Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When monomers in a chemical reaction combine together then it results in the formation of long chains. This process is known as polymerization.

For example, rubber and plastic are formed by polymerization.

Esterification is defined as a process in which esters are formed when an acid is heated with alcohol.

Saponification is defined as a process in which aqueous alkali is heated with a fat or oil resulting in the formation of a soap.

Fermentation is a process in which bacteria like microorganisms, yeast etc help in the breakdown of a substance into simpler substances.

Thus, we can conclude that polymerization is an organic reaction which produces rubber and plastics.

Researchers are investigating processes that happen during digestion. Which answer choice describes only a physical change durin
ElenaW [278]

The correct answer is B. Chewing in the mouth breaks food into small pieces.

Explanation:

In physical changes, substances do not change their chemical composition or properties but only physical features such as this. This occurs during the chewing because the action of chewing only makes food to be broken down in smaller pieces but does not change its identity, composition, or properties. This does not occur once the food is in contact with saliva, the acid in the stomach, etc. because in these cases, the food reacts with other substances and a chemical reaction occurs, which changes food's identity and composition.

Why is it better to allow the solvent front to move almost to the top of a paper strip rather than stopping it at the halfway po
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

To allow all the elements or compounds to separate complete.

Explanation:

In chromatography, the compounds need some space and time to separate, one from each other, if you  just use the half of the paper strip maybe you will not notice the different spots of compounds. Remember all the substances have different affinity for the solvents, that means, some react very quickly but others need more time as the colors that conform the black color in an ink.
