Answer:

Here's it:

Explanation:

Germs are everywhere! They can get onto hands and items we touch during daily activities and make us sick. Cleaning hands at key times with soap and water or hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol is one of the most important steps you can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to those around you.

There are important differences between washing hands with soap and water and using hand sanitizer. Soap and water work to remove all types of germs from hands, while sanitizer acts by killing certain germs on the skin. Although alcohol-based hand sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of germs in many situations, they should be used in the right situations.

Antarctica, almost completely covered in ice, has an area

Marysya12 [62]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of ice is $2.39\times 10^{22}g$

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Area of Antarctica = $5,500,000mi^2=5,500,000\times 2.59\times 10^{10}=142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2$ (Conversion factor: $1mi^2=2.59\times 10^{10}cm^2$ )

Height of Antarctica with ice = 7500 ft.

Height of Antarctica without ice = 1500 ft.

Height of ice = 7500 - 1500 = 6000 ft = $182.88\times 10^3cm$ (Conversion factor: 1 ft = 30.48 cm)

To calculate mass of ice, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}$

We are given:

Density of ice = $0.917g/cm^3$

Volume of ice = Area × Height of ice = $142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2\times 182.88\times 10^3cm=26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.917g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of ice}}{26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of ice}=(0.917g/cm^3\times 26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3=2.39\times 10^{22}g$

Hence, the mass of ice is $2.39\times 10^{22}g$

How are water-based solutions formed?

drek231 [11]

Answer:

D. Solutions are formed when the water’s polar molecules separate the polar molecules of an ionic or molecular compound.

Explanation:

Solutions are homogeneous mixtures formed by interaction between solutes and solvents.

Water based solutions have water as the solvents and mostly ionic and molecular compounds as their solutes.

Water is a polar solvent that is capable of dissolving many compounds by hydrating them. The molecules of water surrounds the solute and forces them to separate.
