The burning of fossil fuels like coal, natural gas etc... leads to the emmission of carbondioxide which is a green house gas and leads to the increase of heat in the atmosphere. This results in greenhouse effect.
Answer:
Many plants have thorns on their stems or leaves. What is the MOST likely explanation for the evolution of thorns?
A) Thorns help plants produce more food from photosynthesis.
B) Thorns are an example of a mutation that arises in the genetic code of plants.
C) Thorns help plants to conserve resources like water and soil nutrients that may be used by other organisms.
D) Thorns are an adaptation that some plants have evolved in order to discourage herbivores from eating the plant.
2)
Explanation:
Answer:
has 4 electrons in its valence shell.
Explanation:
Silicon has 14 protons, so its neutral atom has also 14 electrons, thus, the electron distribution following the Linus Pauling's diagram is:
1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p²
Thus, it has 4 electrons in its valence shell (3), likely carbon. So, silicon would have some of the properties of carbon, such as form 4 bonds, and the structure would be similar.
Answer:
1.58×10E18
Explanation:
Since we have the reduction potentials we could make decisions regarding which one will be the anode or cathode. Evidently, bromine having the more positive reduction potential will be the cathode while the iodine will be the anode.
E°cell= 1.07- 0.53= 0.54 V
E°cell= 0.0592/n logK
0.54 = 0.0592/2 logK
logK= 0.54/0.0296
logK= 18.2
K= Antilog (18.2)
K= 1.58×10^18
