The correct option is A.

Sediments refers to those particles that are found inside water bodies such as rivers, streams, etc. The ability of the water bodies to carry these particles when flowing depend on the rate of flow of the river. A fast flowing river has high velocity and this will enable it to carry with it most of the particles that are found in it. For instance, a fast flowing river will conveniently carry sand size sediments wit its flow because of its high velocity.

The correct answer is option a, that is, it would lift them and carry them downstream.  

The sediments refer to the particles, which are found within the water bodies like streams and rivers. The tendency of the water sources to carry the sediments relies on the rate at which it is flowing. For example, a fast flowing river, that is, flowing with a greater velocity will possess the tendency to lift the majority of the sediments and carry them downstream with it.

On the enzyme hexokinase, ATP reacts with glucose to produce glucose 6-phosphate and ADP five orders of magnitude faster than AT
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

[The rate differential results from induced fit on the enzyme upon binding of glucose. This conformational change excludes water from gaining access to the -phosphate group on ATP, and brings the same group close to the OH group on carbon 6 of glucose]

What are the concentrations of Cu2+, NH3, and Cu(NH3)42+ at equilibrium when 18.8 g of Cu(NO3)2 is added to 1.0 L of a 0.800 M s
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cu(NO₃)₂ + 4NH₃ = Cu(NH₃)₄²⁺  + 2 NO₃⁻

187.5 gm      4M           1 M

187.5 gm reacts with 4 M ammonia

18.8 g     reacts with  .4 M ammonia

ammonia remaining left after reaction

= .8 M - .4 M = .4 M .

187.5 gm reacts with 4 M ammonia   to form 1 M Cu(NH₃)₄²⁺

18.8 g reacts with .4 M ammonia  to form 0.1 M Cu(NH₃)₄²⁺  

At equilibrium , the concentration of Cu²⁺ will be zero .

concentration of ammonia will be .4 M

concentration of  Cu(NH₃)₄²⁺ formed will be 0.1 M

Which theory was contradicted by experiments with the photoelectric effect?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Wave theory of light that states that visible light irrespective of its color, can cause the ejection of electrons when it strikes a metal.

Explanation:

Wave theory of light:

  1. If we go through wave theory of light, it clearly focuses that light is of actually wave nature not particle nature.
  2. The wave theory was based on the ideas of Hertz who discovered in 1887 that metallic surface can emit heat energy (electrons) when light hits the metal.  If we increase the intensity of light, it will also increase the incident energy and ultimately increase the kinetic energy of electrons.  
  3. Moreover, the frequency of light do not matters much, just a beam of light can eject the electrons from the metal.

Photoelectric effect:

On the other hand, Photoelectric effect can be considered only if we assume that light has particle like nature and not wave like nature.  

  1. It also says that frequency of light matters alot in ejecting the electrons from the metals. If the frequency of light is less, it will not eject electrons from the metal surface even if it falls on metal for a very long time.
  2. It also says that  maximum kinetic energy of the electrons (that are emitted) corresponds with the light frequency that caused the emission of electrons.
  3. The current of emitted electrons is directly proportional to the intensity of light that caused the electron emission.

We can see that the postulates of wave theory (like no.3) are just opposite to the postulates of photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect also explained the relationship between emitted electrons and light in a better way that was not described by wave theory. We can say that it is as advanced explanation of facts based on the classical theory of wave like nature of visible light.
