. 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.

Which polymer structure should be used if a strong and heat - resistant adhesive is required?
alexira [117]

Cross-linked polymers are strong and heat - resistant hence they can be used for this purpose.

A polymer is obtained by the combination of small molecules called monomers. A polymer consists of a regular repeating unit of small molecules called monomers.

A cross-linked polymer is a polymer in which covalent bonds are used to join polymer chains together. Cross-linked polymers are strong and heat - resistant hence they can be used for this purpose.

if you are told to get 100 mL of stock solution to use to prepare smaller size sample for an experiment, which piece of glasswar
fgiga [73]

Answer:

A beaker  

Step-by-step explanation:

Specifically, I would use a 250 mL graduated beaker.

A beaker is appropriate to measure 100 mL of stock solution, because it's easy to pour into itscwide mouth from a large stock bottle.

You don't need precisely 100 mL solution.

If the beaker is graduated, you can easily measure 100 mL of the stock solution.

Even if it isn't graduated, 100 mL is just under half the volume of the beaker, and that should be good enough for your purposes (you will be using more precise measuring tools during the experiment).

What volume would 0.735 moles of O2 gas occupy at STP
tatiyna

Answer:

16.5 dm³

Explanation:

Data Given:

no. moles of O₂ =  0.735 moles

volume of O₂ = ?

Solution:

Now

we have to find volume of O₂ gas

Formula used for this purpose

                   No. of moles = Volume / molar volume

where

molar volume at STP for Oxygen (O₂) = 22.4 dm³/mol

              No. of moles O₂ = Volume of O₂ / 22.4 dm³/mol . . . . . .(1)

Put values in equation 1

                0.735 = Volume of O₂ / 22.4 dm³/ mol

rearrange above equation

              Volume of O₂ = 0.735 x 22.4 dm³/ mol

              Volume of O₂ = 16.5 dm³

So,

the volume of O₂ at STP is 16.5 dm³
