. Explain why some desert animals excrete uric acid rather than ammonia.(2 marks)​

Chemistry
1 answer:
avanturin [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

AFAIK

Explanation:

uric acid is much less toxic than ammonia, hence bigger concentrations of it are tolerated in the body. This means you can excrete it while excreting very little water - beneficial wherever water's not abundant.

There's a tradeoff though, uric acid requires more energy to synthesize than ammonia, so pretty much all fish, say, excrete ammonia rather than uric acid - it's no problem to dilute ammonia since there's no water shortage.

3. How many atoms in 3.91 moles of sodium?
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for sodium is Na. It does not form a molecule in some way.

1 mol Na = 6.02*10^23 atoms

3.91 mol = x                                    Cross multiply

x = 3.91 * 6.02 * 10^23

x = 23.65 * 10^23

x = 2.365 * 10^24

Scientific notation is always expressed as a number 1 ≤ x < 10

In the laboratory you are asked to make a 0.565 m sodium bromide solution using 315 grams of water. How many grams of sodium bro
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer : The mass of sodium bromide added should be, 18.3 grams.

Explanation :

Molality : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in kilograms of solvent.

Formula used :

Molality=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Mass of solvent}}

Solute is, NaBr and solvent is, water.

Given:

Molality of NaBr = 0.565 mol/kg

Molar mass of NaBr = 103 g/mole

Mass of water = 315 g

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

0.565mol/kg=\frac{\text{Mass of NaBr}\times 1000}{103g/mole\times 315g}

\text{Mass of NaBr}=18.3g

Thus, the mass of sodium bromide added should be, 18.3 grams.

PLEASE HELP!!!!! And thanks in advance
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

the respiratory system and the circulatory system work closely together to deliver oxygen to cells and to get rid of the carbon dioxide the cells produce. The circulatory system picks up oxygen in the lungs and drops it off in the tissues, then performs the reverse service for carbon dioxide.
