I'm pretty sure they come closer, and on the small chance i'm wrong, they separate.<span />

When heat is applied to molecules, they speed up and separate, that's why water turns to steam. Hope this helps!

For each situation below, state whether water will move into the cell, move out of the cell, or stay the same.

Firdavs [7]

Water moves from an area of higher water potential (aka. "more water" in simple language) to an area of lower water potential (aka. "less water" in simple language).

For A, cells in carrots have water stored in their cytoplasm, where many soluble substances may be found (e.g. sodium ions). On the other hand, pure water has no other soluble substances other than the water molecules (I.e. H2O). Pure water will thus have a higher water potential as compared to the water in carrot cells, and so, water will move from pure water into the carrot cells via osmosis down a concentration gradient.

B. Corn syrup is water that has high concentrations of sugars, thus it is very likely to have a lower water potential than the cells of carrots. Water will move from within the cells of carrots and out to the corn syrup, down a concentration gradient.

C. The water in carrot cells will stay the same, since carrot cells have the same water potential as the surrounding solution which has the same water potential as cytoplasm.

Hope this helps! :)

Which equation best represents the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of potassium phosphate

laiz [17]

Answer:

2PO₄³⁻ + 3Fe²⁺ → Fe₃(PO₄)₂(s)

Explanation:

In a net ionic equation you list <em>only the ions that are participating in the reaction. </em>

When potassium phosphate, K₃PO₄, reacts with iron (II) nitrate, Fe(NO₃)₂ producing iron (II) phosphate, Fe₃(PO₄)₂ that is an insoluble salt. The reaction is:

2K₃PO₄ + 3 Fe(NO₃)₂ → Fe₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6NO₃⁻ + 6K⁺

The ionic equation is:

6K⁺ + 2PO₄³⁻ + 3Fe²⁺ + 6NO₃⁻→ Fe₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6NO₃⁻ + 6K⁺

Subtracting the K⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions that are not participating in the reaction, the net ionic equation is:

Nucleotide bases bonded to a sugar phosphate backbone make up _____.

Alchen [17]

Nucleotide bases bonded to a sugar phosphate backbone make up nucleic acids such as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (<span>ribonucleic acid)</span>. Nucleotides have three major parts: sugars, phosphates, and a nitrogenous base. DNA uses four nitrogenous bases: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. RNA uses the same bases except for Thymine, which is replaced by Uracil.

You are given an unknown gaseous binary compound (that is, a compound consisting of two different elements). when 10.0 g of the

Luda [366]

Answer is: a possible identity for the unknown compound is C₃H₈.

m(binary compound) = 10.0 g.

m(H₂O) = 16.3 g; mass of water.

M(O₂) = 32 g/mol; molar mass of oxygen.

M(binary compound) = 1.38 · 32 g/mol.

M(binary compound) = 44.16 g/mol.

n(binary compound) = 10 g ÷ 44.16 g/mol.

n(binary compound) = 0.225 mol; amount of substance.
