Answer:

In the first generation, the beetles changed to have light spots. The beetles with the light spotted trait had a better chance of survival causing the species evolved to have lighter spots.

Answer:

In the first generation, the beetles with the dark spotted trait had a better chance of survival. The trait mutated over time, causing the beetles with that trait to be darker.

Explanation:

In the picture that I had, it shows that some of the beetles in the first generation started to develop spots on their back or wings. It shows that later down the line, their backs start to get even more darker which means that is must be a trait that mutated over time that would allow the beetles with that trait to be significantly darker. They can't just change their traits if they want to so it would have to be something like mutation that caused it.

A gravel can be broken down into different kinds of substances by physical processes. No chemical reactions are needed to separa
Vlada [557]

Answer:

MIXTURE

Explanation:

A mixture is a substance composed of a combination of other different substances. These component(s) of a mixture are physically combined, meaning that there is no chemical linkage between the individual components/constituents of a mixture.

This is the case of the gravel described in this question. The components of gravel can be separated using physical means because they are not chemically bonded to one another, hence, no chemical reactions are needed to separate different parts of gravel into pure substances. This makes gravel a MIXTURE.

Which of these is not true?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

C. Atoms have isotopes of an element have different numbers of protons.

Explanation:

The isotopes are the variation in the number of neutrons (neutral charge), with increases the weight of the atom, so the first one, is related to this one.

Calculate the amount of CO2 (in kg) released when 1 kg of coal is burned. Assume that carbon content of the coal is 50% by mass.
Delvig [45]

Answer:

1.8321 kg

Explanation:

The given 1 kg of coal contains 50% of the carbon atom by mass. Thus, mass of carbon in coal is \frac {50}{100}\times 1\ kg=0.5\ kg

Also, 1 kg = 1000 g

So, mass of carbon = 500 g

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Molar mass of carbon = 12.0107 g/mol

Moles of methanol = 500 g / 12.0107 g/mol = 41.6295 moles

Considering the reaction:

C+O_2\rightarrow CO_2

From the reaction,

1 mole of C react to form 1 mole of CO_2

So,

41.6295 moles of C react to form 41.6295 moles of CO_2

Moles of CO_2 = 41.6295 moles

Molar mass of CO_2 = 44.01 g/mol

So, Mass = Moles × Molar mass = 41.6295 moles × 44.01 g/mol = 1832.1143 g

Also, 1g = 0.001 kg

<u>So, amount of CO_2 released = 1.8321 kg</u>

Which element has the largest atomic radius
iVinArrow [24]

Atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus to the last valance electron up to which the effect nucleus can be felt. The size of the atom depends on the Electrostatic interaction between nucleus and electron. Number of atomic orbitals present. With the increase in numbers of orbitals down the group the size of the atom increases. Again, as the numbers of electrons increases in the period ,the electrostatic interaction between nucleus and electron increases along the period. Therefore, size of atoms decreases along the period.

As expected the element with highest atomic radius is the last element of group 1 , Which is FRANCIUM ( Fr)

Explain why quartz, SiO2(s), does not spontaneously decompose into silicon and oxygen at 25 °C in the reaction: SiO2 (s) → Si(s)
elixir [45]

Answer:

ΔH > O and ΔH > TΔS

Explanation:

When a reaction is non-spontaneous even though the standard entropy change of the reaction is large and positive the reason is the reaction is highly endothermic and dominates the term TΔS in the standard Gibbs free energy expression:

ΔG = ΔH-TΔS

Remember that for an endothermic  reaction to be spontaneous ΔG < 0 and this can occur only if the term TΔS is greater than ΔH. This is not the case for quartz which requires a good quantity of energy to overcome its crystaline 3D lattice in which  the oxygen are shared between 2 silicon atoms.
