How does natural selection produce adaptations in a species?

1 answer:

7 0

Well the organism that is producing an offspring is already very adapted to it's surroundings. So, the organism has developed characteristics that help it survive in it's environment. These traits are passed down to the offspring. Creating adaptations to this particular species.

explain using diagrams how potassium forms the compound potassium flouride when it reacts with flourine

Katarina [22]

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below.

Explanation:

Potassium (K) has 19 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8, 1.

Fluorine (F) has 9 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 7.

Fluorine needs 1 electron to complete it's octet configuration.

Hence, potassium (K), will lose 1 electron to fluorine (F) to form potassium ion (K+) with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8. The fluorine atom (F) will receive the 1 electron from potassium to form the fluoride ion (F-) with electronic configuration of 2, 8.

What mass in grams would 5.7L of hydrogen gas occupy at STP?

tekilochka [14]

Answer: The correct answer is: " 0.54 g " .

__________________________________________

Explanation:

Note that "hydrogen gas" is:

H₂ (g) ; that is: a "diatomic element" (diatomic gas) ;

_________________________________________

The molecular weight of "H" is: 1.00794 g ;

(From the Periodic Table of Elements).

So, the molecular weight of: H₂ (g) is:

" 1.00794 g * 2 = 2.01588 g ; {use calculator) ;

_________________________________________

Note the conversion for a gas at STP:

______

1 mol of a gas = 22.4 L gas;

___

i.e. " 1 mol / 22.4 L " ;

____

So: " 5.7 L H₂ (g) $* \frac{1 mol H_{2} }{22.4 L} *\frac{2.01588 g}{mol} =? ;$

The "L" ("literes" cancel out to "1" ; since "L/L = 1 ;

The "mol" (moles) cancel out to "1" ; since "mol/mol = 1 ;

____

and we are left with:

____

[5.7 * 2.104588 g ] / 22.4 = ? g ;

______________________

→ [ 11.9961516 g ] / 22.4 =

0.53554248214 g ;l

_____________________________

We round this value to: " 0.54 g " ;

→ since "5.7 L " has 2 (two) significant figures;

22.4 is an exact number conversion;

and "5.7 L" has fewer significant figures than:

" 2.104588 " ; or: " 1.00794 " .

→ as such: We round to "2 (two) significant figures."

______________________________

Hope this is helpful. Wishing you the best in your academic endeavors!
