Polarity

Cohesion

<u>Explanation:</u>

One molecule of water joins with four other water molecule by hydrogen bonds. In a water molecule, one end has positive charge and the other end has negative charge. This difference in charge creates polarity in the molecule.

The cohesion of water molecules helps transport water from roots to the leaves in plants. Plants absorb water from the soil by osmosis. They absorb mineral ions by active transport, against the concentration gradient. Root hair cells are adapted for taking up water and mineral ions by having a large surface area to increase the rate of absorption.

Answer: Cohesion

Explanation:

Cohesion is a measure of how well molecules stick to each other. Water molecules is a typical example of Cohesion.

Hydrogen bonds are formed between each water molecule, enabling them stick to each other strongly. Due to this sticky nature of water molecules, they form droplets on surfaces (e.g dew drops) and a dome like-shape when filling a container just before it overflows.

Cohesion also produces Surface Tension; a phenomenon that makes it possible for light objects like needle to float when placed gently and insects to walk on water.

Also aided by capillary action (the movement of a liquid across the surface of a solid caused by adhesion between the two), Cohesion makes it possible for water to be taken as single huge molecule from Xylem in the roots of plant to its leaves.

Which of the following apply to gases. Select all that apply.
melamori03 [73]

Explanation:

In gases the molecules are held together by weak Vander waal forces. Due to this they have more kinetic energy and they tend to diffuse at a faster rate because of more number of collisions between the molecules.

That is why, its molecules readily spread into the atmosphere as compared to the molecules of solids and liquids. Also, when molecules of a gas collide with the walls of a container then they tend to come back at their initial position for a fraction of second or more.

Hence, gas collisions are elastic in nature.

According to Graham's law, rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of molar mass of the gas. Hence, more is the molecular weight of gas less likely it is able to diffuse into the surroundings.

       \text{Rate of diffusion} \propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}

Thus, we can conclude that following apply to gases.

  • Gas collisions are elastic.
  • Gases mix faster than solids or liquids.
  • Gases with larger molecular weights diffuse slower than gases with lower molecular weights.

If one molecule of glucose (C6H120) reacts completely with three molecules of oxygen (O2), what is the TOTAL number of atoms
nalin [4]

Answer : The total number of atoms in the product are, 36 atoms.

Explanation :

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

When 1 molecule of glucose reacts completely with 3 molecules of oxygen then it react to give 6 molecules of carbon dioxide and 6 molecules of water.

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2\rightarrow 6CO_2+6H_2O

There are 3 atoms in carbon dioxide and 3 atoms in water.

Total number of atoms in the product = 6(3) + 6(3) = 36 atoms

Thus, the total number of atoms in the product are, 36 atoms.

wel

Answer:

Well, it could be B or D but I would say B.

Explanation:

The structure of an organelle is usually fit to its function so it is most likely B.

Hope this helps!

What causes gas pressure
kaheart [24]

The kinetic energy causes the air molecules to move faster and they impact the container walls more frequently and with more force. The kinetic energy of the gas molecules increases, so collisions with the walls of the container are now more forceful than they were before. As a result, the pressure of the gas doubles.
