Answer:

The answer to your question is: sugar melting point: 186°C

Explanation:

I think that Donna did an excellent suggestion. If we heat a substance till it melts, we are obtaining the melting point. This point is the temperature at which a solid changes from solid to liquid and is specific for every substance. That means that the melting point of sugar is different from the melting point of salt, etc. So, they could distinguish among the substance they have the one that is sugar.

For example:            sugar                  table salt      

Melting point            186°C                    801°C

Why is basalt a sign that the moon once had magma at its surface<br>14 points
lawyer [7]

The basalt is a sign that the Moon once had magma at its surface because the basalt is a type of rock that forms directly from the cooling off of the magma. The basalt is part of the igneous type of rocks, which are the type of rocks that form from the cooling of the magma, be it on the surface or inside the ground, so having basalt on the Moon is a sure sign that our natural satellite once had magma on it.

Empirical formula of at least four binary ionic zn2+,pb4+,br-,s2-
Tasya [4]

Four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from each of these ions are;

  • Zn^2+ - ZnCl2, ZnI2, ZnBr2, ZnF2
  • Pb^4+ - PbF4, PbCl4, PbBr4, PbI4
  • Br^- - MgBr2, NaBr, CaBr2, KBr
  • S^2- - CaS, MgS, Na2S, K2S

<h3>What are binary ionic compounds?</h3>

Binary ionic compounds are those compounds that contain only two elements. The ionic compounds are those compounds that contain ions. The compounds are able to dissolve in water and they have high melting and boiling points.

Now, four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from each of these ions are;

  • Zn^2+ - ZnCl2, ZnI2, ZnBr2, ZnF2
  • Pb^4+ - PbF4, PbCl4, PbBr4, PbI4
  • Br^- - MgBr2, NaBr, CaBr2, KBr
  • S^2- - CaS, MgS, Na2S, K2S

While preforming an experiment involving colors and heat,Susan noticed that the black paper was warmer than the white piece of p
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Blackbody radiation

Explanation:

This phenomenon described by Susan is know as black body radiation. Different materials by color reacts to incident radiation on them in diverse manner.

  • A white surface will reflect all the wavelength of light incident on it.
  • A black surface will absorb all the wavelength of light on it.

This absorption causes the black surface to be hotter compared to other surfaces.

We identify nucleic acid strand orientation on the basis of important chemical functional groups. These are the _________ group
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

We identify nucleic acid strand orientation on the basis of important chemical functional groups. These are the <u>phosphate</u> group attached to the 5' carbon atom of the sugar portion of a nucleotide and the <u>hydroxyl</u> group attached to the <u>3'</u> carbon atom

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are polymers formed by a phosphate group, a sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA) and a nitrogenous base. In the chain, the phosphate groups are linked to the 5'-carbon and 3'-carbon of the ribose (or deoxyribose) and the nitrogenous base is linked to the 2-carbon. Based on this structure, the nucleic acid chain orientation is identified as the 5'-end (the free phosphate group linked to 5'-carbon of the sugar) and the 3'-end (the free hydroxyl group in the sugar in 3' position).
