scientist created diagram X to represent the molecules of a kind of gas in a closed container. Diagram Y represents the molecules in the container after the size of the container was reduced. The temperature in the container was not changed. What most likely happened to the system when the scientist changed the size of the container? A. Matter was added. B. Matter was removed. C. The pressure increased. D. The pressure decreased.
The most likely outcome when the scientist changed the size of the container is that the pressure increased.
Option (C) is correct.
When the size of the container is reduced while keeping the temperature constant, the gas molecules experience a decrease in volume. According to Boyle's law (P₁V₁ = P₂V₂), if the volume decreases, the pressure of the gas will increase.
Diagram X represents the initial state with larger volume, and diagram Y shows the final state with reduced volume. Since the temperature remains constant, the pressure must change to counterbalance the change in volume.
As the volume decreases, the gas molecules have less space to move around, and they collide more frequently with the container walls. This increased collision rate results in a higher pressure exerted by the gas on the container walls.
Hence, the most likely outcome when the scientist changed the size of the container is that the pressure increased, which corresponds to option C.

Explanation:
Are all mutations harmful? Explain.
Answer:
Most mutations are not harmful
Explanation:
but some can be. A harmful mutation can result in a genetic disorder or even cancer. Another kind of mutation is a chromosomal mutation. Chromosomes, located in the cell nucleus, are tiny threadlike structures that carry genes.

How would you classify this atom of oxygen?
Answer:
Oxygen is a chemical element – a substance that contains only one type of atom. Its official chemical symbol is O, and its atomic number is 8, which means that an oxygen atom has eight protons in its nucleus. Oxygen is a gas at room temperature and has no colour, smell or taste. Oxygen is found naturally as a molecule.

1. Tom and Tina decided they wanted to start a family. Tom knew his grandfather had sickle-cell disease. Sickle-cell disease is a recessive disorder that causes blood cells to stiffen and take on a crescent shape. These blood cells have a difficult time moving through the blood vessels and can cause health problems. Tina didn’t know of any family members that had it. Still, before they got pregnant they both went to the doctor for genetic tests. The doctor found that even though Tom and Tina were healthy, they both carried the gene for sickle-cell disease. Make a Punnett Square to determine the probability of Tom and Tina’s child having sickle-cell disease.
Use the space below to tell the probability of Tom and Tina having a child with sickle-cell and explain how you determine that.

Explain 3 examples of kinetic and Potential energy
Answer:
1. Planets; movement of planets around the sun and other stars in the galaxy is kinetic energy
2. Rubber Bands; can be classified as both potential and kinetic energy, depending on the state of the band (when stretch=potential energy; when released=kinetic energy)
3. Rivers; strictly kinetic energy. the water is constantly moving creating kinetic energy.

My project is on candles and wax.
If it'll help, here is my hypothesis: If the waxes being tested are beeswax, palm wax, paraffin wax, and soy wax, then the palm wax should burn the slowest and last the longest.
Answer:
OK, you can say:
Waxes are a diverse class of organic compounds that are lipophilic, malleable solids near ambient temperatures. They include higher alkanes and lipids, typically with melting points above about 40 °C (104 °F), melting to give low viscosity liquids. Waxes are insoluble in water but soluble in organic, nonpolar solvents. Natural waxes of different types are produced by plants and animals and occur in petroleum.

Answer: c
Explanation:
Friction is similar to drag. Like drag it acts on an object in the opposite direction from the object’s motion.
How does the friction slow motion?
Answer:
• Friction is a force that occurs when two surfaces slide past
one another.
• The force of friction opposes the motion of an object,
causing moving objects to lose energy and slow down.
• When objects move through a fluid, such as air or water, the
fluid exerts a frictional force on the moving object. The
frictional force from a fluid is called a drag force.
• Friction examples: tires skidding to a stop on a road,
sandpaper rubbing against wood, air pushing against the
nose of an airplane
• Friction drag force causes objects to slow down as they move through a
fluid, such as air or water.
• Drag force depends primarily on the following variables:
– Cross‐sectional area of an object moving through the fluid
– Speed of moving object
– Density of the fluid
– Drag coefficient (determined by experiments; related to the shape of
the object)
• Drag force is especially dependent on the speed of an object. As an
object’s speed increases, the drag force from the fluid increases
exponentially.
• For example, when you drive at high speeds, the frictional force of air on
the car increases and fuel economy decreases

Why does transporting materials during production release carbon dioxide?
-Materials release carbon dioxide as they move around in vehicles.
-Materials exposed to air get warm easily. The warm materials release more carbon dioxide.
-Materials break down as they move and cause pollution. Pollution releases carbon dioxide.
-Vehicles used to move materials consume fuel and release carbon dioxide.
