Which adaptation would be most likely to help a prey species avoid predators?

2 answers:

5 0

Anti-predator mechanisms are mechanisms developed by prey through evolution or a learning process. The following are the most common mechanisms.

Camouflage, Living Underground, Nocturnality and Apostatic Selection.

Apostatic Selection is an evolutionary process that allows the survival of less frequent species of the same prey.

Nocturnality: Preys whose predator hunt during the day tend to live and hunt for food at night to avoid the predators.

Camouflage: This involves taking the colour of an object or natural habitat to avoid the predator.

A change in which property of light will have no effect on whether or not the photoelectric effect occurs?

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

intensity

Explanation:

Intensity has no affect on whether or not the photoelectric effect occurs. The determining property is frequency and since frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional, wavelength matters as well

Calculate the maximum numbers of moles and grams of H₂S that can form when 158 g of aluminum sulfide reacts with 131 g of water:

Phantasy [73]

What is Chemical Reaction?

A chemical reaction is the chemical transformation of one set of chemical components into another.

Main Content

Mass of aluminium sulfide is 158g

Mass of water is 131g

The chemical reaction: $Al_{2}S_{3} +H_{2}O _\to Al(OH)_{3} + H_{2}S$

First, balance the chemical equation

$Al_{2}S_{3} + 6H_{2}O \to 2Al(OH)_{3} + 3H_{2}S$

Aluminium sulfide has a molar mass of 150.16 g/mol and water has a molar mass of 18.02 g/mol. As a result, the moles of aluminum sulfide are computed as follows:

$n_{Al_{2}S_{3} } = \frac{Mass}{Molar mass}\\n_{Al_{2} S_{3} } = \frac{158g}{150.16g/mol} \\n_{Al_{2}S_{3} }=1.05 mol$

From the chemical reaction , the ratio of molar is 3mol $H_{2}S/1 mol Al_{2}S_{3}.$ So, the moles of hydrogen sulfide are:

$n_{H_{2} O} =\frac{131g}{18.02g/mol}$

= 7.26mol

From the chemical reaction, the molar ratio is 3 mol $H_{2}S/6$ mol $H_{2}O.$ So, the moles of hydrogen sulfide are:

Moles of $H_{2}S$ formed = 7.26 mol $H_{2}O \times \frac{3 mol H_{2}S }{6 mol H_{2} O} }$

Th liming reactant is $Al_{2}S_{3}$ beacuse the mass of $Al_{2}S_{3}$ forms less product than water. Therefore, the maximum number of moles of $H_{2}S$ is 3.15 mol. We know that molar mass of $H_{2}S$ is 34.10g/mol. So, the maximum mass of $H_{2}S$ formed is,

$m_{H_{2}S } = n_{H_{2}S } \times$ Molar mass of $H_{2}S$

= 3.15 mol $\times$ 34.10g/mol

= 107.4g

Now, multiplying the number of moles of $Al_{2}S_{3}$ by the molar ratio between $Al_2S_3$ and $H_2O$ which is 6mol $H_2O/1mol$ $Al_2S_3$ we get the number of moles of $H_2O$ reacted.

Moles of $H_2O$ reacted = 1.05 mol $Al_{2}S_3 \times \frac{6 mol H_2O}{1 mol Al_2S_3}$

= 6.31 mol $H_2O$

The mass of $H_2O$ is,

$m_{H_{2} O}$ = 6.31 mol $\times$ 18.02g/ mol

= 114g

On subtracting, the mass of $H_2O$ reacted from the given mass of $H_2O$ is,

$m_{H_2O}$ = (131-114)g

= 17g

Hence, the excess remaining reactant is 17g

According to the kinetic-molecular theory, the average kinetic energy of gas particles depends on which factor?

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Temperature.

Explanation:

Kinetic molecular theory of gases states that gas particles exhibit a perfectly elastic collision and are constantly in motion.

According to the kinetic-molecular theory, the average kinetic energy of gas particles depends on temperature.

This ultimately implies that, the average kinetic energy of gas particles is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of an ideal gas. Thus, an increase in the average kinetic energy of gas particles would cause an increase in the absolute temperature of an ideal gas.

Temperature can be defined as a measure of the degree of coldness or hotness of a physical object. It is measured with a thermometer and its units are Celsius (°C), Kelvin (K) and Fahrenheit (°F).
