Answer:

Explanation:

Overuse of antibiotics leads to bacteria's resistance against our drugs. This is increasing at an alarming rate and the reason is that overuse of antibiotics kills bacteria that lack the "resistance" gene or gene that can help them survive the antibiotics (similar is the case for insects that die to insecticides). But, some bacteria can have random mutations in their gene that can help them survive the antibiotic (similar is the case for some insects that can survive the insecticide), thus the surviving bacteria give rise to next generation of bacteria that are resistant to the given antibiotic (similar to how insects that survive the insecticide give birth to new insects that are resistant to insecticide too). Soon, every generation adds new antibiotic resistant bacteria (or new insecticide resistant insects in the case of insects) which is dangerous for all of life on this planet. Therefore, both are similar in the sense that new generations of these organisms will be resistant to our weapons against them.

22. How many atoms are there in 344.75 g of gold nugget? a. 1.05 x 10 to the power of 24 atoms b. 1.05 x 10 to the power of 23 a
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

1.053×10²⁴ atoms of gold

Explanation:

Hello,

Gold nugget are usually the natural occurring gold and they contain 85% - 90% weight of pure gold.

In this question, we're required to find the number of atoms in 344.75g of a gold nugget.

We can use mole concept relationship between Avogadro's number and molar mass.

1 mole = molar mass

Molar mass of gold = 197 g/mol

1 mole = Avogadro's number = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

Number of mole = mass / molar mass

Mass = number of mole × molar mass

Mass = 1 × 197

Mass = 197g

197g is present in 6.022×10²³ atoms

344.75g will contain x atoms

x = (344.75 × 6.022×10²³) / 197

X = 1.053×10²⁴ atoms

Therefore 344.75g of gold nugget will contain 1.053×10²⁴ atoms of gold

There are two varieties in a population of squirrels: short tails and long tails. Long-tailed squirrels are better at jumping an
Ymorist [56]

The proportion of long-tailed squirrels may have increased due to increased food availability.


The statement has it that the percentage of long tailed increased also that the long tailed are better at jumping and balancing on trees.

The first option could is tempting but saying decrease in trees would not likely support the argument.

The last option has more sound options as more food availability may lead to population increment


Hope it helps....
