8 0

Answer:

The most abundant gas in the atmosphere is nitrogen, with oxygen second, and argon as third.

Explanation:

The atmosphere contains many gases, most in small amounts, including some pollutants and greenhouse gases. The gases whose percentages do not change from day to day are nitrogen, oxygen and argon. Nitrogen accounts for 78% of the atmosphere, oxygen 21% and argon 0.9%.  Usually, the 4 most abundant gases are:

Nitrogen (N2) - 78.084%

Oxygen (O2) - 20.9476%

Argon (Ar) - 0.934%

Carbon dioxide (CO2) 0.0314%

The difference between theory and law
Blababa [14]

In science, a theory is a hypothesis, and a law is a statement of a observed phenomenon proven to be true.

  • A theory explains why a natural phenomenon occurs.
  • Scientific laws summarize a set of observations about a natural phenomenon that was witnessed.
  • Both can be revised, used to make predictions, and are based off of a hypothesis.

Eutrophication can cause excess algae growth. Which of the following describes how nutrients contribute to eutrophication?
dusya [7]

Eutrophication of water bodies like lake, pond, shallow stretches of river, etc. is the phenomenon where excess growth of vegetation on the surface of the water takes place. This excess growth results in the clouding of the water, depletion of dissolved oxygen in water, and the death of aquatic organisms. The primary reason for the cause of eutrophication is the presence of nutrients in excess amounts in the water. The nutrients B. come from fertilizer and sewage runoff.

Allen pours water into a graduated cylinder. He notices that the surface of the water is curved, as shown below.
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

When water is added to a graduated cylinder, having a surface where the sides of the water look higher than the center means that the curved surface is a concave meniscus which has formed because of surface tension (Choice C).

Explanation:

A meniscus is simply the curvature that the surface of a liquid acquires when it is in a container, such as a graduated cylinder. It is concave when there is attraction between molecules -water and glass- or it can be convex when both surfaces are repelled.

<u>Water is a polar molecule</u>, with the capacity to adhere to the surfaces it comes into contact with. This characteristic causes it to form a concave meniscus, as the outermost molecules adhere to the glass surface, while the surface tension of the water attracts the molecules from the centre downwards, causing the concavity.
