What is a reliable source ?

1 answer:

5 0

A reliable source is a provider of information that is accurate, unbiased, and experienced. A magazine article is probably not a reliable source, while an encyclopedia is.

You should always check who the authors and verify their experience as it is often a good indication of whether or not something is reliable.

An inner and an outer membrane are characteristic of which organelle? (site 1)

AlexFokin [52]

The mitochondria are suspended in the jelly-like cytosol of the cell. They are oval-shaped and have two membranes: an outer one, surrounding the whole organelle, and an inner one, with many inward protrusions called cristae that increase surface area.

What is the effect of an increase in the average kinetic energy of an object

timofeeve [1]

The effect of an increase in the average kinetic energy of an object would be an increase in the temperature of the object. Temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules in the object. Hope this answers the question.

Calculate the volume in cm^3 of 325.0 dg of alcohol. Alcohol has a density of 0.785g/mL.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:
106 mL

Explanation:
In order to be able to answer this question, you must understand what the density of a substance tells you.
The density of a substance is nothing more than the mass of that substance that occupies one unit of volume.
In your case, the density of ethanol is given in Grams per milliliter, which means that one unit of volume will be
1 mL
.
So, ethanol has a density of
0.785 g mL
−
1
, which is equivalent to saying that if you take exactly
1 mL
of ethanol and weigh it, you will end up with a mass of
0.785 g
.
Now, you know that the volume you're using has a mass of
83.3 g
. Well, if you get
0.785 g
for every
1 mL
of ethanol, it follows that this much mass will correspond to a volume of
83.3
g ethanol
⋅
ethanol's density

Rounded to three sig figs, the answer will be

Pickles and lemons have a sour taste. what types of substances are in pickles to give them this sour taste

postnew [5]

The taste of Acid is Sour, that of Base is Bitter and salt is salty. So, Pickle and Lemons give sour taste due to presence of Acids. The sour taste of Lemon is due to presence of Citric Acid in it. While the sour taste of Pickle is due to presence of Vinegar (5% Acetic Acid Solution). Vinegar is mainly used to prevent the Pickle from Bacterial Attack.

See the questions on the sheet

Sergio [31]

Answer:

Question 1. Nonpolar covalent

Question 2. The fluorine atom is able to attract the shared electrons more strongly than a hydrogen atom

Question 3. True

Explanation:

Question 1

First of all, oxygen is a molecular compound, as it consists of non-metal atoms only (oxygen). This means we wouldn't expect to have any ionic bonding in it, as it doesn't contain a metal ion. A molecular compound has covalent bonding.

Whenever a diatomic molecule contains the same two atoms bonded by a bond, we expect to have a non-polar bond. This is due to the fact that the two atoms are identical and have the same values of electronegativity, meaning the difference in their electronegativity values is 0 and we have no net polarity within the bond.

For a bond between two different atoms, the molecule would be polar, as one atom would have a greater electronegativity (electron withdrawing force) compared to the other atom.

Question 2

Based on the principles of polarity, whenever we have a diatomic molecule, it's only non-polar when the two atoms are the same. In case of HF, we have two different atoms: hydrogen and fluorine. Since the two atoms are not identical, the molecule would be polar overall, as fluorine is more electronegative than hydrogen. Simply speaking, it means that fluorine attracts the shared electrons within the H-F bond stronger than hydrogen does. This makes a difference in electronegativity values between H and F non-zero and an overall polar bond.

Question 3

We may recall the Coulombic force equation. It states that the attraction force is directly proportional to the charge and inversely proportional to the square of a distance between the two charges.

A bond formed between two atoms or ions is the closest distance the two species can approach each other. Intermolecular forces, in contrast, are the forces that atoms experience within a distance greater than the bond length. We may conclude that for a greater distance, the Coulombic force is lower and, hence, the strength of intermolecular forces are significantly lower compared to covalent or ionic bonds.
