Answer:

Nocturnal animals, such as owls, tend to have wide pupils and several rod cells in their retina because wide pupil allow more light to enter the eyes and the rods cells in the retina are sensitive to dim light and are vital for night vision.

Part B When carbon is burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When 22.8 g of carbon were burned in the pres

aksik [14]

Answer: The amount of carbon dioxide gas produced in the reaction is 83.6 grams

Explanation:

As, some amount of oxygen gas is left after the reaction is completed. So, it is present in excess and is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, carbon is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of carbon = 22.8 g

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of carbon}=\frac{22.8g}{12g/mol}=1.9mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of carbon and oxygen gas follows:

$C+O_2\rightarrow CO_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of carbon produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas

So, 1.9 moles of carbon will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 1.9=1.9moles$ of carbon dioxide gas

Now, calculating the mass of carbon dioxide from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Moles of carbon dioxide = 1.9 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.9mol=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}}{44g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}=(1.9mol\times 44g/mol)=83.6g$

Hence, the amount of carbon dioxide gas produced in the reaction is 83.6 grams

Two solid blocks are HEATED to the temperatures show. The blocks are placed so they touch. Which diagram shows the DIRECTION HEA

Setler [38]

Answer:

Heat flows from the block at high temperature to the one with lower temperature

Explanation:

The direction of heat flow is from a body at higher temperature to one with a lower temperature.

Temperature gradient determines the way and manner in which heat is dissipated.
As a system tend to increase entropy, it ensures that heat moves from hotter body to a colder body.
Heat movement here is by conduction as the body touches.
When both bodies reaches the same temperature, thermal equilibrium is established.

At which type of tectonic plate boundary is a volcano least likely to occur?

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

A divergent boundary is when the plates move apart from each other. When the plates part, magma from under either plate rises and forms a volcano. A hotspot is the third place a volcano can form. This particular type is the least common.
