Answer:

Higher principal energy levels consist of orbitals which are larger in size than the orbitals from lower energy levels. The effect of the greater number of principal energy levels outweighs the increase in nuclear charge and so atomic radius increases down a group.

Irina18 [472]

Average speed is total distance divided by total time.

Total distance is 50 m + 150 m + 300 m = 500 m
Total time is 68 s + 35 s + 22 s = 125 s

Average speed is 500 m / 125 s = 4 m/s

Ethylene produced by fermentation has a specific gravity of 0.787 at 25 degree Celsius. What is the volume of 125g of ethanol at

WITCHER [35]

Answer: The volume of given amount of ethanol at this temperature is 159.44 mL

Explanation:

Specific gravity is given by the formula:

$\text{Specific gravity}=\frac{\text{Density of a substance}}{\text{Density of water}}$

We are given:

Density of water = 0.997 g/mL

Specific gravity of ethanol = 0.787

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.787=\frac{\text{Density of a substance}}{0.997g/mL}\\\\\text{Density of a substance}=(0.787\times 0.997g/mL)=0.784g/mL$

Density is defined as the ratio of mass and volume of a substance.

$\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$ ......(1)

Given values:

Mass of ethanol = 125 g

Density of ethanol = 0.784 g/mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Volume of ethanol}=\frac{125g}{0.784g/mL}=159.44mL$

Hence, the volume of given amount of ethanol at this temperature is 159.44 mL

The microscopes used today are just like the ones used by Leeuwenhoek and Hooke. True or false

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

While we do know that A. Leeuwenhoek used a simple microscope that consisted of only 1 lens, Hooke used a compound microscope. Although, after trying a compound microscope, Hooke found out that it strained his eyes and continued to use a simple microscope for his Micrographia.

Thus, we can say that the (compound) microscopes used today are different than the (simple) microscope used by Hooke and Leeuwenhoek.
