Answer:

Cohesion

Explanation:

Cohesion tension theory of water movement up the tree vessels

Cohesion is the term used to describe the binding forces present in water molecules through hydrogen bonds as such the water molecules have considerable tensile strenghth allowing them to be pulled up into the leaves of plants through the tree vessels without breakage as longitutudinal stress are placed on the water as it is pulled up

9. Identify which properties of each of the following elements make them ideal for their uses. KIU A (a) copper and aluminum for

Arisa [49]

Answer:

Each element has its own unique properties. Each contains a different number of protons and neutrons, giving it its own atomic number and mass number. The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons that element contains. The mass number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons of that element. Therefore, it is possible to determine the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number.

Molecule of water contains hydrogen and oxygen in a 1:8 ratio by mass. This is a statement of __________.A) the law of multiple

fgiga [73]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

The molecule of water has 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen.

The ratio of masses are given as:

$2\times 1 g/mol: 1\times 16 g/mol= 1 : 8$

This illustrates the law of definite proportions which is also known as law of constant compositions .

The law states that 'the elements combining to form compound always combine in a fixed ratio by their mass.'

Whereas :

Law of multiple proportion states that when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compounds , the mass of one element with respect to the fixed mass of another element are in ratio of small whole numbers.

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

In a balanced chemical reaction ,total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

In a study of the conversion of methane to other fuels, a chemical engineer mixes gaseous methane and gaseous water in a 0.778 L

sergejj [24]

Answer:

the water concentration at equilibrium is

⇒ [ H2O(g) ] = 0.0510 mol/L

Explanation:

CH4(g) + H2O(g) ↔ CO(g) + 3H2(g)

∴ Kc = ( [ CO(g) ] * [ H2 ]³ ) / ( [ CH4(g) ] * [ H2O(g) ] ) = 0,30

equilibrium:

⇒ [ CO(g) ] = 0.206 mol / 0.778 L = 0.2648 mol/L

⇒ [ H2(g) ] = 0.187 mol / 0.778 L = 0.2404 mol/L

⇒ [ CH4(g) ] = 0.187 mol / 0.778 L = 0.2404 mol/L

replacing in Kc:

⇒ ((0.2648) * (0.2404)³) / ([ H2O(g) ] * 0.2404 ) = 0.30

⇒ 0.0721 [ H2O(g) ] = 3.679 E-3

⇒ [ H2O(g) ] = 0.0510 mol/L
