Answer:

C. It blocked out sunlight

Explanation:

The asteroid impact 65 million years ago was devastating for lot of the animals and plants, resulting in a mass extinction, most noticeably of the dinosaurs. The impact itself killed a lot of flora and fauna, but it was the effect afterward that was crucial. From this impact, there was so much debris propelled into the atmosphere that the sunlight got blocked. Once this happened, most of the plants died out as they were not able to perform photosynthesis. Because the plants were dying out, the herbivores were left without food, so soon they followed, and because the herbivores died out, the predators died out to because they were left without food. The winners turned out to be the small and not specialized plants and animals.

Is the prime meridian a longitudinal or latitudinal line?

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

longitudinal

Explanation:

A prime meridian is the meridian (a line of longitude) in a geographic coordinate system at which longitude is defined to be 0°. Together, a prime meridian and its anti-meridian (the 180th meridian in a 360°-system) form a great circle. This great circle divides a spheroid into two hemispheres.

How much energy is released when 0.40 mol C6H6(g) completely reacts with oxygen?

Vsevolod [243]

<span>This question asksyou to apply Hess's law.
You have to look for how to add up all the reaction so that you get the net equation as the combustion for benzene. The net reaction should look something like C6H6(l)+ O2 (g)-->CO2(g) +H2O(l). So, you need to add up the reaction in a way so that you can cancel H2 and C.
multiply 2 H2(g) + O2 (g) --> 2H2O(l) delta H= -572 kJ by 3
multiply C(s) + O2(g) --> CO2(g) delta H= -394 kJ by 12
multiply 6C(s) + 3 H2(g) --> C6H6(l) delta H= +49 kJ by 2 after reversing the equation.
Then,
6 H2(g) + 3O2 (g) --> 6H2O(l) delta H= -1716 kJ
12C(s) + 12O2(g) --> 12CO2(g) delta H= -4728 kJ
2C6H6(l) --> 12 C(s) + 6 H2(g) delta H= - 98 kJ
______________________________________...
2C6H6(l) + 16O2 (g)-->12CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) delta H= - 6542 kJ
I hope this helps and my answer is right.</span>

Passive prostheses are:

Len [333]

Passive prostheses are self-regulating, as shown in the first answer option.

We can arrive at this answer because:

Passive prostheses are devices used to replace parts of the body that were lost by an incident.
These prostheses are very useful to establish balance or the aesthetics of the body, but they have no articulations and no movement mechanism, being static.
