The substance is dead or alive is determined by response or consciousness of the substance to external stimulus.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The living organisms do have several characteristics. They are growth, reproduction, consciousness etc. But among them, consciousness is the only feature that's confined within only the living world. No non living things have this feature.

So if the scientist can find that the substance found have some response to external stimulus, then it does have life. And if it doesn't response to any sort of external stimulus, then it doesn't have life.

Part 1: Use complete sentences to explain why solar storms occur.
Virty [35]
A geomagnetic storm (commonly referred to as a solar storm) is a temporary disturbance of the Earth's magnetosphere caused by a solar wind shock wave and/or cloud of magnetic field that interacts with the Earth's magnetic field.


Solar flares, coronal mass ejections, high-speed solar wind, and solar energetic particles are all forms of solar activity.

Using the thermodynamic information in the ALEKS Data tab, calculate the standard reaction entropy of the following chemical rea
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

-122 J/K

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced reaction.

N₂(g) + 2 O₂(g) ⇒ 2 NO₂(g)

We can calculate the standard reaction entropy (ΔS°) using the following expression.

ΔS° = Σ ηp × Sf°p - Σ ηr × Sf°r

where,

  • η: stoichiometric coefficients of products and reactants
  • Sf°r: entropies of formation of products and reactants

ΔS° = 2 mol × 240.06 J/K.mol - 1 mol × 191.61 J/K.mol - 2 mol × 205.14 J/K.mol

ΔS° = -121.77 J/K ≈ -122 J/K

The chemical energy created is stored as ___________________ or __________________.
svp [43]

Chemical energy is kept inside the bonds that are connected to withatoms with other atoms and molecules with other molecules.

Because chemical energy is kept in likestorage. It is an shape of potential energy.

When a  chemical reaction takes place, the stored chemical energy is let out.
