Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the article found on the Scientific American website.

Explanation:

<em>Remember,</em> according to that article we are told that scientists notice that these insects have a long nymphal (immature form before becoming adults) stage, one that can last up to 13 to 17 years on the ground before they leave the ground looking for mating partners.

Because it is only after mating occurs at this point that their eggs are laid, that is why scientists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years.

Most of the costs associated with using renewable resources are due to
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

a. overuse of resources is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Renewable resources are available and they are abundant but overuse of these renewable resources will have a negative effect on the surroundings and humans.

Overuse of renewable resources will leads to the depletion of these renewable sources in the future and will also make the ecosystem unbalance.

Renewable resources are solar energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy, wind energy, hydro energy.

Thus renewable resources are threatened due to overuse and it must be carefully used.

Calculate the amount of heat required to completely sublime 55.0 g of solid dry ice CO2 at its sublimation temperature. The heat
aliina [53]

Answer:

40.4 kJ

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Mass of CO₂ (m): 55.0 g
  • Heat of sublimation of CO₂ (ΔH°sub): 32.3 kJ/mol

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 55.0 g of CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.

n = 55.0 g × 1 mol/44.01 g = 1.25 mol

Step 3: Calculate the heat (Q) required to sublimate 1.25 moles of CO₂

We will use the following expression.

Q = n × ΔH°sub

Q = 1.25 mol × 32.3 kJ/mol = 40.4 kJ

What is the preasure in atmospheres of 20 mol of nitrogen gas in 36.2 L cylinder at 25 degrees C?
Savatey [412]

Answer:

P = 13.5 atm

Explanation:

Given that

No. of moles, n = 20 moles

Volume of nitrogen gas = 36.2 L

Temperature = 25°C = 298 K

We need to find the pressure of the gas. Using the ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

Where

R is gas constant, R=0.082057\ L-atm/K-mol

So,

P=\dfrac{nRT}{V}\\\\P=\dfrac{20\times 0.082057\times 298}{36.2 }\\\\P=13.5\ atm

so, the pressure of the gas is equal to 13.5 atm.
