Answer:
Many plants have thorns on their stems or leaves. What is the MOST likely explanation for the evolution of thorns?
A) Thorns help plants produce more food from photosynthesis.
B) Thorns are an example of a mutation that arises in the genetic code of plants.
C) Thorns help plants to conserve resources like water and soil nutrients that may be used by other organisms.
D) Thorns are an adaptation that some plants have evolved in order to discourage herbivores from eating the plant.
2)
Explanation:
Answer:
H^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) —> H2O(l)
Explanation:
We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction.
2HCl(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) —> CaCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
Ca(OH)2 is a strong base and will dissociates as follow:
Ca(OH)2(aq) —> Ca^2+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq)
HCl is a strong acid and will dissociates as follow:
HCl(aq) —> H^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq)
Thus, In solution a double displacement reaction occurs as shown below:
2H^+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) + Ca^2+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) —> Ca^2+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) + 2H2O(l)
To get the net ionic equation, cancel out Ca^2+ and 2Cl^-
2H^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) —> 2H2O(l)
H^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) —> H2O(l)
Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When a more reactive element or atom replaces a less reactive atom then this type of reaction is known as single displacement reaction.
In the given reaction, potassium iodide reacts with fluorine and results in the formation of potassium fluoride and iodine.
Here, fluorine being more reactive displaces iodine from potassium iodide.
Therefore, it is a single replacement or displacement reaction.
C. no difference in the electronegativity of oxygen and hydrogen
Answer:
Step 3
Explanation:
I am back sorry it took me so long, I believe its Step 3 because that's were you chose your strategy, you use it in Step 4, but if its not Step 3 its Step 4
1. identifying
problem solving step: 1)__ the problem is most difficult: not in habit of asking what the problem really is; in the habit of reacting or giving up
2. representing
problem solving step: 2) __ the problem: abstract or external representation
3. strategy
problem solving step: 3) selecting an appropriate __; trial and error vs means-ends analysis
4. implementing
problem solving step: 4) __ the strategy; dependent on previous steps
