Answer: The capillary action of water can be defined as the property of water by which it travels through the tube in upward direction which is opposite the gravity.

Explanation: This property of water is due to adhesion, cohesion and surface tension of water which allows it to climb through the tube. This property allows the plants to uptake water from the soil.

The water also moves against the gravity in the body of plants and animals with the help of capillary action.

Answer:

Look Below

Explanation:

Capillary action is adhesion of water. In plants, capillary action allows water to move from the roots to leaves. In animals, capillary action plays a role in respiration where oxygen-poor blood oxygenates in the capillaries.

the chloride of a metal M contains 47.25% of metal 1.0 gram of metal would be displaced from a compound by 0.88 gram of another
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The equivalent weight of M is approximately 31.8 g

The equivalent weight of N is approximately 27.98 g

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The percentage of the the metal M in in the chloride = 47.25%

Where by the chemical formula for the metal chloride is MClₓ, we have;

47.25% of the mass of MClₓ = Mass of M = W

Therefore, we have;

\dfrac{0.4725}{W} = \dfrac{1}{W + 35.5 \cdot x}

0.4725 × (W +  35.5·x) = W

0.4725·W + 0.4725×35.5×x = W

W - 0.4725·W  = 16.77·x

0.5275·W = 16.77·x

W/x = 16.77/0.5275 = 31.799 = The equivalent weight of M

The equivalent weight of M = 31.799 ≈ 31.8 g

Given that 1 gram of M is displaced by 0.88 gram of N, then the equivalent weight of N that will displace 31.799 = 0.88 × 31.799 ≈ 27.98 g

The equivalent weight of N = 27.98 g.

Calculate the molar mass of a gas
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

MOLAR MASS = 32 g/mol

Explanation:

Condition of standard temperature and pressure(STP) are as follow:

Temperature = 273 K

Pressure = 1 atm (or 100000 Pa)

Here atm is atmosphere and Pa is Pascal

STP conditions arte used for measuring gas density and volume using Ideal Gas Law.Here 1 mole of ideal gas occupies 22.4 L of volume.

According toi Ideal Gas Equation :

PV = nRT

where P = pressure, n= number of moles, V = volume ,R= Ideal Gas Constant and T= temperature

n=\frac{PV}{RT}

From question:

V=280 ml = 0.28 L

P = 1 atm

R=0.08205 L atm/K mol

T=273 K

Putting values in above formula :

n=\frac{1\times .280}{0.08205\times 273}

n = 0.0125 moles

Now n=\frac{given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}

Molar\ mass=\frac{given\ mass}{n}

given mass = 0.4 g (given)

Molar\ mass=\frac{0.4}{0.0125}

On solving we get:

Molar mass = 32 g/mol
