You have a large bottle of 2% saline solution in the lab (2% NaCl, which is sodium chloride). You need 5 ml of 0.1% saline for a

n experiment. Do the calculation for the dilution you would need to make (i.e., calculate the volume of 2% saline and the volume of water you would need to combine).

Answer:

volume of 2% saline (V₁) = 0.25ml

volume of water = 4.75ml

Explanation:

The requirement in the question is to obtain 0.1% of NaCl from 2% NaCl, and the process is dilution. The general dilution equation is guven by:

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

where:

C₁ = initial concentration = 2%

V₁ = initial volume = ?

C₂ = final concentration = 0.1%

V₂ = final volume = 5ml

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

calculating for V₁

∴ V₁ = (C₂V₂) ÷ C₁

= (0.1% × 5) ÷ 2%

V₁ = 0.25ml

Now, let us calculate the volume of water needed:

V₁ + Volume of water = V₂ (volume of 0.1% NaCl)

0.25 + volume of water = 5

volume of water = 5 - 0.25

volume of water = 4.75ml

Over time, what happens to a trait that is an advantage to an organism?
Charra [1.4K]
I remember back in 10th grade I learned that birds that had beaks that were easier to break the seeds carried those traits to their babies and the whole area had that type of beak since it was necessary to break some seeds. So the beaks that were a disadvantage no longer existed and the beaks that became an advantage passed along to all the other birds.

Side note: if they all had the same beak they could all fight for the same type of seeds and probably have some sort of intense competition but idk if that’s necessary

Typical rates of sea-floor spreading are appoximately
shutvik [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Typical rates of sea-floor spreading are approximately </u><u>5 cm per year</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Sea-floor spreading is a process that happens at the mid-oceanic ridge where a divergent boundary is causing two plates moving away from one another resulting in spreading of the sea floor. To calculate the spreading rate of one side of a mid-ocean ridge by dividing distance by time (Distance/Time = Rate) The typical rates of sea -floor spreading are approximately is 5 centimeter per year.
