The most accurate answer is A.

Bacterial cells are generally very small, almost 10 times smaller than most animal and plant cells. Most bacterial cells measure about 0.2 to 10 microns or micrometers which in inches is 0.0000079 to 0.00039.

One of the reasons that bacterial cells are so small is that they require a large surface area to volume ratio to be able to take in nutrients. They take in nutrients from their surroundings through the process of diffusion.

What acids in alcohol make it evaporate

fgiga [73]

The acids found in alcohol that make it evaporate are called organic acids.

An organic acid is an organic compound that has acidic properties. There are two types: one has a carboxyl (COOH) group, and the other type has a phenol group.

The most common organic acids are those with a carboxyl group and include acetic acid, formic acid, lactic acid and all fatty acids. Perfumes include organic acid in their composition to make them volatile. Volatile substances evaporate easily, and this is important for perfumes. They need to dissipate easily into the surrounding environment and spread their good smell.

A solid mixture consists of 47.6g of KNO3 (potassium nitrate) and 8.4g of K2SO4 (potassium sulfate). The mixture is added to 130

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer: No crystals of potassium sulfate will be seen at 0°C for the given amount.

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of potassium nitrate = 47.6 g

Mass of potassium sulfate = 8.4 g

Mass of water = 130. g

Solubility of potassium sulfate in water at 0°C = 7.4 g/100 g

This means that 7.4 grams of potassium sulfate is soluble in 100 grams of water

Applying unitary method:

In 100 grams of water, the amount of potassium sulfate dissolved is 7.4 grams

So, in 130 grams of water, the amount of potassium sulfate dissolved will be $\frac{7.4}{100}\times 130=9.62g$

As, the soluble amount is greater than the given amount of potassium sulfate

This means that, all of potassium sulfate will be dissolved.

Hence, no crystals of potassium sulfate will be seen at 0°C for the given amount.

the average kinetic energy of the particles in a gas increases as the temperature of the gas increases. explain

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Explanation: Volume versus Temperature: Raising the temperature of a gas increases the average kinetic energy and therefore the rms speed (and the average speed) of the gas molecules. Hence as the temperature increases, the molecules collide with the walls of their containers more frequently and with greater force.
