Answer:

The correct answer is thermophiles.

Explanation:

Thermus aquaticus are heat resistant bacteria because these bacteria can survive under adverse environmental conditions like high temperature.

These bacteria belong to one of the most heat-loving groups of extremophiles that are thermophiles. Thermophiles are present in volcanic soil, geysers and around deep-sea vents where the temperature is extremely high.

Thermus aquaticus bacteria is used to manufacture an enzyme called Taq DNA polymerase, which is heat resistant and also an important factor in molecular biology.

[24 points] A sample of soil has a total volume of 205 cm3. The soil mass when saturated is 361 g. A specific yield test was con

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Follows are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

Dry Soil weight = solid soil weight = $284 \ grams$

solid soil volume = $205 \ cc$

saturated mass soil = $361 \ g$

The weight of the soil after drainage is = $295 \ g$

Water weight for soil saturation = $(361-284) = 77 \ g$

Water volume required for soil saturation = $\frac{77}{1} = 77 \ cc$

Sample volume of water: $= \frac{\text{water density}}{\text{water density input}}$

$= 361- 295 \\\\ = 66 \ cc$

Soil water retained volume = (draining field weight - dry soil weight)

$= 295 - 284 \\\\ = 11 \ cc.$

$\text{POROSITY}= \frac{\text{Vehicle volume}}{\text{total volume Soil}}$

$= \frac{77}{(205 + 77)} \\\\= \frac{77}{(282)} \\\\ = 27.30 \%$

(Its saturated water volume is equal to the volume of voids)

$\text{YIELD SPECIFIC} = \frac{\text{Soil water volume}}{\text{Soil volume total}}$

$= \frac{66}{(205+77)}\\\\= \frac{66}{(282)}\\\\=0.2340\\\\ = 0.23$

$\text{Specific Retention}= \frac{\text{Volume of soil water}}{\text{Total soil volume}}$

$= \frac{11}{282} \\\\= 0.0390 \\\\ = 0.04$

PLS HELP!I will give brainliest! When producing hydrogen iodide, the energy of the reactants is 581 kJ/mol, and the energy of th

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Here, we are required to determine the total energy of the reaction and determine if the reaction is an endothermic or exothermic reaction.

The correct answer is option C.

First, we need to determine the energy of the reaction.

The energy of the reaction is the change in enthalpy between the product and reactants.

Change of Enthalpy,

Hreaction = Hproduct - Hreactant.

Therefore, for the reaction above, the change in enthalpy is:

Hreaction = 590kJ/mol - 581kJ/mol.

Hreaction = 9kJ/mol.

Hence, since the reaction has an enthalpy change of 9kJ/mol, the reaction is endothermic (i.e energy is absorbed).

How many lead (Pb) atoms are in a 5.32 g sample of pure lead?

Elanso [62]

Answer:

1.55×10²² molecules.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 5.32 g of pure lead (Pb). This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of Pb = 5.32 g

Molar mass of Pb = 207 g/mol

Mole of Pb =?

Mole = mass /molar mass

Mole of Pb = 5.32/207

Mole of Pb = 0.0257 mole

Finally, we shall determine the number of molecules in 0.0257 mole of Pb. This can be obtained as follow:

From Avogadro's hypothesis,

I mole of Pb contains 6.02×10²³ molecules.

Therefore, 0.0257 mole will contain = 0.0257 × 6.02×10²³ = 1.55×10²² molecules.

Therefore, 5.32 g of pure lead (Pb) contains 1.55×10²² molecules.
