Answer:
Explanation:
An oil spill is a catastrophic event in the environment. It can negatively affect both plants and wildlife while causing human suffering and economic losses. An oil spill needn't be on the scale of the Exxon Valdez or Deepwater Horizon disasters. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 200 million gallons of used oil are disposed of improperly each year.
Spilled oil floats on the surface of the water, blocking the sunlight, from reaching the plants within the body of water. Spilled oil may also directly coat the leaves of plants -- where most of the work of photosynthesis occurs -- reducing or blocking out sunlight. Without sunlight, plants lack the energy needed to undergo photosynthesis.
An oil spill can impact photosynthesis by reducing water quality. Not only does the presence of oil directly poison the water, but the spill can kill sea life, birdlife and other wildlife that uses an aquatic habitat. A large die-off can increase bacteria levels and lower the pH of a body of water. The reduction in water quality can stress plants, essentially halting photosynthesis.

if surface tension relies on intermolecular forces, how could you make surface tension decrease?
(think about how and where molecules bind to each other)
Answer:
We could make the surface tension to decrease by removing and causing a disruption to the intermolecular forces(hydrogen bonds).
Explanation:
To explain this answer, we will consider an experiment whereby a paper clip is made to rest at the top surface of water inside a container/beaker.
First of all, the intermolecular forces present in water are also known as hydrogen bonds.
It's relationship with surface tension is that when there is high surface tension in the water, this high tension will allow the paper clip to rest on top of the hydrogen bonds present at the top surface in between the water molecules.
However, the surface tension will decrease when we remove or cause a disruption to the intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonds).

What type of rock is limestone? Describe how a limestone rock is likely to change over a long period of time.
Answer:
Over time, the limestone is broken down into its chemical parts and may come back to the surface as volcanic CO2 (in the atmosphere). From the atmosphere, the CO2 might again become part of the biosphere by molluscs or corals absorbing the CO2 to help make their shells
Explanation:
Over a long period of time, we would take a look at the rock "limestone" through the rock cycle. Limestone being a sedimentary rock would be converted to marble, a metamorphic rock if subjected to metamorphic conditions over an extensive period of time.
6. A father rabbit had long ears while the mother rabbit had short ears. Which of these statements
explains why one of the baby bunnies could have long ears?
a
The baby bunny inherited its copies of the gene for ear length from its father and not from
its mother. Those genes connect together to make its ears long.
b
The baby bunny inherited its copies of the gene for ear length from its father and not from
its mother. Just like its father's genes, those genes instruct for proteins that connect in
ways that make its ears long.
С
The baby bunny inherited one copy of the gene for ear length from its father and one copy
from its mother. That gene combination instructs for proteins that connect in ways that
make long ears.
d
The baby bunny inherited one copy of the gene for ear length from its father and one copy
from its mother. Those genes connect together to make its long ears.

Novomatlan
Yes
Answer:
Look at the properties of Oxygen and Silicon - the two most abundant elements in the Earth's crust - by clicking on their symbols on the Periodic Table.
Explanation:
Answer:
D. silicon and oxygen
Explanation:
The most abundant elements on the earth's crust are silicon and oxygen. Silicon and oxygen forms a wide range of silicate minerals they are found in the crust.
There are many silicates which are derived from the basal units of silicon and oxygen combining together. Other atoms or elements then combines with the silicate framework.
Oxygen is about 46% abundant in the crust whereas silicon takes about 28% to be the second most abundant element on the crust.
Silicate minerals abounds in rocks and within the soil.

of water?
A. 0.33 mol/kg
B. 12 mol/kg
C. 3 mol/kg
D. 2 mol/kg
The molality of a solution : m = 0.33 mol/kg
Further explanationGiven
2 moles of NaOH in 6 kg of water
Required
The molality
Solution
Molality shows how many moles are dissolved in every 1000 grams of solvent.
m = n x (1000/p)
m = Molality
n = number of moles of solute
p = solvent mass (grams)
Input the value :
solute : NaOH
solvent : water
m = 2 moles : 6 kg
m = 0.33 mol/kg
Large areas on the leaves of some plants lack chlorophyll and are therefore not green in color. How does this most likely affect photosynthesis?
Not enough sunlight is captured in these areas of the leaves.
Carbon dioxide cannot enter these areas of the leaves.
Too much glucose builds up in these areas of the leaves.
Oxygen cannot be released in these areas of the leaves
Answer:
Not enough sunlight is captured in these areas of the leaves.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants manufacture their food using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.
The sunlight is the energy source which drives this chemical change or reaction.
Therefore, to capture the sunlight, the green pigment called chlorophyll is needed. Without this sunlight, photosynthesis will not take place. Photosynthesis is a light dependent reaction. Without light, the process is greatly hampered
How many moles of H 2 will I need to make 5 moles of NH3?

