butalik [34]3 years ago

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.

Consider 100.0-g samples of two different compounds consisting only of carbon and oxygen. one compound contains 27.2 g of carbon
Sliva [168]

This is a tricky question. All that matters are ratios of percentages, not percentages themselves. So no one should directly compare 27.2 with 42.9. We must and shall compare the ratios (27.2 to 72.8) and (42.9 to 57.1).

Take them both down to 1 to and see what happens.

Working out the formulas knowing atomic masses is a bit beside the point; this is how people first DISCOVERED the idea of atomic mass.

A

Carbon Oxygen

27.2g 72.8g (100-27.2)

Moles 27.2/12 72.8/16

2.27 4.55

Ratio 1 2

Do the same with the other

Which statement about gases is true?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

B) They are made up of particles that travel in a curved path when in motion.

Explanation:

We know that gas, being a state of matter, is made up of particles. John Dalton's solid-sphere model was proven to be incorrect by Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment.

These particles do NOT always move very slowly. There are multiple different factors that affect the speed of the particles such as temperature or concentration.
