Water and minerals move up the xylem because of a vacuum created by _____.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Galina-37 [17]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The right answer is B) evaporation

Explanation:

Transpiration occurs at the leaf surface which is the loss of water due to the evaporation. This phenomenon works as trigger of water and mineral movement above to the xylem. Due to the evaporation of water at the leaf, negative pressure is created at the surface of leaf. Tension is produced which results in the pull of water from roots up to the xylem vessels.

Compound X has a molar mass of 316.25 g*mol^-1 and the following composition:
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Compound X has a molar mass of 316.25 g*mol^-1 and the following composition:

element & mass %

phosphorus & 39.18%

sulfur & 60.82%

Write the molecular formula of X.

Explanation:

The given molecule of phosphorus and sulfur has molar mass --- 316.25 g.

Empirical formula calculation:                      

element:              phosphorus                       sulfur

co9mposition:      39.185%                            60.82%

divide with

atomic mass:          39.185/31.0 g/mol           60.82/32.0g/mol

                              =1.26mol                           1.90mol

smallest mole ratio:   1.26mol/1.26mol =1      1.90mol/1.26 mol =1.50

multiply with 2:          2                                         3

Hence, the empirical formula is:

P2S3.

Mass of empirical formula is:

158.0g/mol

Given, molecule has molar mass --- 316.25 g/mol

Hence, the ratio is:

316.25g/mol/158.0 =2

Hence, the molecular formula of the compound is :

2 x (P2S3)

=P_4S_6

How many grams of Ca(NO3)2 are needed to make 25.0 g of a 15.0% Ca(NO3)2(aq)?
yarga [219]

Answer:

3.75 g.

Explanation:

<em>mass percent is the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the solution multiplied by 100.</em>

<em />

<em>mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100.</em>

<em></em>

mass of calcium nitrite = ??? g,

mass of the solution = 25.0 g.

∴ mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100

<em></em>

<em>∴ mass of solute (calcium nitrite) = (mass %)(mass of solution)/100</em> = (15.0 %)(25.0 g)/100 = <em>3.75 g.</em>

Which type of bond is found between atoms of solid cobalt?
Vsevolod [243]
The answer is (3) metallic. Cobalt is a transition metal, so it can't be covalent bonds, which bond non-metals, therefore eliminating choice 1 and 2. Ionic bonds are between metals and non metals, but solid cobalt does not have a non metal, eliminating choice 4 as well. Metallic bonds are bonds between metals, therefore the answer is (3) metallic.
