True. Because they are white we know that they reflect light, and thus heat.

Answer: True.

Explanation: The green house gases have the ability to trap heat and make the environment temperature suitable for living.

Like green house gases, clouds also trap heat and this is the reason why the temperature of the earth is more on a cloudy day as compared on a clear day.

Hence, this proves that the clouds can also trap heat as like that of green house gases.

A ball is dropped from a height of 1.20 m and hits the floor. The ball compresses and then reforms to spring upwards from the fl

diamong [38]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{98 m$\cdot$s}^{-2}}$

Explanation:

The formula for the velocity of the ball is

$v = \sqrt{2gh}$

1. Velocity at time of impact

$v = -\sqrt{2 \times 9.807 \times 1.20} = -\sqrt{23.54} = -\textbf{4.85 m/s}$

2. Velocity on rebound

The ball has enough upward velocity to reach a height of 0.86 m.

$v = \sqrt{2 \times 9.807 \times 0.86} = \sqrt{16.87} =\textbf{4.11 m/s}$

3. Acceleration

$a = \dfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{4.11 - (-4.85)}{ 0.091} = \dfrac{8.96 }{0.091} =\textbf{98 m$\cdot$s}^{\mathbf{-2}}\\\\\text{The acceleration while the ball is in contact with the floor is $\large \boxed{\textbf{98 m$\cdot$s}^{\mathbf{-2}}}$}$

Linolenic acid (C18H30O2 - M.W. = 278.42 g/mol) reacts with hydrogen gas according to the equation: C18H30O2 + 3H2 (g) → C18H36O

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

2.53 L is the volume of H₂ needed

Explanation:

The reaction is: C₁₈H₃₀O₂ + 3H₂ → C₁₈H₃₆O₂

By the way we can say, that 1 mol of linolenic acid reacts with 3 moles of oxygen in order to produce, 1 mol of stearic acid.

By stoichiometry, ratio is 1:3

Let's convert the mass of the linolenic acid to moles:

10.5 g . 1 mol / 278.42 g = 0.0377 moles

We apply a rule of three:

1 mol of linolenic acid needs 3 moles of H₂ to react

Then, 0.0377 moles will react with (0.0377 . 3 )/1 = 0.113 moles of hydrogen

We apply the Ideal Gases Law to find out the volume (condition of measure are STP) → P . V = n . R . T → V = ( n . R .T ) / P

V = (0.113 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 273.15K) 1 atm = 2.53 L

How does adaption allow mice with the mutation to survive better in some areas

Debora [2.8K]

Answer: Mutations can cause instant adaptations, while natural selection is the process by which adaptations occurs over a series of generations. Adaptations are changes or processes of changes by which an organism or species becomes better suited for its environment. A mutation is an alteration of the DNA sequence.

A 1.00 liter solution contains 0.24 M hypochlorous acid and 0.31 M sodium hypochlorite. If 0.160 moles of potassium hydroxide ar

ryzh [129]

Explanation:

When OH- (as in potassium hydroxide) is added, it reacts with the acid (HOCl) to reduce the amount of HOCl and increase the concentration of sodium hypochlorite.

Potassium hydroxide will react with the hypochlorous acid to produce hypochlorite ions. In the process, some of the weak acid will be consumed, along with the added strong base.

This occurs as follows:

HClO(aq) + KOH(aq) → KClO(aq) + H2O(l)

since water is formed, this maintains the pH. Thus ...

A. The number of moles of HClO will decrease. - TRUE

B. The number of moles of ClO- will increase. - TRUE

C. The equilibrium concentration of H3O+ will remain the same. - TRUE

D. The pH will decrease. - FALSE

E. The ratio of [HClO] / [ClO-] will decrease. -TRUE. It will decrease as HClO goes down and ClO- goes up.
