What is the advantage of having large vertebrae at the base of the vertebral column?

1 answer:

3 0

The advantage of having large vertebrae at the base of the vertebral column is having stability in terms of the center of gravity of the animal. If the animal has a large vertebrae, then it has an excellent balance and strength.

When 1.04g of cyclopropane was burnt in excess oxygen in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rose by 3.69K. The total heat capac

STatiana [176]

Answer:

$\Delta _{comb}H=-2,093\frac{kJ}{mol}$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since these calorimetry problems are characterized by the fact that the calorimeter absorbs the heat released by the combustion of the substance, we can write:

$Q_{rxn}+Q_{cal}=0$

Thus, given the temperature change and the total heat capacity, we obtain the following total heat of reaction:

$Q_{rxn}=-14.01kJ/K*3.69K\\\\Q_{rxn}=-51.70kJ$

Now, by dividing by the moles in 1.04 g of cyclopropane (42.09 g/mol) we obtain the enthalpy of combustion of this fuel:

$n=\frac{1.04g}{42.09g/mol}=0.0247mol\\\\\Delta _{comb}H=\frac{Q_{rxn}}{n}\\\\ \Delta _{comb}H=-2,093\frac{kJ}{mol}$

Best regards!

Describe the changes in properties (from metals to nonmetals or from nonmetals to metals) as we move (a) down a periodic group a

defon

Answer:

Explanation:

The changes in properties from metals to non-metals on a periodic table can be measured and determined by the metallicity or electropositivity of elements.

Metallicity is a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons.

Down a periodic group, metallicity increases.

Across a period from left to right electropositivity or metallicity decreases.

Metals are found in the left part of periodic table and the most reactive metal sits in the lower left corner. Non-metals are towards the right side of the table.

At 4.00 L, an expandable vessel contains 0.864 mol of oxygen gas. How many liters of oxygen gas must be added at constant temper

fgiga [73]

Answer:

We have to add 2.30 L of oxygen gas

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Initial volume = 4.00 L

Number of moles oxygen gas= 0.864 moles

Temperature = constant

Number of moles of oxygen gas increased to 1.36 moles

Step 2: Calculate new volume

V1/n1 = V2/n2

⇒V1 = the initial volume of the vessel = 4.00 L

⇒n1 = the initial number of moles oxygen gas = 0.864 moles

⇒V2 = the nex volume of the vessel

⇒n2 = the increased number of moles oxygen gas = 1.36 moles

4.00L / 0.864 moles = V2 / 1.36 moles

V2 = 6.30 L

The new volume is 6.30 L

Step 3: Calculate the amount of oxygen gas we have to add

6.30 - 4.00 = 2.30 L

We have to add 2.30 L of oxygen gas
