Answer: The property of magnesium that is exhibited by it is DUCTILITY. The correct option is A.

Explanation:

Magnesium is a member of the alkaline earth metals. It occurs in nature, only in the combined state, as Epsom salt, dolomite and in many trioxosilicates( IV) including talc and asbestos. They have the following physical properties:

--> Appearance: they are silvery-white solids

--> Relative density: It has a relative density of 1.74

--> DUCTILITY: it's very ductile in nature

--> melting point: it has a melting point of 660°C.

--> Conductivity: They are good conductor of heat and electricity.

Furthermore, DUCTILITY is the physical property of a metal associated with the ability to be hammered thin or stretched into wire without breaking. A metal such as magnesium can therefore be coiled as a thin ribbon without fracturing due to its ductile physical properties.

Vlad [161]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

Which statements are consistent with Dalton's atomic theory as it was originally stated? Why?

a. Sulfur and oxygen atoms have the same mass.

b. All cobalt atoms are identical.

c. Potassium and chlorine atoms combine in a 1:1 ratio to form potassium chloride.

d. Lead atoms can be converted into gold.

<u>Answer: </u>The correct options are b) and c).

<u>Explanation:</u>

Some of the postulates of Dalton's atomic theory are:

  • All matter is made of very tiny particles called atoms that participate in chemical reactions
  • Atoms are indivisible particles that cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction
  • Atoms of a given element are identical in mass and chemical properties
  • Atoms of different elements have different masses and chemical properties.
  • Atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers to form compounds.
  • The relative number and kinds of atoms are constant in a given compound.

For the given options:

<u>For a:</u>

The statement is inconsistent with the theory as no two elements can have the same mass. Only atoms of the same element can have the same mass.

  • <u>For b:</u>

This is consistent with the theory as atoms of the same element are identical.

  • <u>For c: </u>

This is consistent with the theory as atoms combine in a simple whole number ratio.

  • <u>For d:</u>

The statement is inconsistent with the theory as atoms of one element cannot be changed to atoms of other element.

Hence, the correct options are b) and c).

What fuel source is Jan using if she exercises at 85% of her maximum aerobic capacity?
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Carbohydrates

Explanation:

Increased exercise intensity means the overall need for energy increases. As we increase exercise intensity we increase our glucose uptake and oxidation which far exceeds uptake, indicating that muscle stores of glycogen are being used. At moderate intensities (65%) there is an increased need for muscle glycogen and muscle triglycerides which is fat. At higher levels of intensities (85%) there is an even greater need for energy, and this is met almost solely by an increased uptake of glucose from the blood and from muscle glycogen.

In the case of fats as an energy fuel source at high intensities, increasing levels of intensity increases fat oxidation but once we get into higher levels of intensity, we return to levels of fat oxidation similar to very low intensities.
