Lthough much of the explanation for why certain substances mix and form solutions and why others do not is beyond the scope of this class, we can get a glimpse at why solutions form by taking a look at the process by which ethanol, C2H5OH, dissolves in water. Ethanol is actually miscible in water, which means that the two liquids can be mixed in any proportion without any limit to their solubility. Much of what we now know about the tendency of particles to become more dispersed can be used to understand this kind of change as well.
Picture a layer of ethanol being carefully added to the top of some water (Figure below). Because the particles of a liquid are moving constantly, some of the ethanol particles at the boundary between the two liquids will immediately move into the water, and some of the water molecules will move into the ethanol. In this process, water-water and ethanol-ethanol attractions are broken and ethanol-water attractions are formed. Because both the ethanol and the water are molecular substances with O−H bonds, the attractions broken between water molecules and the attractions broken between ethanol molecules are hydrogen bonds. The attractions that form between the ethanol and water molecules are also hydrogen bonds (Figure below). There you go

What are the 5 steps in the lytic cycle of a virus reproduction
agasfer [191]
<span>The lytic cycle is a six-stage cycle. In the first stage, called "penetration", the virus injects its own nucleic acid into ahost cell. In some viruses this genetic material is circularand mimics a bacterial plasmid. The virus hijacks the cell's replication and translation mechanisms, using them to make more viruses.</span>

How much energy, in joules, is released when 17 kilograms of granite is cooled from 45°C to 21°C?
gregori [183]
Initially you need to find the specific heat of the granite. It is found in tables.

With that data, you can apply the equation: Q = m * C * ΔT


Where:

 m = 17  kg

ΔT = 45°C - 21°C = 24 °C

And, from a table the specific heat, C, of granite is 790 J/kg°C

Therefore, you get: 17 kg * 790 J/kg°C * (24°C) = 332,320

This answer is pretty close to the option A, and you can conclude that the difference is due a small difference in the specific heat used.

Answer: option A.
