Answer:

Marine life is least affected by the temperature fluctuations of the atmosphere.

Explanation:

The high specific heat capacity of water means that it takes much more energy to raise the temperatures of water by one (1) degree than land. This means that on a hot sunny day, land temperatures would increase dramatically while ocean temperatures would only rise slightly. Conversely, at night, the land cools rapidly while oceans cool slowly hence the temperatures drop slightly.

garri49 [273]

Answer:

A salt

Explanation:

When an acid and a base are placed together, they react to neutralize the acid and base properties, producing a salt. The H(+) cation of the acid combines with the OH(-) anion of the base to form water. The compound formed by the cation of the base and the anion of the acid is called a salt

Answer:

What is the empirical formula of the compound?

Explanation:

When the relative masses of elements in a hydrocarbon are given, it is possible to use this information to obtain the empirical formula by dividing the given masses of each element by the relative atomic masses of the element. The lowest ratio is now used to divide through to obtain the empirical formula of the compound.

The empirical formula only shows that ratio of atoms of each element present in the compound. From the information provided, the empirical formula of the compound is CH2. Hence the answer.
