Answer:

1) All gases consist of large amount and numbers of tiny particles that are far apart from each other and also relative to their size.

2) The collisions between gas particles and gas particles against container walls is refer to as elastic collision.

3) All gas particles are in a continuous random and rapid motion. They possess kinetic energy which is energy of motion.

4) There are no attractive force between gas particles.

5) The temperature of a gas depends on the average kinetic energy of the gas particle.

Naddik [55]

Answer:

Mitochondria are abundantly present in mammalian cells. Their fraction varies from tissue to tissue, ranging from <1% (volume) in white blood cells to 35% in heart muscle cells. However, mitochondria should not be thought of as single entities, but rather a dynamic network that continuously undergoes fission and fusion processes. In skeletal muscle, mitochondria exist as a reticular membrane network. The subsarcolemmal (SS) and intermyofibrillar (IMF) mitochondria are located in distinct subcellular regions, and they possess subtle differences in biochemical and functional properties that are characterized by their anatomical locations. SS mitochondria lie directly beneath the sarcolemmal membrane and the IMF mitochondria are located in close contact with the myofibril. Their different properties are likely to influence their capacity for adaptation. SS mitochondria account for 10-15% of the mitochondrial volume and this population has been shown to be more susceptible to adaptation than the IMF mitochondria. However, the IMF mitochondria were found to have higher rates of protein synthesises, enzyme activities and respiration (1).

How do scientists perform an artificial transmutation

Ilya [14]

Scientists can bombard atomic nuclei with high-energy particles such as protons, neutrons, or alpha particles. Scientists synthesize a transuranium element by the artificial transmutation of a lighter element. ... It involves nuclear change, not chemical change. NOTE nuclear decay is a transmutation that happens naturally.

Are these atoms isotopes of each other or different elements?<br>

topjm [15]

This is not easy. For many of the chemical elements there are several known isotopes. Isotopes are atoms with different atomic masses which have the same atomic number. The atoms of different isotopes are atoms of the same chemical element; they differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.

The specific heat of gold is 0.126 J/gºC. How much energy is released

Schach [20]

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of gold (S)

= 0.126 J /kg°C

mass (m) = 350 g = 0.35 kg

difference in temperature (dt)

= 88.5°C - 24.6°C

= 63.9° C

Now

Energy released (Q)

= m*s*dt

= 0.35 * 0.126 * 63.9

= 2.81799 Joule

Hope it will help :)

What amount of a nonelectrolytic solute should be dissolved in 28.9 moles of benzene (C₆H₆) at 25°C to change the vapor pressure

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

The amount of a nonelectrolytic solute that has to be dissolved in 28.9 moles to change the vapor pressure of benzene by 17.9 is 6.31 moles.

Explanation:

Let's see how to solve this, step by step applying Raoult's Law (Colligative property).

Pressure solution = χsolvent . Pressure solvent

You have to consider that Pressure in solution is, Pressure Pure - Pressure in Solution (Solute+Solvent). The statement says, that pressure has fallen 17.9%, so let's find out that

100% ....... 94.2 Torr

17.9 % ...... x

16.86 Torr (after the Rule of 3) - This is the value of decline.

So, 94.2Torr - 16.86 Torr = 77.34 Torr

Now the formula

77.34 Torr = 94.2 Torr . X (where x is molar fraction)

x = moles of benzene / moles of benzene + moles of nonelectrolytic solute

77.34 Torr / 94.2 Torr = X

0.821 = moles of benzene / moles of benzene + moles of nonelectrolytic solute

0.821 = 28.9 moles / 28.9 moles + nonelectrolytic

0.821 (28.9 moles + nonelectrolytic) = 28.9 moles

23.72 moles + 0.821 nonelectrolytic = 28.9 moles

0.821 nonelectrolytic = 28.9 moles - 23.72 moles

0.821 nonelectrolytic = 5.18 moles

nonelectrolytic moles = 5.18 / 0.821

nonelectrolytic moles = 6.31
