Particles of Substance X are dispersed in water to form a colloid. Which describes the electrical charges on the particles of Su

bstance X?
All the particles carry the same charge, which could be either positive or negative.

Each particle carries a charge that is slightly different from the other particles.

Half of the particles carry a positive charge; the other half carry a negative charge.

All the particles are uncharged, or electrically neutral.

The correct answer is option A.

All the particles carry the same charge, which could be either positive or negative.

All the particles of substance X will have same charge on its surface, which is balanced by the oppositely charged ions in the water.

For example, soap solution (sodium palmitate) dissociates into ions:

C₁₅H₁₁COONa --> C₁₅H₁₁COO⁻ + Na⁺

The cations (Na⁺) passes into the water while the anions (C₁₅H₁₁COO⁻) form aggregates or colloids.

Living organisms use atoms from sugar molecules combined with other elements to form lipids and nucleic acids. Lipids are hydrophobic organic compounds composed of carbon and a high ratio of hydrogen to oxygen. Nucleic acids are an acidic polymer of nucleotides found or produced in the cell nucleus.

Agustina was standing on the edge of a cliff of unknown height holding a bowling ball. She wanted to find the height of the clif
nlexa [21]

Answer:

433 m

Explanation:

Since the fall represents motion under gravity, we use the equation

s = ut - 1/2gt² where s = height of cliff or distance bowling ball falls through, u = initial velocity of bowling ball = 0 m/s(since it starts from rest), t = time = 9.4 s and g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s².

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

s = 0 m/s × 9.4 s - 1/2 × 9.8 m/s² × (9.4 s)²

s = 0 m - 1/2 × -9.8 m/s² × 88.36 s²

s = 1/2(865.928 m)

s = 432.964

s ≅ 433 m
