Answer:
Many plants have thorns on their stems or leaves. What is the MOST likely explanation for the evolution of thorns?
A) Thorns help plants produce more food from photosynthesis.
B) Thorns are an example of a mutation that arises in the genetic code of plants.
C) Thorns help plants to conserve resources like water and soil nutrients that may be used by other organisms.
D) Thorns are an adaptation that some plants have evolved in order to discourage herbivores from eating the plant.

Explanation:
Answer:
- Question 19: the three are molecular compounds.
Explanation:
<em>Question 19.</em>
All of them are the combination of two kinds of different atoms in fixed proportions.
- C₂H₄: two carbon atoms per four hydrogen atoms
- HF: one hydrogen atom per one fluorine atom
- H₂O₂: two hydrogen atoms per two oxygent atoms
Thus, they all meet the definition of compund: a pure substance formed by two or more different elements with a definite composition.
Molecular compounds are formed by covalent bonds and ionic compounds are formed by ionic bonds.
Two non-metal elements, like H-F, C - C, C - H, H-O, H - H, and O - O will share electrons forming covalent bonds to complete their valence shell. Thus, the three compounds are molecular and not ionic.
<em>Question 20. </em>Formula of copper(II) sulfate hydrate with 36.0% water.
Copper(II) sulfate is CuSO₄. Its molar mass is 159.609g/mol
Water is H₂O. Its molar mass is 18.015g/mol
Calling x the number of water molecules in the hydrate, the percentage of water is:

From which we can solve for x:

Thus, there are 5 molecules of water per each unit of CuSO₄, and the formula is:
Answer:
Part A: 36 MBq; Part B: 18 MBq
Explanation:
The half-life is the time it takes for half the substance to disappear.
The activity decreases by half every half-life
A =Ao(½)^n, where n is the number of half-lives.
Part A
3.0 da = 1 half-life
A = Ao(½) = ½ × 72 MBq = 36 MBq
Part B
6.0 da = 2 half-lives
A = Ao(½)^2 = ¼ × 72 MBq = 18 MBq
Answer:
32 ° F
Explanation:
Freezing temp for water is 32 degrees at 1 atm
