Answer:

In <u>biology</u>, <em>adaptation</em> has three related meanings. The definition that relates most to this question is given below:

<em>Adaptation is the dynamic evolutionary process that fits organisms to their environment, enhancing their evolutionary fitness. </em>

<em />

A Nettle plant also known as common nettle, stinging nettle nettle leaf, or just a nettle or stinger, is a herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the family Urticaceae with the ability to sting.

Explanation:

One of the biological traits that the nettle has is its ability to produce inflammatory effect (that is a burning stinging sensation on the skin known as "contact urticaria"). This unpleasant effect is achieved by impaling the skin of the animal via spicules. The spicules cause mechanical irritation.

The stinging effect is also achieved by the introduction of biochemical irritants such as histamine, serotonin and choline among other chemicals into the skin.

This sort of defence or protection mechanisam keeps animals away from the nettle.

Cheers!

Stinging weeds have created stinging cells as an adjustment to hinder herbivores from eating them. The plants contain long, thin, empty hairs that cover most of the stem and the underside of the clears out. The dock abandons themselves contain oxalic corrosive, which deflects herbivores from eating them.

A 0.130 mole quantity of NiCl 2 is added to a liter of 1.20 M NH 3 solution. What is the concentration of Ni 2 + ions at equilib
rosijanka [135]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

A 0.130 mole quantity of NiCl₂ is added to a liter of 1.20 M NH₃ solution. What is the concentration of Ni²⁺ ions at equilibrium? Assume the formation constant of Ni(NH₃)₆²⁺ is 5.5 × 10⁸

Answer : The concentration of Ni^{2+} ions at equilibrium is, 4.31\times 10^{-8}

Explanation :  Given,

Moles of NiCl_2 = 0.130 mol

Volume of solution = 1 L

Concentration=\frac{Moles }{Volume}

Concentration of NiCl_2 = Concentration of Ni^{2+} = 0.130 M

Concentration of NH_3 = 1.20 M

K_f=5.5\times 10^8

The equilibrium reaction will be:

                      Ni^{2+}(aq)+6NH_3(aq)\rightarrow [Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}

Initial conc.    0.130       1.20                     0

At eqm.             x       [1.20-6(0.130)]      0.130

                                   = 0.42

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

K_f=\frac{[Ni(NH_3)_6^{2+}]}{[Ni^{2+}][NH_3]^6}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

5.5\times 10^8=\frac{(0.130)}{(x)\times (0.42)^6}

x=4.31\times 10^{-8}

Thus, the concentration of Ni^{2+} ions at equilibrium is, 4.31\times 10^{-8}

What pressure would have to be applied to steam at 315°c to condense the steam to liquid water (δh vap = 40.7 kj/mol)?
sladkih [1.3K]

 Best Answer

Water steam condenses if its pressure is equal to vapor saturation vapor pressure. 

Use the Clausius-Clapeyron relation. 
I states the temperature gradient of the saturation pressure is equal to the quotient of molar enthalpy of phase change divided by molar volume change due to phase transition time temperature: 
dp/dT = ΔH / (T·ΔV) 
Because liquid volume is small compared to vapor volume 
ΔV in vaporization is approximately equal to to the vapor volume. Further assume ideal gas phase: 
ΔV ≈ V_v = R·T/p 
Hence 
dp/dT = ΔHv / (R·T²/p) 
<=> 
dlnp/dT = ΔHv / (R·T²) 

If you solve this DE an apply boundary condition p(T₀)= p₀. 
you get the common form: 
ln(p/p₀) = (ΔHv/R)·(1/T₀ - 1/T) 
<=> 
p = p₀·exp{(ΔHv/R)·(1/T₀ - 1/T)} 

For this problem use normal boiling point of water as reference point: 
T₀ =100°C = 373.15K and p₀ = 1atm 
Therefore the saturation vapor pressure at 
T = 350°C = 623.15K 
is 
p = 1atm ·exp{(40700J / 8.314472kJ/mol)·(1/373.15K - 1/623.15K)} = 193 atm 
hope this helps
