What is the SI unit of specific heat capacity? Specific heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of a substance by 1 kelvin (SI unit of specific heat capacity J kg−1 K−1). What is the specific heat capacity of HCl and NaOH? 4.017 J/g°C. What’s […]
Where is ocean water most saline?
Where is ocean water most saline? The saltiest locations in the ocean are the regions where evaporation is highest or in large bodies of water where there is no outlet into the ocean. The saltiest ocean water is in the Red Sea and in the Persian Gulf region (around 40‰) due to very high evaporation […]
What are the two main classifications of minerals?
What are the two main classifications of minerals? The two kinds of minerals are: macrominerals and trace minerals. Macro means “large” in Greek (and your body needs larger amounts of macrominerals than trace minerals). The macromineral group is made up of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, and sulfur. How many types of minerals are […]
Which of the following are characteristics of a generalist species?
Which of the following are characteristics of a generalist species? A generalist species is able to thrive in a wide variety of environmental conditions and can make use of a variety of different resources (for example, a heterotroph with a varied diet). A specialist species can thrive only in a narrow range of environmental conditions […]
Which material does sound travel fastest through?
Which material does sound travel fastest through? How fast speed travels, or the speed of sound, depends on the kind of matter it is moving through. Of the three phases of matter (gas, liquid, and solid), sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Can you hear sounds better […]
What is standard takeoff minimums?
What is standard takeoff minimums? As a quick reminder, standard takeoff minimums for one and two engine airplanes is 1-mile visibility and a 1/2 mile visibility for 3-4 engine airplanes. How do you find alternate minimums? To view the non-standard IFR alternate minimums information, you will need to go to the Airports page > search […]
Do light bulbs have high or low resistance?
Do light bulbs have high or low resistance? Incandescent light bulbs have a small filament which when heated begins to glow and emit light. The reason the filament heats up is because it has a high resistance, which means that as electrons move through the filament, they lose a lot of energy. Does a brighter […]
What are the characteristics of seedless vascular plants?
What are the characteristics of seedless vascular plants? Seedless vascular plants include ferns, horsetails and clubmosses. These types of plants have the same special tissue to move water and food through their stems and foliage, like other vascular plants, but they don’t produce flowers or seeds. Instead of seeds, seedless vascular plants reproduce with spores. […]
Which solid has the highest melting point?
Which solid has the highest melting point? tungsten Do impurities lower melting point? The presence of even a small amount of impurity will lower a compound’s melting point by a few degrees and broaden the melting point temperature range. Because the impurity causes defects in the crystalline lattice, it is easier to overcome the intermolecular […]
What are 10 sources of energy?
What are 10 sources of energy? What are Different Alternative Sources of Energy? Solar Energy. Wind Energy. Geothermal Energy. Hydrogen Energy. Tidal Energy. Wave Energy. Hydroelectric Energy. Biomass Energy. What causes dirty energy? Dirty power originates outside of and within your facility. Sources like lightning, utility switching, capacitor switching, and faults on the utility’s distribution […]
