What are the abiotic factors a polar bear needs to survive in the tundra?

1 answer:

7 0

abiotic factors that affect polar bears are the cold, snow and water. The extreme cold in the Arctic region that the polar bear inhabits means that it has adapted in several ways. The polar bears have grown long, thick fur and have a thick layer of blubber just under the skin. They also have small ears and tails, which reduces the loss of cold through these areas.

Read the information about the halogen family.

Elodia [21]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Chlorine is a member of the halogen family known as a toxic yellowish green gas. Inhalation of chlorine for a prolonged period of time leads to pulmonary edema. If a person comes in contact with compressed liquid chlorine the person may experience frostbite of the skin and eyes.

However chlorine is very useful in water disinfection and is preferred in water treatment because it provides residual disinfection of the treated water.

Chlorine gas may be dissolved in NaOH to form oxochlorate I which is used as a bleach in cleaning.

Hydrogen iodide is not produced by the same method as for hydrogen chloride.why??

lara [203]

Answer:

Using Phosphoric acid will work perfectly for producing Hydrogen halides because its not an Oxidizing agent. ...

Using an ionic chloride and Phosphoric acid

H3PO4 + NaCl ==> HCl + NaH2PO4

H3PO4 + NaI ==> HI + NaH2PO4

H2SO4 + NaCl ==> HCl + NaHSO4

This method(Using H2So4) will work for all hydrogen hydrogen halide except Hydrogen Iodide and Hydrogen Bromide.

The Sulphuric acid won't be useful for producing Hydrogen Iodide because its an OXIDIZING AGENT. Whist producing the Hydrogen Iodide... Some of the Iodide ions are oxidized to Iodine.

What does a chemist do

Mama L [17]

A chemist (from Greek chēm (ía) alchemy; replacing chemist from Medieval Latin alchimista[1]) is a scientist trained in the study of chemistry. Chemists study the composition of matter and its properties. Chemists carefully describe the properties they study in terms of quantities, with detail on the level of molecules and their component atoms. Chemists carefully measure substance proportions, reaction rates, and other chemical properties. The word 'chemist' is also used to address Pharmacists in Commonwealth English.

A scientist is conducting a Sanger's sequencing experiment to determine the number of polypeptides present in an oligomeric prot

seropon [69]

Answer:

Depends on molecule.

Explanation:

The number of the polypeptide chains present in the oligomer depends on the molecule. Some molecules have more polypeptide chains whereas some of them have less polypeptide chains. For example, Hemoglobin is a oligomer that consists of four Polypeptide Chains, two of these Polypeptide Chains are α-globin molecules, each comprise of 141 amino acids, and the other two are (β, γ, δ, or ε) globins, each consist of 146 amino acids.
