Because they help regulate the marine environment.
Answer : The specific heat of metal is 
.
Explanation :
In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.
where,
= specific heat of metal = ?
= specific heat of water = 
= mass of metal = 129.00 g
= mass of water = 45.00 g
= final temperature = 
= initial temperature of metal = 
= initial temperature of water = 
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get
Therefore, the specific heat of metal is .
Answer:
The correct answer is: d. The pKa of the chosen buffer should be close to the optimal pH for the biochemical reaction.
Explanation:
The buffer resist or maintain the change in pH in case of Acid or basic addition to the solution. The buffer capacity should be within one or two pH units when compared to the optimal pH.
Thus it is important to select a buffer with pKa close to the optimum pH of the reaction because the ability for the buffer to maintain the pH is is great at the pH close to pKa.
Answer- The particles in a solid gain enough energy to overcome the bonding forces holding them firmly in place. Typically, during melting, the particles start to move about, staying close to their neighbouring particles, then move more freely.
