How sensitive to changes in water temperature are coral reefs? To find out, measure the growth of corals in aquariums where the water temperature is controlled at different levels. Growth is measured by weighing the coral before and after the experiment. (a) What are the explanatory and response variables?
explanatory variable:
response variable:
(b) Are they quantitative or categorical?
The explanatory variable is:
The response variable is:

Answers:

(a) The explanatory variable is the change in the temperature .

The response variable is the coral survivance.

(b) The explanatory variable is quantitative.

The response variable is categorical.

Explanation:

A quantitative variable is those that can take a range of values. In this case, the temperature may vary across a range of values associated with the survival of coral reefs.  

A categorical (also known as qualitative) variable is characterized to present finite states. In this case, the coral reefs can survive or not depending on their responses to changes in the temperature.

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms

"standard molar enthalpy:

h2o ( liquid water ) : - 285.8 kj/mole

h2o ( water vapor ) : - 241.8 kj / mole.

δhrxn = - 241. 8 - ( - 285.8 )= -241.8 + 285.8 = 44.0

answer: 44.0 kj"
