Answer:
- <em><u>Measurement of the amount of variation of the species in a given area. </u></em>
Explanation:
<em>Bio</em> preffix means life. Thus, literally, biodiversity means how diverse is the life. This is, how many different organisms an ecosystem or biome has.
Thus, biodiverstiy, although more complex than just that, is a measure of the number of species that live in a region.
The biome with most species than any other, this is the biome with the greatest biodiversity, is the tropical rainforest biome, which are located near the equator. As you can imagine, a large number of different plants, animals, and microorganisms live in these forests, making them the regions with greatest biodiversity on the planet.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
There are principally three states of matter. These are the solid, liquid and gaseous states. The gaseous state has the highest degree of disorderliness as gas particles can move randomly while the solid state has the highest level of compactness.
Hence, we need to be adequately fed with information as regards the phase change to know if entropy has decreased or increased.
A. is wrong
Evaporation is a change of state to the gaseous state meaning there is an increased entropy.
B. is wrong
Sublimation is a change of state which means a solid substance like iodine or naphthalene changes its state directly to the gaseous state. There is an increased entropy here too.
C is wrong
Melting of ice means going from ice block to liquid water. This is synonymous to going from the solid state to the liquid state which is an increased entropy
D is correct
Condensation involves going from the gaseous state to the liquid state. This means going from a less ordered state to a more ordered state. This is accompanied by an entropy decrease.
E is wrong
While there are some processes that increase entropy, we also have some process that decrease entropy.
Answer:
2. All the naturally occurring isotopes of Mg.
Explanation:
You want to know the atomic mass of the magnesium you use in the lab. That’s “natural” magnesium. So, you must use the weighted average of all the naturally occurring isotopes in natural Mg.
1. and 3. are <em>wrong</em>. You won’t get the correct mass for natural Mg if you use only the artificial isotopes for your calculation.
4. is <em>wrong</em>. You must use all the naturally occurring isotopes. The two most abundant isotopes of Mg account for only 90 % of the atoms. If you ignore the other 10 %, your calculation will be wrong.
Answer:
This is most likely a multi-stepped reaction.
Explanation:
From the collision theory, we know that it is super improbable for 3 different molecules (2 NO and 1 O2) to all hit each other at the perfect speed in the perfect position to make the products. From this, we can pretty confidently say that this is most likely a multi-stepped reaction.
Hope this helps! :)
