Answer:

The correct option is: a. Tardigrades can survive both extreme heat and extreme cold.

Explanation:

Tardigrade, also called the moss piglet or water bear, is a phylum of the most resilient micro-animals that can survive in extreme environmental conditions like dehydration, extreme pressure and temperature, radiation, and also outer space.

<u>These micro-organisms can survive at an extremely low temperature of 1 K and extremely high temperature of about 420 K.</u>

The generalized rate expression may be written as:
r = k[A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ

We may determine the order with respect to B by observing the change in rate when the concentration of B is changed. This can be done by comparing the first two runs of the experiment, where the concentration of A is constant but the concentration of B is doubled. Upon doubling the concentration of B, we see that the rate also doubles. Therefore, the order with respect to concentration of B is 1.
The same can be done to determine the concentration with respect to A. The rate increases 4 times between the second and third trial in which the concentration of B is constant, but that of A is doubled. We find that the order with respect to is 2. The rate expression is:

r = k[A]²[B]

Which of the following would be considered a compound?<br> He<br> CI<br> NaCl<br> B

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

NaCl

Explanation:

because He which is helium gas its an element alone,

Cl which is chlorine is a single element,

B which is Boron and its a single element,

but NaCl which is simply called table sugar is the combination between Na, sodium and Cl, chlorine , so its called a compound not an element.

Ultraviolet radiation and radiation of shorter wavelengths can damage biological molecules because they carry enough energy to b

DIA [1.3K]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Longest wavelength = 343.7 nm

<h3>Solution and Explanation:</h3>

In this question we need to first use the concept of energy of a photon.

Energy of a photon, E, is given by the formula, E = hf, where h is the plank's constant, f is the frequency.

But since, f is given by dividing speed, c, by wavelength, λ, then;

E = hc/λ

We are given 348 kJ/mol required to break carbon-carbon bonds.

We know that; 1 mole of bonds = 6.022 × 10^23 bonds.

We are required to find the longest wavelength with enough energy to break the C-C bonds.

This can be worked out in simple steps:

Step 1: Energy required to break one bond (kJ/bond)

1 mole of bonds = 6.022 × 10^23 bonds.

Therefore;

348 kJ = 6.022 × 10^23 bonds.

Thus;

1 bond = 348 kJ ÷ 6.022 × 10^23 bonds.

= 5.778 x 10^-22 kJ

But; 1000 joules = 1 kJ

Hence; energy per bond = 5.778 x 10^-19 Joules

Step 2: Energy per photon

Breaking one bond requires energy equivalent to energy of a photon.

Therefore;

1 photon = 5.778 x 10^-19 Joules

= 5.778 x 10^-19 J/photon

Step 3: Calculating the wavelength

From the equation of energy of a photon;

E = hc/λ

h is the plank's constant = 6.626 × 10^-34 J/s

c is the speed of light in vacuum = 2.9998 × 10^8 m/s

E is the energy of a photon = 5.778 x 10^-19 Joules

Therefore, making λ (wavelength) the subject;

$wavelength = \frac{hc}{E}$

$= \frac{(6.626 . 10^{-34})(92.9998.10^8) }{(5.778 .10^{-19} )}$

$= 3.437. 10^{-7} m$

= 3.437 x 10^-7 m

But; 1 nm = 10^-9 m

Thus;

wavelength = 343.7 nm

Therefore, the longest wavelength of the radiation will be 343.7 nm
