What force works against gravity as water infiltrates the soil and moves

Answer:

Capillary action

Explanation:

love history [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Answer is option B . This is because water is said to be highly permeable to the underground soil and thus nourishes it , whereas capillary action will make the water flow upward sllowly , but the water is going underground so it is permeability. Also soil is porous too , but that's only if the water is in the soil , here the water is caused to go underground by some force , so porosity isnt the right option

Is burning of coal a reversible change???<br> If yes how?
koban [17]
I don't think so. No way that I know anyway. It it could be done then the need for more coal to be mined would have stopped hundreds of years ago. Once coal is burned, it forms water and carbon dioxide (essentially) with some sulfur oxides. 

How do you put that back together again. It's a little like humpty dumpty.

grigory [225]

<u>Answer:</u> C) be hypertonic to Tank B.

<u>Explanation: </u>

<u> The ability of an extracellular solution to move water in or out of a cell by osmosis</u> is known as its tonicity. Additionally, the tonicity of a solution is related to its osmolarity, which is the <u>total concentration of all the solutes in the solution. </u>

Three terms (hypothonic, isotonic and hypertonic) are used <u>to compare the osmolarity of a solution with respect to the osmolarity of the liquid that is found after the membrane</u>.  When we use these terms, we only take into account solutes that can not cross the membrane, which in this case are minerals.

  1. If the liquid in tank A has a lower osmolarity (<u>lower concentration of solute</u>) than the liquid in tank B, the liquid in tank A would be hypotonic with respect to the latter.
  2. If the liquid in tank A has a greater osmolarity (<u>higher concentration of solute</u>) than the liquid in tank B, the liquid in tank A would be hypertonic with respect to the latter.
  3. If the liquid in tank A has the same osmolarity (<u>equal concentration of solute</u>) as the liquid in tank B, the liquid in tank A would be isotonic with respect to the latter.

In the case of the problem, option A is impossible because the minerals can not cross the membrane, since it is permeable to water only. There is no way that the concentration of minerals decreases in tank A, so <u>the solution in this tank can not be hypotonic with respect to the one in Tank B. </u>

Equally, both solutions can not be isotonic and neither we can say that the solution in tank A has more minerals that the one in tank B because the liquid present in tank B is purified water that should not have minerals. Therefore, <u>options B and D are also not correct.</u>

Finally, the correct option is C, since in the purification procedure the water is extracted from the solution in tank A to obtain a greater quantity of purified water in tank B. In this way, the solution in Tank A would be hypertonic to Tank B.

Which choice best describes what would happen if a cube with a density of 0.2 g/mL were placed in a container of water?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

A. It would float with about 80% of the cube below the surface of the water and 20% above the surface.

Explanation:

The choice that best describes what happens to cube of the given density value is that it would float with about 80% of the cube would be below the surface of the water and 20% above the surface.

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance. The more mass a body has relative to volume, the great it's density. In short, density is directly proportional to mass and inversely related to volume.

The density of water is 1g/mL

If the density of the cube were to be the same with that of water, the substance will just mix up with water .

Here the density is less than that of water.

The density is 0.2g/mL

Therefore, 20% will stay afloat and 80% will be below the surface of the water.
