What are barrier islands? What protects the barrier islands?

Biology

dem82 [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Barrier islands form in three ways. They can form from spits, from drowned dune ridges or from sand bars. Longshore drift is the movement of sand parallel to the shore caused by the angle of the waves breaking on the beach. When a storm such as a hurricane digs an inlet through the spit a barrier island is formed. Barrier islands are a specific type of island that lie parallel to the coastline of a larger mainland. They are separated from shore by a bay, lagoon or sound and because of where they are situated, they protect the coast from being directly impacted by storm waves or winds.

Which of the following samples will have the greatest volume at STP?a. 22 g Neb. 22 g Hec. 22 g O2d. 22 g Cl2 e. All have the sa
sammy [17]

Answer:

22g of He

Explanation:

Volume of gas at STP is given as :

Volume occupied(dm³) = number of moles x 22.4dm³mol⁻¹

In order to solve this given problem, we would first find the number of moles from the different masses of atoms and molecules given.

Number of moles = \frac{mass }{Molar mass}

Now, let us obtain the molar mass of the given atoms and elements:

For Ne; molar mass is the atomic mass = 20gmol⁻¹

      He = 4gmol⁻¹

      O₂ = (16 x2)gmol⁻¹  = 32gmol⁻¹

      Cl₂ = (35.5x2)gmol⁻¹ = 71gmol⁻¹

Number of moles of Ne = \frac{22}{20} = 1.1mol

Volume occupied by Ne at STP = 1.1 x 22.4 = 24.64dm³

       

Number of moles of He = \frac{22}{4} = 5.5mol

Volume occupied by He at STP = 5.5 x 22.4 = 123.2dm³

Number of moles of O₂ = \frac{22}{32}  = 0.688mol

Volume occupied by O₂ at STP = 0.688 x 22.4 = 15.4mol

Number of moles of Cl₂ = \frac{22}{71} = 0.3099mol

Volume occupied by Cl₂ at STP = 0.3099 x 22.4 = 6.94dm³

BRAINLIEST!!!!!
Tresset [83]

Answer: II and IV

Explanation: Flammability and the ability to rust are chemical properties because they change an object. I, III, and V are physical properties because it doesn't change the object's composition. This includes weight, the change in matter (solid to liquid), or change in volume.

Hope this helps!!!

Many chemicals are used to kill insects and protect animals. How could the removal of insects upset the balance of the ecosystem
STatiana [176]
The removal of insects would mess up the food chain. Many animals rely on insects as a source of food and energy. Eventually everything would die off.
