density of liquid water, and ice would not float.

B). Ice would form in layers, and liquid water would get trapped in between the layers.
Liquid water would have a higher specific heat, making it less likely to undergo vaporization.

C).The freezing point of water would decrease, making ice more difficult to form.

<span>If ice were denser than liquid water, icebergs would likely sink (even given that sea water is denser than normal water). If this were the case then oceans would likely freeze over. (For example, ice laid down in the winter months would not completely thaw in the summer months, and the next winter cycle would result in a net increase of ice).</span>

Answer:

A).The density of ice would be greater than the density of liquid water, and ice would not float.  

Explanation:

The density of substance depends on its mass and volume. It can be defined as the matter contained in a unit volume.

A denser substance sinks while a less dense substance floats in a fluid.

Ice floats on water because its water molecules occupy more space than liquid water molecules. If the frozen water molecules occupied lesser space, its density would have increased and it would sink in water.

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Hydrophobic Properties

Explanation:

Lipids and water do not mix. The contents of cells in the larger proportion is the cytoplasm, this is made up mostly of water. The lipids serve as a barrier; the contents that are distributed in a watery medium will not be able to mix. This is due to the hydro-phobic or water "hating" capacity of lipids.

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Heart valve problems

Explanation:

Marfan syndrome is a syndrome caused by a genetic defect in a gene that is important to define the structure of a protein called fibrin 1 which makes a part of connective tissue.  

One of the main problems with people having this disorder is heart problems. Most of the people with Marfan syndrome have damaged aorta. Aorta plays an important role in carrying blood from the heart to other body parts. Therefore heart valve problem is the clinical finding that would be a treatment priority for this client.  

Other symptoms associated with these disorders are tall aperture, long and disproportionate arm and leg, abnormal spine structure, etc.

How can human beings work to combat and reduce the many negative impacts to the planet?<br> I
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

  • Use more renewable resources (solar, wind, hydroelectric, etc) and fewer fossil fuels (coal, petroleum, and natural gas), since fossil fuels produce a lot of carbon dioxide
  • Eat less livestock (farm animals, such as cows, produce a lot of methane and waste) and possibly become vegetarian/vegan
  • Decrease deforestation (trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen)
  • Recycle/reuse more items to decrease the amount of trash in oceans, forests, and other ecosystems
