Water is different from other substances

Chemistry

Gnoma [55]3 years ago

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that density is the amount of mass divided by volume.

When water is present in solid state that is, in the form of ice then its molecules arrange themselves in a rigid tetrahedral structure.

Due to this there will cage like spaces between the molecules of ice during the bonding. As a result, they occupy more volume and it is known that density is inversely proportional to volume.

Hence, ice has low density as compared to liquid state of water.

When water is present in liquid state, then its molecules are closer to each other and they are able to slide past each other. Hence, space between them is less therefore, lesser will be its volume.

As a result, liquid state of water will have more density.

Thus, we can conclude that water is different from other substances  because it is less dense as a solid than liquid.

It's more dense as a liquid than as a solid. That's why ice can float in water. The answer is B.

C. Magma from venus mantle erupted as lava.

Explanation:

A volcano is a land form which results from the eruption of molten rocks (lava) on the surface. Volcanic rocks are a special type of igneous rock that forms when molten rock cools and solidifies on the surface.

For a planet like Venus which is presently not active and little to no movement occurs within the plates, the volcanisim must have occurred when the planet was relatively young and it must have been millions of years ago.

It is widely believed that Venus was geologically active in times past. Mantle generated lava must have solidified on the surface in times past to have formed the volcano.

Evaluating other options:

Impact of space objects on Venus would lead to the formation of a crater which is a depression on the surface. The rock would be mostly metamorphic.

If water was ever present in Venus, they would have produced sedimentary rocks instead. The erosive power of water is not high enough to cut through the crust. Also, water would not aid the formation of volcanoes.

Heat is not enough to from volcanoes. Other factors are also in play.

german
One half of the distance between the nuclei of two atoms bonded together by a single bond is known as the covalent bond radius. When a covalent bond is present between atoms, this radius can be determined. It is the radius of the two atoms because they are equally attracted.

What are the three end products of the oxidation-reduction reactions involved in metabolism?
san4es73 [151]
Answer: The three end products of the oxidation-reduction reactions involved in metabolism are WATER, CARBON DIOXIDE and ATP.

Metabolism refers to the sum of all chemical reactions occurring in the body. It includes both catabolism and anabolism. Every metabolic reaction is characterized by oxidation-reduction reactions. The metabolic pathways include respiration, photosynthesis, etc. In all these reactions water is produced. In respiration CO2 is also a product. In general. in every metabolic reaction either an organic molecule is broken or synthesized producing CO2, water and energy.
