One way to determine the degree of saturation of a solid-liquid solution is to drop a crystal of the solute into the solution.

The answer is D: Saturated.

A saturated solution is one in which the exact maximum amount of solute has been dissolved.  So, new solute will not dissolve in the solution.  In contrast, an unsaturated solution can hold more solute, so if that option were correct, the crystal would have dissolved.

The other two terms are a bit more complicated.  A supersaturated solution is one holding an amount of solute above the sustainable limit.  Because of that, when more solute is added, the solution will immediately adjust, and some solute will come out of solution in a precipitate.  Because the crystal isn't growing, we can eliminate this option.

A concentrated solution is one holding a relatively large amount of solute.  However, you can have concentrated solutions that are saturated and unconcentrated (the word for this is dilute) solutions that aren't saturated.  Therefore, we can say that because the crystal doesn't dissolve, this solution is saturated, but we can't say with certainty that it is concentrated.

Because the first three options are invalid, as described above, while the scenario does describe a saturated solution, D is the correct answer.

Fire ants move in to a new environment with the lizards.what will most likely happen to the lizard population over the next seve
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Some lizards in the eastern U.S. have adapted to invasive fire ants -- which can bite, sting, and kill lizards -- reversing geographical trends in behavioral and physical traits used to avoid predators. A new study describing this reversal appears online on November 29, 2018, in the journal Global Change Biology and reveals that new environmental challenges can override the historical influences that originally determined geographical trends in traits.

"Rapid environmental change, be it from changing climate or the introduction of invasive species, is putting a lot of pressure on native species," said Christopher Thawley, graduate student at Penn State at the time of the study and first author of the paper. "Usually when researchers look at how native species might respond to these kinds of threats, they might measure one characteristic of the animal and at one or a few sites. In this study, we looked at three separate characteristics of eastern fence lizards from thirteen sites spanning a thousand miles and found that these lizards are capable of adapting in a concerted way to meet the threat of invasive fire ants, and in a relatively short time frame."

How are tectonic plates related to earthquakes and volcanoes?
patriot [66]

Answer

Tectonic plates are parts of the earth's crust. There are cracks in these plates that allow magma to seep through and build-up which creates volcanic eruptions. Volcanos themselves are created by the earth's plates pushing against each other and slowly, over time, rising to create these large raises in the crust. Earthquakes are caused by these plates creating friction against one another until they forcefully overlap or rip apart, hence the shaking effect during an earthquake.

Explain what makes a covalently bonded molecule polar. Use the molecules of CH4 and CH3F as examples in your explanation.
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The magnitude of electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond determines whether that bond will be polar or not.

If the electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond is about 1.7, the bond is ionic. If the electronegativity difference is greater than 0.4 and less than 1.7, the bond will have a polar covalent character. Lastly, if the electronegativity difference between the bond is less than or equal to 0.4, the covalent bond is non polar.

The electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen is about 0.4 which corresponds to a nonpolar covalent bond hence the molecule is nonpolar.

The electronegativity difference between carbon and fluorine is about 1.5 indicating a highly polar bond. This gives CH3F an overall dipole moment thereby making the molecule polar.
