Part A:
Identify a property of water that contributes its movement through the capillary tubes. Explain how the
molecular structure of water contributes to this property.
Plants use a similar mechanism to move water through their stems. In a specific species of plant, the
vessels are approximately 0.3 mm in diameter.
Part B:
Estimate how tall this species of plant can grow. Explain how the molecular structure of the vessels can
be modified to increase the maximum height of the plant without changing the diameter of the vessels.

Part A:Identify A Property Of Water That Contributes Its Movement Through The Capillary Tubes. Explain

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A

i) A property of water that contributes to its movement through capillary tubes is adhesion, which is the capacity of water to stick to other surfaces

ii) Water has a polar molecular structure as such the hydrogen present in the water molecules form bonds with the oxygen present in the silicon oxide molecules from which the capillary tube is normally made

Part B.

i) From the given graph, the function appears to have a vertical asymptote at x = 0, therefore, the plant can grow infinitely tall

ii) The molecular structure of the vessel can be modified such that the walls incorporate more oxygen molecules per mole which will increase the number and the strength of the hydrogen bond between the water molecules and the walls of the plant vessel and therefore, increase the capillary action, the water height and the maximum height of the tree

Answer: The moles of nitrogen dioxide produced are 96.3

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number [tex]6.023\times 10^{23}[/tex] of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given volume}}{\text {Molar volume}}=\frac{3714L}{22.4L}=165.8moles[/tex]

[tex]4NH_3(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4NO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)[/tex]

According to stoichiometry:

7 moles of oxygen [tex](O_2)[/tex] produce = 4 moles of nitrogen dioxide [tex](NO_2)[/tex]

Thus 168.5 moles of oxygen [tex](O_2)[/tex] will produce = [tex]\frac{4}{7}\times 168.5=96.3[/tex] moles of nitrogen dioxide [tex](NO_2)[/tex]

the diagrams represent the same number of particles of a gas in 2 containers D snd E, Which have different volume. the two containers are at the same temperature.

Answers

In container E, the pressure will be higher than container D

Further explanation

Given

Container with :

the same particlesthe same temperaturethe different volume

Required

The higher pressure container

Solution

Boyle's Law  stated that :

At a constant temperature, the gas volume is inversely proportional to the pressure applied  

[tex]\rm p_1V_1=p_2.V_2\\\\\dfrac{p_1}{p_2}=\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}[/tex]

From the diagram (picture), it shows that the volume of container D is greater than container E, so the pressure applied to container D will be less than the pressure applied to container E

100 cm3 of hydrogen is mixed with 25 cm3 of oxygen at a temperature of 150qC. The gases react as shown in the equation below. 2H2(g)+ O2(g) o 2H2O(g) The total volume of gas present at the end of the reaction is A 50 cm3 B 100 cm3 C 125 cm3 D 150 cm

Answers

Answer:

B 100 cm3

Explanation:

The balanced equation is given as;

2H2(g)+ O2(g) --> 2H2O(g)

From the reaction stochiometry, 2 cm3 of H2 would react with 1 cm3 of O2 to form 2 cm3 of H2O

Before Reaction --> 100cm3 of H2,   25cm3 of O2,  0cm3 of H2O

During Reaction --> 50cm3 of H2,    25cm3 of O2,   50cm3 of H2O

(Oxygen is sed uup in the reaction)

After Reaction   --> 50cm3 of H2,    0cm3 of O2,     50cm3 of H2O

Total volume left = Unreacted H2 (50cm3)  +  50cm3 of H2O formed

Total Volume left = 50  + 50  =  100cm3

The total volume of gas present at the end of the reaction is 100 cm³

What is a chemical reaction?

a process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance, as distinct from a change in physical form or a nuclear reaction.

The balanced equation is given as;

2H₂(g)+ O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g)

From the reaction stoichiometry, 2 moles of H₂ would react with 1 mole of O₂ to form 2 moles of H₂O

Before Reaction:  100cm³ of H₂,   25cm³ of O₂,  0cm³ of H₂O

During Reaction:  50cm³ of H₂,    25cm³ of O₂,   50cm³ of H₂O

(Oxygen is used up in the reaction)

After Reaction:  50cm³ of H₂,    0cm³ of O₂,     50cm³ of H₂O

Total volume left = Unreacted H₂ (50cm³)  +  50cm³ of H₂O formed

Total Volume left = 50  + 50  =  100cm³

Hence, The total volume of gas present at the end of the reaction is 100 cm³

Happy Holidays!!

Answers

Answer:

a liquid with weak intermolecular forces and a high temperature

Explanation:

According to encyclopedia Britannica, "Vapour pressure is a measure of the tendency of a material to change into the gaseous or vapour state, and it increases with temperature. The temperature at which the vapour pressure at the surface of a liquid becomes equal to the pressure exerted by the surroundings is called the boiling point of the liquid."

This implies that the vapour pressure of a liquid tends to increase as the temperature of the liquid increases. Recall that vapour pressure also depends on the magnitude of intermolecular forces. The greater the magnitude of intermolecular forces, the lower the vapour pressure hence water has very much higher vapour pressure than ethane.

Given

Required

The pressure at its bottom

Solution

Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure caused by the weight of a liquid.  

The weight of a liquid is affected by the force of gravity.  

The hydrostatic pressure of a liquid can be formulated:  

[tex]\large{\boxed{\bold {P_h ~ = ~ \rho.g.h}}[/tex]

Ph = hydrostatic pressure (N / m², Pa)  

ρ = density of liquid (kg / m³)  

g = acceleration due to gravity (m / s²)  

h = height / depth of liquid surface (m)  

ρ = density of water (kg / m³) = 1000

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/ sec²

The pressure

[tex]\tt P=1000\times 9.8\times 2=19600~N/m^2[/tex]

Base your answer on the information below. Polonium-210 occurs naturally, but is scarce. Polonium-210 is primarily used in devices designed to eliminate static electricity in machinery. It is also used in brushes to remove dust from camera lenses. Polonium-210 can be created in the laboratory by bombarding bismuth-209 with neutrons to create bismuth-210. The bismuth-210 undergoes beta decay to produce polonium-210. Polonium-210 has a half-life of 138 days and undergoes alpha decay. Determine the total mass of an original 28.0-milligram sample of Po-210 that remains unchanged after 414 days. Show the math setup, the arrows, and your answer for full credit.

Answers

Answer:

3.5 milligram

Explanation:

From;

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

Where;

N = amount of Po-210 that remains unchanged after 414 days

No = 28.0 milligram of Po-210 originally present

t = 414 days

t1/2 = half life of Po-210 = 138 days

Substituting values;

N/28 = (1/2)^414/138

N/28 = (1/2)^3

N/28 = 1/8

8N = 28

N = 28/8

N = 3.5 milligram

The translation of the question is

250 g of alcohol have been put in a glass together with 2 g of iodine, which dissolve completely. Calculate the concentration of the solution in% by mass?

Answer:

The %mass by mass of the given solution is 0.794%

Explanation:

We are given

Mass of solute(Iodine) = 2g

Mass of the solvent (Alcohol) = 250g

Since the Iodine dissolves completely in Alcohol

Total mass of the solution = 250 + 2 = 252g

the formula of concentration of the solution in  % by  Mass is given by

%[tex]\frac{w}{W} = \frac{Mass of the solute*100}{Total mass of the solution}[/tex]

%w/W = [tex]\frac{2*100}{252}[/tex]

          = 0.794%

Therefore the %mass by mass of the given solution is 0.794%
