Chemistry

avanturin [10]3 years ago

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.

How many moles of water are in 1.23x10^18 water molecules
Harlamova29_29 [7]

By 1.23 x 1024 you mean 10 to the power of 24 molecules? If so all you need to do is divide the number of molecules you have by Avagadros number, 6.022 x 10^23. This will give you the mols of water, or the mols of anything, since there is always 6.022 x 10^23 molecules in 1 mol of substance.


1.23x10^24 atoms/6.022x10^23 atom/mol = 2.04 mol H20

Therefore, 30 hot dogs.

And the number of extra wieners left = 32 - 30 = 2 wieners.
