You are studying a large tropical reptile that has a high and relatively stable body temperature. How would you determine whethe

Explanation:

Endothermic animals are also known as warm-blooded, they have the capacity to regulate their body temperature independent of the environment. They have mechanisms to compensate if heat loss exceeds heat generation (shivers) Or if heat generation exceeds the heat loss (panting, sweating).

On the other hand, ectothermal animals are known as cold blooded organisms and depend on external sources, like sunlight, to regulate their body temperature, reptiles are ectothermals.

To determine if the animal of interest is endo or ectothermal you’ll have to consider that is a reptile, you’ll also observe that it consumes less food and finally it’ll have more difficulties to adapt to sudden temperature changes.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Students working in lab accidentally spilled 17 l of 3.0 m h2so4 solution. they find a large container of acid neutralizer that
bogdanovich [222]

Answer is: 8568.71 of baking soda.

Balanced chemical reaction: H₂SO₄ + 2NaHCO₃ → Na₂SO₄ + 2CO₂ + 2H₂O.

V(H₂SO₄) = 17 L; volume of the sulfuric acid.

c(H₂SO₄) = 3.0 M, molarity of sulfuric acid.

n(H₂SO₄) = V(H₂SO₄) · c(H₂SO₄).

n(H₂SO₄) = 17 L · 3 mol/L.

n(H₂SO₄) = 51 mol; amount of sulfuric acid.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(H₂SO₄) : n(NaHCO₃) = 1 :2.

n(NaHCO₃) = 2 · 51 mol.

n(NaHCO₃) = 102 mol, amount of baking soda.

m(NaHCO₃) = n(NaHCO₃) · M(NaHCO₃).

m(NaHCO₃) = 102 mol · 84.007 g/mol.

m(NaHCO₃) = 8568.714 g; mass of baking soda.

How do moss leaves and fish differ? How are they the same?
Lapatulllka [165]
Moss leaves and fish are different in that, the moss leave is a producer, that is, it produces its own food through photosynthesis while the fish is a consumer, it feeds on foods that are not produced by it.  
Both moss and fish are the same in the sense that both have cell as their basic unit of life, that is, they both possess cells.

Which element would you expect to form an ionic compound when combined with bromine (Br)?
daser333 [38]
Ionic bond is formed due to the transfer of electrons from one atom to another so that all atoms involved in the bond would become stable (with 8 electrons in the outermost level)

Now, for bromine, it has 35 electrons. This means that bromine has 7 valence electrons in the outermost level. Therefore, bromine needs to gain one electron in order to become stable.

Bromine can react with elements from:
group 1: each element in group 1 needs to lose one electron to become stable. Therefore, one bromine atom can form an ionic bond when combined with an atom of an element from group 1 (element in group 1 loses its electron for bromine atom).
group 2: each element in group 2 needs to lose two electrons to become stable. Therefore, two bromine atoms can form ionic bonds when combined with an atom of an element from group 2 (element in group 2 loses two electrons, one for each bromine atom).
group 3: each element in group 3 needs to lose three electrons to become stable. Therefore, three bromine atoms can form ionic bonds when combined with an atom of an element from group 1 (element in group 3 loses three electrons, one for each bromine atom).

Since no choices are given , I cannot tell the exact choice. But the correct one would be the element from either group 1 , 2 or 3.
