. 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.

Find the volume of an object that has a density of 3.14 g/mL and a mass of 52.9 g.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>16.8 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density}  \\

From the question

mass of object = 52.9 g

density = 3.14 g/mL

The volume of the object is

volume =  \frac{52.9}{3.14}  \\   = 16.847133757...

We have the final answer as

<h3>16.8 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

What quantity of heat is required to raise the temperature of 460g of aluminum from 15C to 85C?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Q = 28.9 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Aluminium, m = 460 g

Initial temperature, T_i=15^{\circ} C

Final temperature, T_f=85^{\circ}

We know that the specific heat of Aluminium is 0.9 J/g°C. The heat required to raise the temperature is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T\\\\Q=mc(T_f-T_i)\\\\Q=460\ g\times 0.9\ J/g^{\circ} C\times (85-15)^{\circ} C\\\\Q=28980\ J\\\\\text{or}\\\\Q=28.9\ kJ

So, 28.9 kJ of heat is required to raise the temperature.
