Answer:

Parents pass on traits or characteristics, such as eye colour and blood type, to their children through their genes.These two copies of the gene contained in your chromosomes influence the way your cells work. The two alleles in a gene pair are inherited, one from each parent.

What type of consumer are bears?

sashaice [31]

Bears are omnivores (and scavengers), meaning they eat both plants and animals.
it can be both a primary consumer (if it eats plants) and secondary & tertiary consumers (if it eats a plant-eating animal). so it depends on what it eats.

100 points! Report on an element

Luden [163]

Hydrogen H weight: 81

Non-metal

Hydrogen is the simplest element; an atom consists of only one proton and one electron. It is also the most plentiful element in the universe. Despite its simplicity and abundance, hydrogen doesn't occur naturally as a gas on the Earth--it is always combined with other elements.

period 1 group 1

Hydrogen is easily the most abundant element in the universe. It is found in the sun and most of the stars, and the planet Jupiter is composed mostly of hydrogen. On Earth, hydrogen is found in the greatest quantities as water.

I need help with 1,2,3, and 4

Schach [20]

Answer:

Problem 1: 1.85atm

Problem 2: 110mL

Problem 3: 290 mL

Problem 4: 1.14 atm

Explanation:

Problem 1

1. Data

a) P₁ = 3.25atm

b) V₁ = 755mL

c) P₂ = ?

d) V₂ = 1325 mL

r) T = 65ºC

2. Formula

Since the temeperature is constant you can use Boyle's law for idial gases:

$PV=constant\\\\P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

3. Solution

Solve, substitute and compute:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\\P_2=P_1V_1/V_2$

$P_2=3.25atm\times755mL/1325mL=1.85atm$

Problem 2

1. Data

a) V₁ = 125 mL

b) P₁ = 548mmHg

c) P₁ = 625mmHg

d) V₂ = ?

2. Formula

You assume that the temperature does not change, and then can use Boyl'es law again.

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

3. Solution

This time, solve for V₂:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\\V_2=P_1V_1/P_2$

Substitute and compute:

$V_2=548mmHg\times 125mL/625mmHg=109.6mL$

You must round to 3 significant figures:

$V_2=110mL$

Problem 3

1. Data

a) V₁ = 285mL

b) T₁ = 25ºC

c) V₂ = ?

d) T₂ = 35ºC

2. Formula

At constant pressure, Charle's law states that volume and temperature are inversely related:

$V/T=constant\\\\\\\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}$

The temperatures must be in absolute scale.

3. Solution

a) Convert the temperatures to kelvins:

T₁ = 25 + 273.15K = 298.15K

T₂ = 35 + 273.15K = 308.15K

b) Substitute in the formula, solve for V₂, and compute:

$\dfrac{V_1}{T_1`}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}\\\\\\\\\dfrac{285mL}{298.15K}=\dfrac{V_2}{308.15K}\\\\\\V_2=308.15K\times285mL/298.15K=294.6ml$

You must round to two significant figures: 290 ml

Problem 4

1. Data

a) P = 865mmHg

b) Convert to atm

2. Formula

You must use a conversion factor.

1 atm = 760 mmHg

Divide both sides by 760 mmHg

$\dfrac{1atm}{760mmHg}=\dfrac{760mmHg}{760mmHg}\\\\\\1=\dfrac{1atm}{760mmHg}$

3. Solution

Multiply 865 mmHg by the conversion factor:

$865mmHg\times \dfrac{1atm}{760mmHg}=1.14atm\leftarrow answer$

Complete the sentence. When an acid is added to water, hydroxide ions __________.

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The hydroxide ions decrease.

Explanation:

I got it right on the quiz. This is what I saw. Read this, "Adding water to an acid or base will change its pH. Water is mostly water molecules so adding water to an acid or base reduces the concentration of ions in the solution. When an acidic solution is diluted with water the concentration of H + ions decreases and the pH of the solution increases towards 7."

Hope this helps! Tell me if this is wrong just incase.
