Which of the following describes a property of water that helps sustain marine life forms?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mariana [72]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Open spaces in water's solid structure makes its solid state less dense than its liquid state.

Explanation:

  • Water unlike other liquids is special. It contracts when cooled, down to a temperature of 4°C but thereafter begins to expand as it reaches 0°C and turns into ice.
  • This property is useful for the preservation of marine life in very cold temperatures. During winter, the surface water in water lakes and rivers starts cooling. Upon reaching the temperature of 4°C, the surface water descends to the bottom as it denser.
  • This help in the maintenance of temperature of the water at the bottom at 4°C. It is in this layer that marine life is sustained.

Durante 50 s un cuerpo viaja a una velocidad de 18.5 m/s, ¿Qué distancia recorrió?
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Distancia = 925 metros.

Explanation:

Dados los siguientes datos;

Tiempo = 50 segundos

Velocidad = 18.5 m/s

Para encontrar la distancia recorrida;

Matemáticamente, la distancia viene dada por la fórmula;

Distancia = velocidad * tiempo

Sustituyendo en la fórmula, tenemos;

Distancia = 18.5 * 50

Distancia = 925 m.

Por tanto, el cuerpo recorrió una distancia de 925 metros.

Many metals react with oxygen gas to form the metal oxide. for example, calcium reacts as follows. 2 ca(s) + o2(g) → 2 cao(s) yo
aniked [119]
<span>(a) Assuming the amount of O2(g) is not limiting the reaction, a mass of 4.23g of Ca(s) will produce an equal mass of CaO(s), hence it will produce 4.23g of CaO(s). According to their respective molar masses, we have the following CaO molar mass : Molar mass of Ca + Molar mass of O = 40.1 + 16 = 56.1 g/mol 4.23g of Ca will then produce : 4.23 / 56.1 = 0,07540107 mol of CaO. (b) With the same reasonment as above, and assuming the amount of Ca is not limiting, we have : 2.87g of O2 will produce : 2.87 / 56.1 = 0,051158645 mol of CaO. (c) From (a) and (b) answers, we can conclude that the reactant that produces less mol of CaO is limiting the reaction. Hence following the given masses, O2 is the limiting reactant. (d) Knowing the molar mass of CaO is 56.1 g/mol and knowing that O2 is the limiting reactant, we also know the reaction can produce a maximum of 0,051158645 mol of CaO can be produced. So we can conclude we will produce : 56.1 * 0,051158645 = 2.87g of CaO.</span>

Which of the answer choices correctly identifies a scenario that displays evidence a chemical reaction is occurring?
tigry1 [53]
Sugar burns and turns black. A completely new substance was formed, which is the main pointer for it being a chemical reaction. More evidence would be change of color, odor, and the fact that flammability is a chemical property so setting something on fire would be a chemical change.
