The ear canal, or external ear canal, is a a tubular hole about 30 mm long that runs from the auricle to the eardrum, forming part of the external ear.

Its function is to conduct sound, in the form of vibrations, from the outside to the eardrum. It also has the function of producing a viscous secretion called cerumen, capable of trapping dust particles and small foreign bodies.

Other options are not correct because:

<em>Stirrup is located in the middle ear, along with the anvil and hammer. </em>
<em>Cochlea is in the inner ear and continues with the auditory nerve.</em>

How does the law of conservation of mass relate to the number of atoms of each element that are present before a reaction vs. th

TiliK225 [7]

The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as system's mass cannot change, so quantity cannot be added nor removed. Hence, the quantity of mass is conserved over time.

The law implies that mass can neither be created nor destroyed, although it may be rearranged in space, or the entities associated with it may be changed in form. For example, in chemical reactions, the mass of the chemical components before the reaction is equal to the mass of the components after the reaction. Thus, during any chemical reaction and low-energy thermodynamic processes in an isolated system, the total mass of the reactants, or starting materials, must be equal to the mass of the products.

According to the Law of Conservation, all atoms of the reactant(s) must equal the atoms of the product(s).
As a result, we need to balance chemical equations. We do this by adding in coefficients to the reactants and/or products. The compound(s) itself/themselves DOES NOT CHANGE.
