Trainers use this substance because the reaction of the product on the skin is an exothermic one. This produces a feeling of warmth and heat. Heating an injury like a sprain with warmth or heat increases blood flow to the area and promotes healing as the flow of blood carries the necessary substances for healing.

Which atom will gain electrons in the reaction, and how many.

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Most atoms do not have eight electrons in their valence electron shell. Some atoms have only a few electrons in their outer shell, while some atoms lack only one or two electrons to have an octet. In cases where an atom has three or fewer valence electrons, the atom may lose those valence electrons quite easily until what remains is a lower shell that contains an octet. Atoms that lose electrons acquire a positive charge as a result because they are left with fewer negatively charged electrons to balance the positive charges of the protons in the nucleus. Positively charged ions are called cations. Most metals become cations when they make ionic compounds.

Mary and her siblings share similar hair color. Which of these cell components are most involved in determining the hair color o

aksik [14]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

1. Mary and her siblings share similar hair color. Which of these cell components are most involved in determining the hair color of each sibling?

Gene, Chromosome, Nucleus

Cytoplasm, Chloroplasts,Genes

Vacuoles, Nucleus, Chromosomes

Chromosomes, Chloroplasts, Vacuoles

Answer:

Gene, Chromosome, Nucleus

Explanation:

Gene is defined in biology as "a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring" (Oxford Dictionary).

The gene is located in the chromosomes in the nucleus of cells. The sum total of the genes that an organism inherits from its parents is called the organisms' genotype and determines certain features of the organism.

The hair colour of Mary and each of her siblings depends on the genes they received from their parents.

How does concentration affect boiling point of a solvent?

nalin [4]

Answer / explanation:

How does concentration affect boiling point of a solvent?

The amount by which the boiling point is raised is directly dependent on the concentration of the solute.

The higher the concentration of a solute, the more it is said to be difficult for the solvent molecules to escape into the gas phase.

However, when a non volatile amount of substance is dissolved in a given solvent, the boiling point of the given solvent increases.

The higher the concentration, the more higher the boiling point of a solvent.

It requires a higher temperature for enough solvent molecules to escape , this the boiling point is raised elevatedly

The following data is given to find the formula of a Hydrate:

umka21 [38]

The masses can be found by substractions:

Mass of CaSO₄.H2O (hydrate):

16.05 g - 13.56 g = 2.49 g

Mass of CaSO₄ anhydrate:

15.07 g - 13.56 g = 1.51 g

The mass of water is equal to the difference between the mass of the hydrate and the mass of the anhydrate:

2.49 g - 1.51 g = 0.98 g

The percent of water is found by the formula:

massWater ÷ massHydrate * 100%

0.98 g ÷ 2.49 g * 100% = 39.36%

The mole of water is calculated using water's molecular weight (18g/mol):

0.98 g ÷ 18 g/mol = 0.054 mol water

A similar procedure is made for the mole of salt (CaSO₄ = 136.14 g/mol)

1.51 g ÷ 136.14 g/mol = 0.011 mol CaSO₄

The ratio of mole of water to mole of anhydrate is:

0.054 mol water / 0.011 mol CaSO₄ = 0.49

In other words the molecular formula for the hydrate salt is CaSO₄·0.5H₂O
