Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Metalloids are the substances that show properties of both metals and non-metals.

When it is considered that silicon is a metalloid then it means it also hows properties of both metals and non-metals. Therefore, like metals silicon is able to conduct electric current.

Whereas sulfur is a non-metal and it is known that non-metals do not conduct electric current.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement silicon is a better conductor of electric current than sulfur is true.

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

c) No, because Celsius is not an absolute temperature scale

Explanation:

converting  5 oC to kelvin which is the absolute temperature scale gives = 273 + 5 = 278 K

and converting 20 oC to kelvin = 20 + 273 = 293 K

the ratio = 278 / 293 = 0.94 approx 1 not 4

Explanation:

Process of elimination

B. It will not affect the children.

Cannot be true, if it didn't impact the children then how would survival of the fittest work?

D. The children will be able to adapt if the environment changes.

That just... not how adapting works when it comes to evolution.

C. The children will be more likely to survive than their parents were

Everyone has the same trait, everyone is equal in that regard.

A. The children will be more likely to survive than if they did not have the trait.

"Suppose a pair of animals has a trait that helps them survive in their environment." The trait helps them survive. Not having the trait makes them less likely to survive. A is correct

How many grams of lead(II) iodide are produced from 6.000 moles of NaI according to the balanced equation: Pb(NO3)2 + 2 NaI à 2
marta [7]

Answer:

mass PbI₂ formed = 1383 grams

Explanation:

Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2NaI => 2NaNO₃ + PbI₂(s)

6 mol NaI =>  1/2(6 mol) PbI₂ = 3 mol PbI₂ x 461.01 g/mol = 1383.03 grams ≅ 1383 grams (4 sig. figs.)
