Answer:

Explanation:

What occurred then is as a result of nuclear fission. This occurs as the Uranium-235 split into two smaller nuclei while releasing high energy neutrons. These neutrons bombard existing U-235 in the atmosphere and this reaction continue in a spontaneous manner until a chain reaction is formed of U-235, whose fall out fills the environment. This process was what led to people been exposed to high intensity radiation in the days and months after the atomic bomb was dropped.

six different aqueous solutions are represented in the beakers below, and there total volumes are noted. (a) which solution has
wolverine [178]

The molarity of the solutions are as follows:

  • solution B has the highest molarity
  • solutions A, D and F have the same molarity
  • solutions A and C are mixed together have a lower molarity than B
  • solution F and D will have the same molarity
  • Volume of water required to be evaporated is 8.3 mL

<h3>What is molarity of a solution?</h3>

The molarity of a solution is the amount in moles of a substance present in a given volume of solution.

From the image of the solution given:

  • solution B has the highest molarity
  • solutions A, D and F have the same molarity
  • when solutions A and C are mixed, the resulting solution have a lower molarity than B
  • solution F and D will have the same molarity after 75 mL and 50 mL of water are added to each respectively
  • the molarity of B is 12/50 = 4/16.7. Volume of water required to be evaporated = 25 - 16.7 = 8.3 mL

Therefore, the molarity of the solutions depends on the moles of substance present per given volume of solution.

Why is the classification species not considered a group? (1 point)
vitfil [10]

Each species is a separate type of organism.

  • A species is a group of creatures that share similar traits. The same species of organisms are capable of sexual reproduction as well as interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. It is a fundamental unit of taxonomy and classification.
  • The system is divided into seven categories: Kingdom, Phylum or Division, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. Kingdom is the most inclusive category.
  • In a group, many types of an organism can be included even if they do not share the same traits. But species is a group of organisms that share similar traits.
  • For example, human beings are species as they are all alike in physical features, way of reproduction, etc. But the animal is considered a group because it included a variety of living beings.

Therefore, Each species is not considered a group.
