Provide one example of how life on Earth would not be possible without water based on its characteristics.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: ice is less dense than liquid water. If ice was more dense, Earth would freeze.

Explanation: There are many reasons why life on Earth depends on the characteristics of water. One could discuss hydrogen bonds and its role as a solvent, but the unusual property of water is is the change in density with change in temperature. Water is densest at 4 degC, which is why ice floats - it is less dense than cold water (it melts quickly in warm water, so density isn’t impotant at higher temperatures). Most liquids are less dense than the solid, frozen form. If this was the case with water, any ice that formed would sink, and sease would freeze from the bottom up. Furthermore, the lowest layers would be insulated and would not all melt in summer. Thus over time, the seas would become a thin layer of liquid water at best, over solid ice. Life could not develop without liquid seas. In addition, ice is reflective, reducing the amount of sunlight absorbed, further reducing temperatures. Without ocean circulation, polar areas would be even colder, and there would be no rain.

why are cell wall chloroplast and vacuole found in plant cell only while centriole is for animal cell only?​

Answers

Answer:

The cell wall and chloroplasts are essential for autotrophic processes, basically allowing plant life to thrive off of self-made nutrients/food. This is why they are only in plant cells.

Centriole:Anatomically, animal cells have them and plant cells don't have them. Centrioles direct the movement of chromosomes during cell division, but plant cells don't need this since they use photosynthesis.

A chemist needs 2.00 g of a liquid compound, which has a density of 0.718 g/mL. If the
compound costs $5.67 per mL, how much will a 2.00 gram sample cost?

Answers

Sample cost = $15.796

Further explanation

Given

Mass = 2 g

Density = 0.718 g/ml

Cost =  $5.67 per mL

Required

Cost

Solution

The density : the ratio of mass and volume

Can be formulated :

Density (ρ) = m : V

The volume of the liquid :

V = m : ρ

V = 2 g : 0.718 g/ml

V = 2.786 ml

Sample cost :

= 2.786 ml x $5.67/ml

= $15.796

please fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answers

Answer:

1 g/mL.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Volume = 100 mL

Mass = 100 g

Density =?

Density of a substance is simply defined as the mass of the substance per unit volume of the substance. The density can be expressed mathematically as:

Density (D) = mass (m) / volume (V)

D = m / V

With the above formula, we can obtain the density of the liquid as follow:

Volume (V) = 100 mL

Mass (m) = 100 g

Density (D) =?

D = m / V

D = 100 / 100

D = 1 g/mL

Thus, the density of the liquid is 1 g/mL

Explanation:

Ionic bonding results from electron transfer. To form this bond type, metals lose electrons and becomes positive ions. While non-metals gain electrons to become negatively charged.

Ionic bond forms between a very less electronegative substance and one with with a higher one. The two ions formed attracts one another with an electrostatic force. This electrostatic force is the ionic bonding that holds the atoms together.

Over long periods of time, a series of processes continuously change rocks from one type into another. This is called the rock cycle. A combination of subsurface and surface processes are responsible for the recycling of rocks in the geosphere.(that was the story)
What two processes are responsible for changing metamorphic and igneous rock into sedimentary rock?(this is the question)
A) intrusive and extrusive
B) weathering and erosion
C) subduction and sea floor spreading
D) heat and pressure

Answers

Answer:

B) weathering and erosion

Explanation:

The two processes responsible for changing metamorphic and igneous rocks into sedimentary rocks is weathering and erosion.

Weathering is the defined as the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.

Erosion is the removal of weathered materials from the surface of the earth.

The process of erosion and weathering serves to convert igneous and metamorphic rocks into sediments by which a sedimentary rock is formed.

Answer: The rock cycle

Explanation: Well its kinda obious that it is the rock cycle because the question says it changes countinuously to other rocks so yeah rock cycle is answer to question.

Which of the following is true of ionic bonds?
Moving electrons become delocalized between the atoms creating the
ionic bond
Electrostatic attraction results in the arrangement of charged atoms in a
regular, geometric structure called a crystal lattice.
Transferring of valence electrons creates the bond
The bond is created by oppositely charged metal and nonmetal atoms
Sharing Valence electrons between nonmetal atoms creates the bond

Answers

Answer:

D: The bond is created by oppositely charged metal and nonmetal atoms.

Explanation:

An ionic metal basically involves a metal and a nonmetal in bonding. A metal is a cation with a + charge and a nonmetal is a anion with a - charge. I will give you an example. Magnesium Chloride is a ionic bond. This is because Magnesium is a metal with a +2 charge(so it is a cation). Chloride or Chlorine is a nonmetal because it has a -1 charge.(so it is a anion). The chemical formula for magnesium chloride is MgCl2.

An empty Erlenmeyer flask weights 241.3 g. When filled with water (d = 1.00 g cmଷ ⁄ ), the flask and its contents weight 489.1 g. What is the flask’s volume? What is the mass of the flask when filled with chloroform (d = 1.48 g cmଷ ⁄ )?

Answers

Answer:

608 g

Explanation:

Mass of flask + contents = 489.1 g

Mass of flask = 241.3 g.

Mass of water = 489.1 - 241.3 = 247.8 g

Density of water = 1.0 g/cm^3

volume of water = 247.8 g/1.0 g/cm^3

Volume = 247.8 cm^3

But

Volume of flask = volume of water

Volume of flask = 247.8 cm^3

volume of chloroform = volume of flask

mass of chloroform = 1.48 g/cm^3× 247.8 cm^3

Mass of flask + chloroform = 366.7 g + 241.3 = 608 g

Explanation:

We have been given that the salinity of sea water is 3.5%;

  Now the mass of sea water sample is 2000g

So, problem here is to find the quantity of pure water in the sample = ?

Solution:

Let us find the quantity of the salt in the sample;

       Salt content  = 3.5% x 2000  = 70g

Amount of pure water  = 2000 - 70 = 1930g
