What is the relationship between the concentration of particles in a solution and the solution’s vapor pressure? As solute conce
kap26 [50]

Answer:

As solute concentration increases, vapor pressure decreases.  

Step-by-step explanation:

As solute concentration increases, the number of solute particles at the surface of the solution increases, so the number of <em>solvent </em>particles at the surface <em>decreases</em>.

Since there are fewer solvent particles available to evaporate from the surface, the vapour pressure decreases.

C. and D. are <em>wrong</em>. The vapour pressure depends <em>only</em> on the number of particles. It does not depend on the nature of the particles.

Many repeating, simple subunits are joined together. What is the most likely
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

O a polymer

Explanation:

When many repeating simple subunits are joined together, this results into a polymer.

The simplest unit or smallest unit of any substance is called a monomer. When many units of a monomer joins together, a polymer results.

  • For proteins, the monomeric unit is amino-acid.
  • When they combine they form longer chain molecules called proteins.
  • For carbohydrates, the monomeric unit is called glucose.
  • When they are combined they give us a wide range of carbohydrate molecules.

The answer is:  " 1.75 * 10 ^(-10)  m " .
_________________________________________________________
Explanation: 
_________________________________________________________
This very question asked for "Question Number 3 (THREE) ONLY, which is fine!
_________________________________________________________
Given: " 0.000000000175 m " ;  write this in "scientific notation.
_________________________________________________________
Note:   After the "first zero and the decimal point" {Note: that first zero that PRECEDES the decimal point in merely a "placeholder" and does not count as a "digit" — for our purposes} —
                     There are NINE (9) zeros, followed by "175"
_______________________________________________________
To write in "scientific notation", we find the integer that is written, as well, as any "trailing zeros" (if there are any—and by "trailing zeros", this means any number consecutive zeros/and starting with "the consecutive zeros" only —whether forward (i.e., "zeros following"; or backward (i.e. "zeros preceding").

In our case we have "zeros preceding";  that is a decimal point with zeros PRECEDING an "integer expression"<span>
</span><span> (the "integer" is "175").</span>
______________________________________________________
We then take the "integer expression" (whatever it may be:  12, 5, 30000001 ; or could be a negative value,  etc.) ;  

→  In our case, the "integer expression" is:  "175" ;

and take the first digit (if the expression is negative, we take the negative value of that digit;  if there is only ONE digit (positive or negative), then that is the digit we take ;

And write a decimal point after that first digit (unless in some cases, there is only one digit);  and follow with the rest of the consecutive digits of that 'integer expression' ;

→ In our case:  "175" ; becomes:  " 1.75" .
__________________________________________________
Then we write:  "  * 10^ "
__________________________________________________
   {that is "[times]"; or "multiplied by" :    [10 raised exponentially to the power of  <u>     </u> ]._____________________________________________________
 And to find that power, we take the "rewritten integer value (i.e. "whole number value that as been rewritten to a single digit with a decimal point"); and count the [number of "trailing zeros";  if there are any; PLUS the number of decimal places one goes] ; and that number is the value to which "10" is raised.
{If there are none, we write:  " * 10⁰ " ;    since "any value, raised to the "zero power", equals "1" ; so " * 10⁰ " ; is like writing:  " * 1 " .

If there are "trailing zeros" AND/OR or  any number of decimal places,  to the "right" of this expression; the combined number of spaces to the right is: 
  { the numeric value (i.e. positive number) of the power to which "10" is raised }.

Likewise, if there are "trailing zeros" AND/OR or any number of decimal places, to the "LEFT" of this expression; the combined number of spaces to the LEFT is the value of the power which "10" is raised to; is that number—which is a negative value.

In our case:  we have:  0.000000000175 * 10^(-10) .

Note:  The original notation was:

             →  " 0.000000000175 m "

{that is:  "175" [with 9 (nine) zeros to the left].}.

We rewrite the "175" ("integer expression") as:

"1.75" .
____________________________________________________
So we have:
         →   " 0.000000000175 m " ;

Think of this value as:

        " 0. 0000000001{pseudo-decimal point}75   m ".

And count the number of decimal spaces "backward" from the
      "pseudo-decimal point" to the actual decimal; and you will see that there are "10" spaces (to the left).   
______________________________________________________
Also note:  We started with "9 (nine)" preceding "zeros" before the "1" ;  now we are considering the "1" as an "additional digit" ;
             →  "9 + 1 = 10" .
______________________________________________________
Since the decimals (and zeros) come BEFORE (precede) the "175" ; that is, to the "left" of the "175" ; the exponent to which the "10" is raised is:
 "NEGATIVE TEN" { "-10" } .

So we write this value as:  " 1.75 * 10^(-10)  m " .  

{NOTE:  Do not forget the units of measurement; which are "meters" —which can be abbreviateds as:  "m" .} . 
______________________________________________________
The answer is:  " 1.75 * 10^(-10)   m " .

The reaction for photosynthesis producing glucose sugar and oxygen gas is:
Anvisha [2.4K]

<u><em>1.5 grams of glucose is produced from 2.20 g of CO₂.</em></u>

To find the mass of glucose produced, first you must know the balanced reaction. For this, the Law of Conservation of Matter is followed.

The law of conservation of matter states that since no atom can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms that are present in the reagents has to be equal to the number of atoms present in the products.

So, in this case, the balanced reaction is:

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the amounts of moles of each reactant and product participate in the reaction:

  • CO₂: 6 moles
  • H₂O: 6 moles
  • C₆H₁₂O₆: 1 mole
  • O₂: 6 moles

So, you know that 2.20 g of CO₂ react, whose molar weight is 44.01 g/mole. By definition of molar mass, 1 mole of CO₂ has 44.01 g. So, the number of moles that 2.20 grams of the compound represent is calculated as:

moles of CO_{2} =2.20 grams*\frac{1 mole}{44.01 grams}

moles of CO₂= 0.05 moles

Now you must follow the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry of the reaction 6 moles of CO₂ produce 1 mole of C₆H₁₂O₆, 0.05 moles of CO₂ produce how many moles of C₆H₁₂O₆?

moles of C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} =\frac{0.05moles of CO_{2} *1 mole of C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}}{6moles of CO_{2}}

moles of C₆H₁₂O₆= 8.33*10⁻³

Being the molar mass of glucose 180.18 g/mole, the mass that 8.33*10⁻³ moles of the compound represent is calculated as:

mass of glucose =8.33*10^{-3} moles*\frac{180.18 grams}{1 mole}

<em>mass of glucose= 1.5 grams</em>

Then, <u><em>1.5 grams of glucose is produced from 2.20 g of CO₂.</em></u>
