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.

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.

What is the mass of the object?
galben [10]

Answer:

37.3

263.5

Explanation:

The scale measures hundreds of units, tens of units, units, and parts of units (1 decimal place.

Scale 1

Hundreds 0 * 100 = 0

Tens: 3 * 10 = 30

Units: 7 * 1 = 7

1/10 unit = 3* 0.1 = 0.3

Total 30 + 7 + 0.3 = 37.3

Scale 2

Hundreds 2 * 100 = 200

Tens: 6 * 10 = 60

Units: 3 * 1 = 3

1/10 unit = 5* 0.1 = 0.5

Total = 200 + 60 + 3 + 0.5 = 263.5

Answer:

0.17325 moles per liter per second

Explanation:

For a first order reaction;

in[A] = in[A]o - kt

Where;

[A]= concentration at time t

[A]o = initial concentration

k= rate constant

t= time taken

ln0.5 =ln1 - 2k

2k = ln1 - ln0.5

k= ln1 - ln0.5/2

k= 0 -(0.693)/2

k= 0.693/2

k= 0.3465 s-1

Rate of reaction = k[A]

Rate = 0.3465 s-1 × 0.50 mol/L

Rate = 0.17325 moles per liter per second
