Answer:

The answer is because they are not a substance, but a mixture of organic compounds.

Explanation:

A range of values is used because they are not a substance, but a mixture of organic compounds that has a range of molar masses. Corn syrup contains glucose in not less than 70% by weight of total solids and a reducing sugar content of 20% by weight on a dry basis. The composition of gasoline depends on the source from which it is extracted, therefore it has different molar masses. A gasoline with a long carbon chain is heavy and has a higher mass for a fixed volume, so its density will increase. Any change affecting the product will lead to an increase or decrease in density.

Have a nice day!

A range of values is given for the density of gasoline and corn syrup could be because these substances changes their volumes along with the changes in temperature which will result to a change in density as well. Hope this answers the question.

After attending his cousin's birthday party in his backyard, Michael forgot his balloon outside when he went to bed. Overnight,

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

You see, we must cast our minds back to Charles' law. Charles' law gives the relationship between the volume of a gas and temperature of the gas.

Now, Micheal left the balloon outside at a particular temperature and volume the previous night. Overnight, the temperature dropped significantly and so must the volume of the gas in the balloon!

Remember that Charles' law states that, the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature at constant pressure. Since the pressure was held constant, the drop in the volume of gas in the balloon can be accounted for by the drop in temperature overnight.

Transferring or sharing electrons between atoms forms

Brums [2.3K]

Transferring or sharing electrons between atoms forms a covalent bond. Covalent bonding is when atoms share electrons. It is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs. These pairs are called bonding pairs. Examples of compounds that has covalent bonds are CO2, organic compounds, lipids and proteins.
