Suppose that the volatile impurities in the crucible are not burned off while cleaning the crucible but are removed during the e

xperiment. Is the reported mass percent of water in the hydrated salt too high or too low?

<span>If you don't properly clean a crucible before weighing it, the mass that you record will be greater than the actual mass of the crucible. If that extra weight is lost during the course of an experiment and you reweigh the full crucible later, you will not account for some of the product generated; that is, your final mass of the full crucible minus the original mass of the crucible will generate a value lesser than the one that you SHOULD. So, for this experiment, I gather that you placed in a crucible some sort of hydrated salt and then heated it to remove the water. If, in addition to removing water, you also removed some sort of impurity from the crucible, it is going to appear that you have lost more water weight than you actually have. So, you will be reporting a mass percent of water that is too high.</span>

The reported mass will be too high because the initially recorded mass will include both water and impurities and the final mass will without both components. The difference will be larger so the amount of water reported would be higher.

Differentiate between persistent and latent animal virus infections.
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The difference between both infections is that viral infections where the virus is latent, this virus once infected is protected in the nerves of the animal organism, as for example in humans the herpes family viruses (HSV1) are housed in ganglionic terminals such as the trigeminal ganglion or the V cranial nerve, so that in a situation of immunodepression, reinfect the individual again, causing him to be unable to remove the virus from his body.

On the other hand, persistent infections diseases are the threats that persist because the microorganism cannot be eliminated, either because it is very complex, or the cure does not exist, or the correct treatment is not carried out. Furthermore, it is necessary to consider that some microorganisms mutate becoming resistant to these drugs and thus persist longer in the body until they are eliminated.

Explanation:

In short, latency refers to the fact that the individual lives with the virus for life, and persistence is that it is possible to eliminate it over a long period of time since the infectious microorganism is considered very difficult.

Answers:

1. Facilitated diffusion: the process by which some molecules that are not able to pass directly through a cell membrane are able to enter the cell with the aid of transport proteins.

2. Osmosis: the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane.

3. Diffusion: the spreading out of molecules across a cell membrane until to they are equally concentrated.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of molecules across a membrane from an area of high concentration to one of low concentration gradient.

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to one of high solute concentration.

Facilitated transport occurs when molecules cannot diffuse directly through a cell membrane but can diffuse down a concentration gradient through transport channels in the membrane.

Protein breakdown into amino acids is the statement that correctly explains the complex molecule.

Option (c);

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>  

Cells in our body carry put several chemical reactions which in turn keep us healthy. All these reactions are collectively called metabolism. With the breakdown of complex molecules, it releases a lot of energy into the body.Through this process, Proteins are broken down into amino acids.

Various enzymes, specifically pepsin and hydrochloric acid breaks proteins into individual amino acids. They on further broken into a-keto acids. These amino acids reduces body weight and improves energy in the human body.