3rd law of thermodynamics..
2 Different Examples((Thnks))
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The third law of thermodynamics states that "the entropy of a perfect crystal of a pure substance approaches zero as the temperature approaches zero" (Wikipedia).
One example of the third law of thermodynamics has to do with steam. Steam is gaseous water. Since it is a gas, its molecules are free to move around therefore its entropy is high. When the temperature of the steam is decreased below 100 degrees, the molecules of steam loose energy and turn into liquid water and do not move as freely as they did in the gaseous state. If the temperature is further decreased to yield ice at zero degrees, the molecules of water are "frozen" in their positions and the entropy of the system decreases to zero.
Also, the ions in ionic crystal solids move around when the substance is in solution or in molten state hence the substance conducts electricity. When the ionic substance is in solid state, the ions do not move about and the entropy of the solid system tends towards zero.

"Henry mixed salt and water together in a cup until he observed a clear solution. He measured the mass of the solution. Then he placed the cup outside for several sunny days during the summer. After a week, he observed that only solid salt remained in the cup and the mass had decreased. Henry concluded that a physical and chemical change occurred in this investigation."
Which statements correctly defend or dispute his conclusion?
A.)He is correct. Dissolving salt in water is a physical change, but evaporating the water is a chemical change. Formation of a solid is evidence that a chemical change occurred.
B.)He is correct. Evaporation is a physical change, but dissolving salt in water is a chemical change. The change in mass is evidence that a chemical change occurred.
C.)He is incorrect. Dissolving salt in water and evaporation of the water are both physical changes. The reappearance of salt is evidence that the change was reversible by a physical change, so it could not be a chemical change.
D.)He is incorrect. Dissolving salt in water and evaporation of the water are both chemical changes. The reappearance of salt is evidence that the change was reversible by a chemical change, so it could not be a physical change.
Answer:
C.)He is incorrect. Dissolving salt in water and evaporation of the water are both physical changes. The reappearance of salt is evidence that the change was reversible by a physical change, so it could not be a chemical change.
Explanation:
From the analogy of the problem presented, we can see that Henry is grossly incorrect. His conclusion from the process of the experiment he carried out is completely wrong.
Physical changes are changes that alters the physical properties of matter particularly the form and state.
Chemical changes leads to the formation of a new kind of matter.
We can see that since the salt was obtained back after evaporation, no change has occurred to it.
Therefore, evaporation in itself is a physical change process.

Physical and chemical properties are used to describe and identify matter. Physical properties can be observed without changing the identity of the substance. Chemical properties can be observed by attempting to change the identity of a substance. What are two physical and chemical properties that you can use to help you identify a substance?
Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter that is being measured. ... Both extensive and intensive properties are physical properties, which means they can be measured without changing the substance's chemical identity

Which of the following atoms would have a charge of +1?
An atom with 9 protons, 9 electrons, and 9 neutrons
An atom with 7 protons, 11 electrons, and 8 neutrons
An atom with 5 protons, 5 electrons, and 4 neutrons.
An atom with 6 protons, 5 electrons, and 7 neutrons
Answer: An atom with 6 protons, 5 electrons, and 7 neutrons
Explanation: In this case, neutrons do not matter as they have a charge of 0, or no charge. A proton has a charge of +1 and an electron has a charge of -1. Since there are 6 protons, the total charge of the protons would be +6. Since there are 5 electrons the total charge of the electrons would be -5. +6 - 5 would result in a charge of +1. This means that this atom would have an overall charge of + 1. Basically, if there is one more proton than electron, then the overall charge of the atom will be +1 but if there is one more electron than proton, then the overall charge of the atom will be -1.
You need to make an aqueous solution of 0.150 M sodium fluoride for an experiment in lab, using a 500 mL volumetric flask. How much solid sodium fluoride should you add?
Answer:
Explanation:
Solution required is .15 M 500 mL sodium fluoride .
molecular weight of sodium fluoride = 42
one mole of sodium fluoride = 42 grams
No of moles contained in the solution of .15M , 500 mL solution
= .15 x 0.5 moles = .075 moles
1 mole = 42 g
.075 moles = .075 x 42 = 3.15 grams .
So mass of sodium fluoride required = 3.15 g .
