Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A force exerted due to collision or pushing an object is known as pressure. A pressure on an object can be exerted by external factors or internal molecules.

For example, when atoms of a gas are colliding on the walls of a container then pressure is caused by them.

Stress is defined as the external force applied over per unit area of an object.

Gravity is defined as the force which tends to pull an object towards the center of the Earth.

Friction is defined as the force that resists the motion of an object when its surface comes in contact with the ground or it slides.

Thus, we can conclude that the effect of atoms colliding with the walls of a container is called pressure.

2. How are these nutrients used by your body?

REY [17]

The nutrients that the body breaks down into basic units are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. From carbohydrates comes glucose, your body's -- especially the brain's -- primary form of fuel; from fats we get glycerol and fatty acids, many of which are essential ingredients in hormones and the protective sheath in our brain that covers communicating neurons; and from proteins we get amino acids, which are the building blocks to lots of structures, including our blood, muscle, skin, organs, antibodies, hair, and fingernails.

Each of these nutrients travels down a different pathway, but all can eventually fuel the body's production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is essentially our bodies' ultimate energy currency.

if you are told to get 100 mL of stock solution to use to prepare smaller size sample for an experiment, which piece of glasswar

fgiga [73]

Answer:

A beaker

Step-by-step explanation:

Specifically, I would use a 250 mL graduated beaker.

A beaker is appropriate to measure 100 mL of stock solution, because it's easy to pour into itscwide mouth from a large stock bottle.

You don't need precisely 100 mL solution.

If the beaker is graduated, you can easily measure 100 mL of the stock solution.

Even if it isn't graduated, 100 mL is just under half the volume of the beaker, and that should be good enough for your purposes (you will be using more precise measuring tools during the experiment).

Calculate the molality and van’t Hoff factor (i) for the following aqueous solutions:

MissTica

The van 't Hoff factor is the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass. For most non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is essentially 1.

<h3>What is the value of Van t Hoff factor?</h3>

For most non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the Van 't Hoff factor is essentially $ 1 $ . For most ionic compounds dissolved in water, the Van 't Hoff factor is equal to the number of discrete ions in a formula unit of the substance.

<h3>Which has highest Van t Hoff factor?</h3>

The Van't Hoff factor will be highest for

A. Sodium chloride.

B. Magnesium chloride.

C. Sodium phosphate.

D. Urea.

The radius of a vanadium atom is 130 pm. How many vanadium atoms would have to be laid side by side to span a distance of 1.30 m

monitta

Answer:

5 000 000 (5 million atoms)

Explanation:

Let us assume that a vanadium atom has a spherical shape.

diameter of a sphere = 2 x radius of the sphere

Thus,

Radius of a vanadium atom = 130 pm

= 130 x $10^{-12}$ m

The diameter of a vanadium atom = 2 x radius

= 2 x 130 x $10^{-12}$

= 260 x $10^{-12}$ m

Given a distance of 1.30 mm = 1.30 x $10^{-3}$ m,

The number of vanadium atoms required to span the distance = $\frac{1.3*10^{-3} }{260*10^{-12} }$

= 5000000

Therefore, the number of vanadium atom that would span a distance of 1.30 mm is 5 million.

Solid calcium carbonate decomposes to produce solid calcium oxide and carbon dioxide gas. Express your answer as a chemical equa

Gwar [14]

Answer:

$CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, when solid calcium carbonate, CaCO3 (s), is decomposed by the action of thermal energy (heat), solid calcium oxide, CaO (s) and carbon dioxide gas, CO2 (g) are yielded via the following reaction:

$CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2$

However, since calcium carbonate is solid as well as calcium oxide and carbon dioxide is given off as a gas, we write:

$CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)$

Which also balanced.

Best regards!
