Answer:

It is a obsessive eating disorder. Where one eats over the average amount and then makes themselves vomit. This is called purging. It is one of 3 main eating disorders. It is a very complex and misunderstood disease. One typically confuses it with binge eating or anorexia.

Calculate the total energy, in kilojoules, that is needed to turn a 46 g block
neonofarm [45]

Answer: The total energy, in kilojoules, that is needed to turn a 46 g block of ice at -25 degrees C into water vapor at 100 degrees C is 11.787 kJ.

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 46 g

Initial temperature = -25^{o}C

Final temperature = 100^{o}C

Specific heat capacity of ice = 2.05 J/g^{o}C

Formula used to calculate the energy is as follows.

q = m \times C \times (T_{2} - T_{1})

where,

q = heat energy

m = mass

C = specific heat capacity

T_{1} = initial temperature

T_{2} = final temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

q = m \times C \times (T_{2} - T_{1})\\= 46 g \times 2.05 J/g^{o}C \times (100 - (-25))^{o}C\\= 11787.5 J (1 J = 0.001 kJ)\\= 11.787 kJ

Thus, we can conclude that the total energy, in kilojoules, that is needed to turn a 46 g block of ice at -25 degrees C into water vapor at 100 degrees C is 11.787 kJ.

4) Example of physical properties: colour, Smell, texture, boiling and melting point density and viscosity.

11) Cations are formed when positively-charged ions and anions negatively-charged ions are formed when a metal loses electrons, and a nonmetal gains those electrons. The electrostatic attraction between the positives and negatives brings the particles together and creates an ionic compound, such as sodium chloride.

12) Quantum mechanical model: The Quantum Mechanical Model. ... The quantum mechanical model of the atom uses complex shapes of orbitals (sometimes called electron clouds), volumes of space in which there is likely to be an electron.

Hope these helped!

How are potassium chloride molecules formed explain ​
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

When the two atoms are in contact, potassium readily transfers its outer electron to chlorine which readily accepts it, resulting in both atoms achieving a state of eight outermost electrons. With this electron transfer, the ionic bond in KCl is formed.

Seawater has a salinity of 3.5%, i.e. 35 g of solid NaCl for one kilogram of seawater. For simplicity, assuming that all dissolv
artcher [175]

Answer:

π = 29.3 atm

Explanation:

The osmotic pressure π is given by

π = i MRT, where i=Vant Hoff factor =2 for NaCl ( 2 moles ions/mol NacL)

                            M = molarity

                            R = 0.0821 Latm/molK

                            T = temperature K

Assuming density of solution is 1 g/mL

M= 35 g/58.44 gmol / 1 L =  0.60 M

π = 2.0 x 0.60 mol/L x 0.0821 Latm/kmol x 300K = 29.3 atm
