Can someone put in your own words what sensory adaptation is?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Crank3 years ago

Answer: Sensory adaptation refers to a reduction in sensitivity to a stimulus after constant exposure to it. While sensory adaptation reduces our awareness of a constant stimulus, it helps free up our attention and resources to attend to other stimuli in the environment around us.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

sensory adaptation: People do not experience perceptions of external stimuli such as noise, touch, smell and other senses. They become used to the sensory stimulus because of continuous exposure

If 5.0 kJ of energy is added to a 15.5-g sample of water at 10.°C, the water is Group of answer choices
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The water is completely vaporized at this stage.

Explanation:

The complete question is

If 5.0 kJ of energy is added to a 15.5-g sample of water at 10.°C, the water is

-boiling

-completely vaporized

-frozen solid

-decomposed

-still a liquid

Energy added = 50 kJ = 50000 J

mass of water = 15.5 g = 0.0155 kg

temperature of water = 10 °C

We know that the energy posses by a mass of water at a given temperature is given as

H = mcT

where H is the energy possessed by the mass of water

m is the mass of the water

c is the specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/ kg- °C

T is the temperature of the water

substituting values, the energy of this amount of water is

H = 0.0155 x 4200 x 10 = 651 J

If 50 kJ is added to the water, the energy increases to

50000 J + 651 J = 50651 J

Temperature of this water at this stage will be gotten from

H = mcT

we solve for the new temperature

50651 = 0.0155 x 4200 x T

50651 = 65.1 x T

T = 50651/65.1 = 778.05 °C

This temperature is well over 100 °C, which is the vaporization temperature of water, but less than 3000 °C for its molecules to decompose.

Which aqueous solution has the highest boiling point?a. 0.20 M NaClb. 0.10 M CaCl2c. 0.1 M Ga2(SO4)3d. 0.2 M C6H12O6
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

c. 0.1 M Ga₂(SO₄)₃

Explanation:

The boiling point increasing of a solvent due the addition of a solute follows the formula:

ΔT = K*m*i

<em>Where K is boiling point increasing constant (Depends of the solute), m is molality = molarity when solvent is water, and i is Van't Hoff factor.</em>

<em />

That means the option with the higher m*i will be the solution with the highest boiling point:

a. NaCl has i = 2 (NaCl dissociates in Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions).

m* i = 0.20*2 = 0.4

b. CaCl₂; i = 3. 3 ions.

m*i= 0.10M * 3 = 0.3

c. Ga₂(SO₄)₃ dissolves in 5 ions. i = 5

m*i = 0.10M*55 = 0.5

d. C₆H₁₂O₆ has i = 1:

m*i = 0.2M*1 = 0.2

The solution with highest boiling point is:

<h3>c. 0.1 M Ga₂(SO₄)₃</h3>

Answer:

The carrying capacity of this population would be 125 we know this because we see that this number occur multiple times and seems to be the tipping point after which the number of the population always go down
