Answer:
A piece of unknown solid substance weighs 437.2 g, and requires 8460 J to increase its temperature from 19.3 °C to 68.9 °C.
What is the specific heat of the substance?
If it is one of the substances found in Table 8.1.1, what is its likely identity?
Answer:
CH3CH3CH2CH3
Explanation:
Octane is a non-polar compound. It is a hydrocarbon with 8-carbon length along its chain.
It belongs to a special group of hydrocarbons called alkanes.
What makes a substance soluble in another?
It is a common phrase that "like dissolves like". This is applicable to solubility of substances in another.
- A polar solvent will freely and easily dissolve a polar solute. For example, water and salt.
- A non-polar solvent will also dissolve a non-polar solute. This case, hydrocarbons will dissolve themselves.
- The first option is a butane, a 4-carbon length hydrocarbon which will be dissolved in octane.
- Both compounds are non-polar.
Answer:
Gregor Mendel, through his work on pea plants, discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance. He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits.
Through his careful breeding of garden peas, Gregor Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity and laid the mathematical foundation of the science of genetics.

ANSWER
The correct answer is A
EXPLANATION
Plants manufacture their on food by the process of photosynthesis. During this process, plants trap radiant energy from the sun by the help of chlorophyll in the leaves.
Radiant energy with other raw materials such as water, carbon dioxide and mineral salts is converted to food (in the form of starch) which contains chemical energy.
