Answer:

Molarity is a unit that measures how much moles of solute dissolved in a liter of solvent. Molarity expressed using capital M while molarity, a different unit, expressed using lower case m.

We want to make 0.005 M solution which means we need 0.005 moles of KmnO4 per liter of water. First, we have to calculate how many grams of KMnO4 we need for the solution.

We want to make 250ml solution, so the number of moles of KMnO4 we need will be: 0.005 mol/liter *(250 ml * 1liter/1000ml)= 0.005 mol/liter * 1/4 liter = 0.00125 moles

The molecular mass of KMnO4 is 158g/mol, so the mass of KMnO4 we need will be: 0.00125 moles * 158g/mol= 0.1975 grams

We know that we need 0.1975 g of KMnO4, now we weigh them and put it inside a dish. After that, we prepare Erlenmeyer or a volumetric flask filled with water half of the volume needed(125ml). Pour the weighted solute into the flask, stir until all solute dissolved.

Then we add water to the container slowly until its volume reaches the 250ml mark.

Why is it important to have the correct bond angles of the different atoms and the shape of the molecule? (20 points NEED ANSWER

hjlf

It is important to have the correct bond angles of the different atoms and the shape of the molecule due to following reasons;

Among other properties the polarity of compounds mainly depend upon the shape and bond angles of that particular compound. For example, considering the molecule of water, we already know that it is a polar molecule with partially positive hydrogen atoms and partially negative oxygen atoms and acts as universal solvent. The bond angle in water is about 104.5° with a Bent geometry. Unlike carbon dioxide (CO₂) which has Linear structure with bond angle 180° and is non-polar in nature therefore, the bent geometry in water is responsible for the polarity.

Other properties which can also be predicted by predicting the bond angles along with molecular geometries are;

i) Magnetism

ii) Phase of matter

iii) Color

iv) Reactivity

v) Biological activities e.t.c

Serhud [2]

Answer:

The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle or the hydrological cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. The mass of water on Earth remains fairly constant over time but the partitioning of the water into the major reservoirs of ice, fresh water, saline water and atmospheric water is variable depending on a wide range of climatic variables. The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, and subsurface flow. In doing so, the water goes through different forms: liquid, solid (ice) and vapor. Hope this helps, mark as brainliest please!

Function of leaf in points

klasskru [66]

Explanation:

The main function of a leaf is to produce food for the plant by photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, the substance that gives plants their characteristic green colour, absorbs light energy.

Photosynthesis.

Transpiration.

Guttation.
Storage.

Defense.

I will be describing what each of these do to the plant.

Photosynthesis: Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities.
Transpiration: Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.
Guttation: Guttation is the exudation of drops of xylem sap on the tips or edges of leaves of some vascular plants, such as grasses, and a number of fungi. Guttation is not to be confused with dew, which condenses from the atmosphere onto the plant surface. Guttation generally happens during the night time.
Storage: A storage organ is a part of a plant specifically modified for storage of energy (generally in the form of carbohydrates) or water. Storage organs often grow underground, where they are better protected from attack by herbivores.
Defense: The first line of defense in plants is an intact and impenetrable barrier composed of bark and a waxy cuticle. Both protect plants against herbivores. Other adaptations against herbivores include hard shells, thorns (modified branches), and spines (modified leaves).

Hope this helps!

Answer:

$y = 5cos(\frac{2\pi }{6} x)$

Explanation:

You can put that equation into a program like desmos on your browser and take a screenshot or use windows snippet tool.

Equation of a Wave: y = Acos(((2*pi)/B)x)

$y = Acos(\frac{2\pi }{B} x)$

A = Amplitude
