Desert plants work hard to make use of what's available. They use the sun's energy to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) into sugar, a process called photosynthesis. During this process, stomata on a plant's leaves and stems open to absorb carbon dioxide from the air and in return release oxygen. :)
3. Other names for S- waves are secondary waves, shear waves, and sometimes elastic S-waves. Other names for P-waves are primary waves and compressional waves.
4. You need 3 stations, because scientists find the difference between the arrival times of the primary and the secondary waves at each of the 3 stations, then the time difference is used to determine the distance of the epicentre from each station. The greater the difference in time, the further away the epicentre is. A circle is drawn around each station, with a radius corresponding to the epicentre’s distance from that station. The point where the three circles meet is the epicentre. If you only had two stations, you could only predict the epicentre, as the point where all three circles meet wouldn’t be complete, you’d have to try and estimate where the third one would intercept. This would greaten the chance of error and isn’t as accurate.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Molecules change speed based on temperature and state of matter. The warmer they are, the faster they move and vice versa. Solids are at a lower temperature than gases and liquids, which means the molecules are moving slower, and hold together better, also explaining why solids aren't malleable.
Answer:
487.33 K.
Explanation:
- To calculate the no. of moles of a gas, we can use the general law of ideal gas: <em>PV = nRT.</em>
where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.
V is the volume of the gas in L.
n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.
R is the general gas constant.
T is the temperature of the gas in K.
- If n is constant, and have two different values of (P, V and T):
<em>P₁V₁T₂ = P₂V₂T₁</em>
<em></em>
P₁ = 5.4 atm, V₁ = 1.0 L, T₁ = 33°C + 273 = 306 K.
P₂ = 4.3 atm, V₂ = 2.0 L, T₂ =??? K.
<em>∴ T₂ = P₂V₂T₁/P₁V₁</em> = (4.3 atm)(2.0 L)(306 K)/(5.4 atm)(1.0 L) = <em>487.33 K.</em>
Answer:
Monatomic molecule
Explanation:
Each helium atom has 2 electrons, which is already the maximum no. of electrons that can fit in the first electron shell. When the outermost electron shell is full (2 for the first layer, 8 for others), the atom is stable.
Helium atom itself is already stable, so it doesn't need to combine with another helium atom to form a molecule, hence we call it monatomic.
