Explanation:

(Ques- A) Why does the first method for determining volume work only for a regular-shaped object?

(Ans- A) Because the method requires precise dimensions of objects for result, which is not possible for irregular shaped objects.

(Ques - B) Will the second method for determining volume work for any object or just an odd-shaped one? Why?

(Ans-B) It will work for both regular and irregular shaped objects since both displace equal volumes of water.

(Ques - C) Is one method of measurement more accurate than the other? Why or why not?

(Ans-C) Both are pretty accurate, with some experimental errors which may creep in accidentally.

(Ques- D) Would the displacement method of measurement work for a cube of sugar? What about a cork? Why?

(Ans - D) No, the method would not work because sugar being soluble, will dissolve in water.

No, the method would not work because sugar being soluble, will dissolve in water. Cork is less dense than water so floats on it, with only part of it submerged in water, resulting in displacement of less volume of water than actual volume of Cork.

(Ques-E) What did you find out from this investigation? Be thoughtful in your answer.

(Ans- E) I learnt about determining volume of different objects from this investigation. (Sorry, I know its not a very thoughtful answer)

2. When heated above 500 ºC, potassium nitrate decomposes according to the equation below. 4KNO3 2K2O + 2N2 + 5O2A.If oxygen is

AysviL [449]

Answer:

(a) The rate of formation of K2O is 0.12 M/s.

The rate of formation of N2 is also 0.12 M/s

(b) The rate of decomposition of KNO3 is 0.24 M/s

Explanation:

(a) From the equation of reaction, the mole ratio of K2O to O2 is 2:5.

Rate of formation of O2 is 0.3 M/s

Therefore, rate of formation of K2O = (2×0.3/5) = 0.12 M/s

Also from the equation of reaction, mole ratio of N2 to O2 is 2:5.

Rate of formation of N2 = (2×0.3/5) = 0.12 M/s

(b) From the equation of reaction, mole ratio of KNO3 to O2 is 4:5.

Therefore, rate of decomposition of KNO3 = (4×0.3/5) = 0.24 M/s

How many formula units are contained in 23.5g of Sb2S3

padilas [110]

To determine the formula units of the given compound, we need to convert from grams to moles first then convert it to formula units by using the Avogadro's number. We do as follows:

23.5 g Sb2S3 ( 1 mol / 339.7 g ) ( 6.022 x 10^23 formula units / mol ) = 4.17x10^22 formula units Sb2S3

What is the function of the cell membrain

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is a double layer of lipids and proteins that surrounds a cell and separates the cytoplasm (the contents of the cell) from its surrounding environment. It is selectively permeable, which means that it only lets certain molecules enter and exit.

If a plant cell is placed in a solution and the cell shrivels up, what type of solution was it placed in? How do you know?

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The cell is in a Hypotonic solution. When a cell is in a Hypotonic solution the lower osmotic pressure causing water to move across the pressure gradient into the solution causing the cell to shrivel.
