Answer:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of frequencies (the spectrum) of electromagnetic radiation and their respective wavelengths and photon energies. The electromagnetic spectrum covers electromagnetic waves with frequencies ranging from below one hertz to above 10²⁵ hertz, corresponding to wavelengths from thousands of kilometers down to a fraction of the size of an atomic nucleus. This frequency range is divided into separate bands, and the electromagnetic waves within each frequency band are called by different names; beginning at the low frequency (long wavelength) end of the spectrum these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays at the high-frequency (short wavelength) end. The electromagnetic waves in each of these bands have different characteristics, such as how they are produced, how they interact with matter, and their practical applications. There is no known limit for long wavelengths, while it is thought that the short wavelength limit is in the vicinity of the Planck length. Extreme ultraviolet, soft X-rays, hard X-rays and gamma rays are classified as ionizing radiation as their photons have enough energy to ionize atoms, causing chemical reactions. Exposure to these rays can be a health hazard, causing radiation sickness, DNA damage and cancer. Radiation of visible light wavelengths and lower are called nonionizing radiation as they cannot cause these effects.

Temperate deciduous trees lose their leaves in Fall. Explain why trees in temperate rainforest and tropical rainforest don’t los

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

So trees in temperate don't lose their leaves because the weather events aren't harsh enough.

Trees in tropical rainforest don't lose their leaves because they are a different type of tree known as evergreens that are green all year round.

Explanation:

Ok so first we'll define some things

Deciduous Trees= Trees that lose all of their leaves for part of the year.

Trees shed their leaves trees to try and survive harsh weather events.

Temperate deciduous trees lose their leaves in fall to better survive the winter conditions of extreme cold and reduced daylight.

Temperate rainforests = An area that doesn't experience extremely cold or extremely hot temperatures or what we would call harsh weather events.

Broad-leaved trees in tropical rainforests are known evergreen, they are known as this as they are green all year round.

Water is made of polar molecules, and oil is made of nonpolar molecules. Based on your observations, which molecules attract eac

victus00 [196]

Based on observation of polar and non-polar molecules, polar molecules would attract each other more strongly.

<h3>What are polar and non-polar molecules?</h3>

Polar molecules are those molecules that can ionize or dissociate into their respective positive and negative ions when in an aqueous solution.

Nonpolar molecules, on the other hand, are not ionic i.e. not dissociating into ions when dissolved in water.

Polar molecules like water (H2O) contains an uneven distribution of cations (+) and anions (-), hence, would be more attracted to one another than nonpolar molecules that have an even distribution of ions.

Can someone find the independent variable and the dependent variable ?

Tatiana [17]

Independent Variable here is ”Speed”, since the independent variable is defined as (what's the scientist changes or what changes on its own)... And in here, both cars were traveling at 60 mph ’at a certain point, so, one of them might speed up or stay behind/lower it's speed from the other, depending on it's driver’.

Dependent Variable here is ”Distance”, since the dependant variable is defined as (what s being studied/measured).

How do you see the use of nuclear energy? formulate a concise and clear opinion.

solong [7]

Explanation:

Nuclear energy and technology are used within food and agriculture to make processes safer and more effective. For example, nuclear-related technologies are used in sterilizing agricultural pests to reduce the use of pesticides. This makes it impossible for the bugs to reproduce, gradually eliminating them.

Describe the buffer capacity of the acetic acid buffer solution in relation to the addition of both concentrated and dilute acid

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The answer is in the explanation

Explanation:

Acetic acid, CH₃COOH, is a weak acid that will produce a buffer when its conjugate base, CH₃COO⁻, acetate ion, is added to the solution.

<em>That is because a buffer is the mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.</em>

When an acid (HX) is added to the solution, the acetate ion will react producing acetic acid, thus:

CH₃COO⁻ + HX → CH₃COOH + X⁻

For this reason, the pH doesn't change abruptly because H⁺ ions are not produced.

Now, if a base (BOH) is added to the buffer, CH₃COOH will react producing acetate ion and water, thus:

CH₃COOH + BOH → CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O + B⁺.

In the same way, there are not produced free OH⁻ and the pH doesn't change significantly.
