Crabs are organisms that have five pairs of legs. In certain species of crabs, the fifth pair of legs has a flattened, paddle-li

ke shape. Which of the statements below best explains how this adaptation has evolved?
A.Crabs were exposed to a toxin in the water.


B.Crabs with this adaptation have an advantage over other crabs to defend against predators in oyster beds.


C.Crabs needed this adaptation to dig into sand to find food so they developed the flattened paddle-like shape.


D.Crabs developed this adaptation because they needed to climb mangrove trees to hide themselves from predators.

A 125g metal block at a temperature of 93.2 degrees Celsius was immersed in 100g of water at 18.3 degrees Celsius. Given the spe
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

\large \boxed{34.2\, ^{\circ}\text{C}}

Explanation:

There are two heat transfers involved: the heat lost by the metal block and the heat gained by the water.

According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy can neither be destroyed nor created, so the sum of these terms must be zero.

Let the metal be Component 1 and the water be Component 2.

Data:  

For the metal:

m_{1} =\text{125 g; }T_{i} = 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C; }\\C_{1} = 0.900 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}

For the water:

m_{2} =\text{100 g; }T_{i} = 18.3 ^{\circ}\text{C; }\\C_{2} = 4.184 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Heat lost by metal + heat gained by water} & = & 0\\q_{1} + q_{2} & = & 0\\m_{1}C_{1}\Delta T_{1} + m_{2}C_{2}\Delta T_{2} & = & 0\\\text{125 g}\times 0.900 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$} \times\Delta T_{1} + \text{100 g} \times 4.184 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}\Delta \times T_{2} & = & 0\\112.5\Delta T_{1} + 418.4\Delta T_{2} & = & 0\\112.5\Delta T_{1} & = & -418.4\Delta T_{2}\\\Delta T_{1} & = & -3.719\Delta T_{2}\\\end{array}

\Delta T_{1} = T_{\text{f}} - 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C}\\\Delta T_{2} = T_{\text{f}} - 18.3 ^{\circ}\text{C}

\begin{array}{rcl}\Delta T_{1} & = & -3.719\Delta T_{2}\\T_{\text{f}} - 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & -3.719 (T_{\text{f}} - 18.3 ^{\circ}\text{C})\\T_{\text{f}} - 93.2 ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & -3.719T_{\text{f}} + 68.06 ^{\circ}\text{C}\\4.719T_{\text{f}} & = & 161.3 ^{\circ}\text{C}\\T_{\text{f}} & = & \mathbf{34.2 ^{\circ}}\textbf{C}\\\end{array}\\\text{The final temperature of the block and the water is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{34.2\, ^{\circ}}\textbf{C}}$}

liam uses a machine that counts waves on a metal cable. The machine counts 25 waves in 2 seconds. what is the frequency of the w
Softa [21]
Frequency is defined as the number of waves per second. In this machine 25 waves pass in one second.
We need to calculate the number of waves that pass a particular point during one second.
During 2 seconds -25 waves
Therefore in one second - 25/2 = 12.5 waves/s.
1 wave per second has the unit Hertz (Hz)
Therefore answer is 12.5 Hz

what mass of carbon dioxide gas would be produced if 10g of calcium carbonate reacted with an excess of hydrochloric acid?
LuckyWell [14K]
Answer is: 4,4 grams <span>of carbon dioxide gas would be produced.
</span>Chemical reaction: CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O.
m(CaCO₃) = 10 g.
n(CaCO₃) = 10 g ÷ 100 g/mol.
n(CaCO₃) = 0,1 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(CaCO₃) : n(CO₂) = 1 : 1.
n(CO₂) = 0,1 mol.
m(CO₂) = n(CO₂) · M(CO₂).
m(CO₂) = 0,1 mol· 44 g/mol.
m(CO₂) = 4,4 g.

What is the volume of 68.0 g of ether if the density of ether is 0.72 g/mL?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

94.44

Explanation:

Volume is equal to Mass/Density so therefore, you do the mass which is 68.0 g/0.72 g/mL which is the density and get 94.44 mL because the g cancel each other out when it comes to the label!
