A compound is a substance consisting of atoms or ions of two or more different elements in definite proportions joined by chemical bonds into a molecule. The elements can not be separated by physical means. Water, for example, is a compound having two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom per molecule. An element is a substance consisting of atoms which all have the same number of protons - i.e the same atomic number. Elements can not be broken down using chemical methods.

Elements:
1. Magnesium (Mg)
2. Calcium (Ca)

Compounds:
1. Sodium chloride (NaCl)
2. Hydrogen chloride (HCl)

Order the terms according to the path followed by oxygen during cellular respiration.​
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Outside air

Nose

Lungs

Bloodstream

Cell

Explanation:

We breathe in oxygen from the outside air in through our nose and it travels to our lungs. Inside our lungs, we have Avioli's that diffuse oxygen into our bloodstream and the bloodstream helps the oxygen travel into our cells.

Hope this helps :)

TRUE OR FALSE QUESTIONS

1: <u>FALSE</u> The physical properties of metals include <u>shininess</u>, malleability, ductility, and conductivity.

2: <u>FALSE</u> Neutrons are the particles in an atom that have a <u>neutral charge</u>. They aren't positive like protons. They aren't negative like electrons.

3: <u>TRUE</u> Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev was a Russian chemist and inventor. He is best remembered for formulating the Periodic Law and creating a farsighted version of the periodic table of elements. He is also known as the <u>"father of the periodic table" </u>

Bill and Tom are both towing wagons. Bill's wagon weighs 10 pounds, and Tom's wagon weighs 20 pounds. Bill is pulling his wagon
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

  • <em><u>B) Bill's wagon is moving 4 times faster than Tom's. </u></em>

<u />

Explanation:

The motion of the wagons is determined by the net force that acts upon them, according to Newton's second law of motion:

  • Force = mass × acceleration ⇒ acceleration = Force / mass

From your data, you can fill this table to compare the accelerations:

                          Bill's wagon   Tom's wagon

mass (lb)                 10                      20

force                       2F                      F

acceleration           2F/10                 F/20

Find the ratio between both accelarations:

  • Bill's wagon acceleration / Tom's wagon acceleration
  • (2F/10) / (F/20) = (2 × 20 / 10 ) = 4

Meaning that the acceleration of Bill's wagon is 4 times the acceleration of Tom's wagon.

Assuming, that both wagons start from rest, you can obtain the speeds from the kinematic equation for uniformly accelerated motion:

  • Speed = acceleration × time, V = a × t.

Call the acceleration of Tom's wagon X, then the acceleration of Bill's wagon will be 4X.

So, depending on the time, using V = a × t, the speeds will vary:

t (s)                                      1         2         3        4

Speed Tom's wagon         X        2X      3X     4X  

Speed Bill's wagon           4X      8X     12X    16X

Concluding that Bill's wagon is moving 4 times faster than Tom's (option B).

A 200.0-mL sample of helium gas is in a cylinder with a movable piston at 110 kPa and 275 K. The piston is pushed in until the s
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

P₂ = 261 KPa

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of sample = 200 mL

Initial pressure = 110 KPa

Initial temperature = 275 K

Final volume = 95 mL

Final temperature = 310 K

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

Formula:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

P₂ = P₁V₁T₂ /T₁ V₂

P₂ = 110 KPa× 200 mL× 310 K /275 K  × 95 mL

P₂ = 6820000 KPa / 26125

P₂ = 261 KPa
