Freeze drying<span> (or lyophilization) removes water from the ice cream by lowering the </span>air pressure<span> to a point where ice sublimates from a </span>solid<span> to a </span>gas<span>. The ice cream is placed in a </span>vacuum chamber<span> and frozen until the water </span>crystallizes<span>. The air pressure is lowered, creating a partial vacuum, forcing air out of the chamber; next heat is applied, </span>sublimating<span> the ice; finally a freezing coil traps the vaporized water. This process continues for hours, resulting in a freeze-dried ice cream slice. </span>
Answer:
d) They're studying something for which they cant do an experiment
Explanation:
There are several things that can help scientists evaluate which category something belongs to. The similarity in features is one of them. If two skulls looked alike, they were probably species of the same evolutionary category. For example say humans and monkeys rather than humans and dogs.
Similarly fossils have helped scientists categorise species. Study of the chromosomes (in cases with available chromosomes) can help scientists figure out a lot about the subjects and categorise them.
Answer:
Explanation:
The question will be easier to solve if we interpret it as, " How long will it take until one-fourth of a sample of the element remains,?"
The half-life of the element is the time it takes for half of it to decay.
After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.
After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.
We can construct a table as follows:
The reaction for the combustion of methane can be expressed as follows.
CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O
We solve first for the amount of carbon dioxide in moles by dividing the given volume by 22.4L which is the volume of 1 mole of gas at STP.
moles of CO2 = (5.6 L) / (22.4 L/1 mole)
moles of CO2 = 0.25 moles
Then, we can see that every mole of carbon dioxide will need 1 mole of methane
moles methane = (0.25 moles CO2) x (1 moles O2/1 mole CO2)
= 0.25 moles CH4
Then, multiply this by the molar mass of methane which is 16 g/mole. Thus, the answer is 4 grams methane.
