4% starch solution will decrease in volume.


This is because the less starch concentration, the more water molecules exists. Since 4% is less than 10%, so the 4% will contain more water. Water molecules tend to flow from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential through the semi permeable membrane in osmosis. Therefore, since the 4% contains more water, the water there will flow away from the 4% and to the 10% one in order to reach equilibrium.

A 45-g aluminium spoon(specific heat 0.80 / J/gdegree Celsius) at 24 degree celsius is placed in 180 ml(180 grams) of coffee at
Vlad [161]

Explanation:

a) The amount of heat released by coffee will be absorbed by aluminium spoon.

Thus, heat_{absorbed}=heat_{released}

To calculate the amount of heat released or absorbed, we use the equation:  

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

Also,

m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]    ..........(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

m_1 = mass of aluminium = 45 g

m_2 = mass of coffee = 180 g

T_{final} = final temperature = ?

T_1 = temperature of aluminium = 24^oC

T_2 = temperature of coffee = 85^oC

c_1 = specific heat of aluminium = 0.80J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of coffee= 4.186 J/g^oC

Putting all the values in equation 1, we get:

45 g\times 0.80J/g^oC\times (T_{final}-24^oC)=-[180 g\times 4.186J/g^oC\times (T_{final}-83^oC)]

T_{final}=80.30^oC

80.30 °C is the final temperature.

b) Energy flows from higher temperature to lower temperature.Whenever two bodies with different energies and temperature come in contact. And the resulting temperature of both bodies will less then the body with high temperature and will be more then the body with lower temperature.

So, is our final temperature of both aluminium and coffee that is 80°C less than initial temperature of coffee and more than the initial temperature of the aluminum.

Why less electro negative elements are taken as central atom​
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The least electronegative elements in the center of lewis structures because an atom in the central position shares more of its electrons than does a terminal atom. Atoms with higher electronegative are generally more reluctant to share their electrons.

Why is gunshot residue important for a forensic scientist? What are the potential complications with this type of evidence?
erik [133]
A residue from a gunshot is most likely gun powder, which tells you what kind of bullet was shot and the type of gun that was used to shoot the target/victim/person. Some complications may be that there is more than one gun or weapon which uses that residue, so it may be hard to pinpoint it and the bullet can't really tell you who it is unless there's DNA on the bullet, and the chemicals of the bullet may even destroy evidence.
