Which of the following sets represents a pair of isotopes? 14C and 14N 206Pb and 208Pb O2 and O3 32S and 32S2-
ludmilkaskok [199]
Isotopes are substances that have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons. Hence, the pair of isotopes above should be of the same element. In the given choices, 14C is not an isotope of 14N. 206Pb is an isotope of 208 Pb. O2 and O3 differ in molecular formula but still made up of same kind of atom, hence they are allotropes, while 32S and 32S2- are not isotopes.

when obtaining energy, why mushrooms are more like elephants eating and not like dandelions absorbing sunlight.
Julli [10]

Answer:

Because they lack chlorophyll (a green pigment in plants that helps them trap sunlight, used to manufacture their food through photosynthesis)

Explanation:

Mushrooms are heterotrophs. They are not plants or autotrophs. Mushrooms, just like every living thing that exists need energy in order to live. Only plants, or autotrophs, can directly use energy from the sun (the ultimate energy) to make food. Those organisms that cannot harness the sun's energy are known as heterotrophs. Mushrooms are fungi (belong to kingdom Fungi) and are heterotrophs because they decompose and consume nutrients from the soil. They are not green so they cannot photosynthesis due to lack of chlorophyll.

A gas in a sealed container has an initial pressure of 125 kPa at 25.0∘C. If the pressure is increased to 150.0 kPa, what will t
Serjik [45]

Answer:

T'=30^{\circ} C

Explanation:

Initial pressure, P = 125 kPa

Initial temperature, T = 25.0°C

If new pressure is increased to P' = 150.0 kPa

We need to find new temperature. According to Gay-Lussac's law,

P ∝ T

or

\dfrac{P}{T}=\dfrac{P'}{T'}\\\\T'=\dfrac{P'T}{P}\\\\T'=\dfrac{150\times 25}{125}\\\\=30^{\circ} C

So, the new temperature will be 30^{\circ} C.
