If you quickly plunge a room-temperature mercury thermometer into very hot water, what will happen to the mercury level?\

Chemistry
1 answer:
jeka57 [31]3 years ago

The answer is; The mercury level first falls then begin to rise rapidly.

This is because even though glass is not a good thermal conductor, the great heat variation causes the glass to gather heat and expand first even before the mercury is reached by the heat. This increases the volume of the lumen of the glass hence causing the mercury level to drop as the volume of the glass increases.

however, as the heat reaches the mercury, it also begins to expand and the levels stop falling and begin to rise.

Bacteria cells are different from plant and animal cells because they don't have what???!
icang [17]
<span>
Plants and animals are multi-cellular organisms composed of eukaryotic cells, while bacteria are single-cell prokaryotic organisms. Each eukaryotic cell of a plant or animal includes a central nucleus containing DNA and membrane-bound organelles, such as endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. A bacterial cell has no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.

hope it helps! :)

If i have 4 moles of a gas at a pressure of 5 atm and a volume of 12 liters what is the temperature?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

182.70K

Explanation:

Using the general gas equation as follows:

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = 0.0821 Latm/Kmol

T = temperature (K)

Based on the provided information, P = 5 atm, V = 12L, n = 4 moles, T =?

PV = nRT

5 × 12 = 4 × 0.0821 × T

60 = 0.3284T

T = 60/0.3284

T = 182.70K

What precautions must be taken when you introduce a mixture of compounds to be separated onto a liquid chromatography column?
earnstyle [38]

<span>The slim exit of the column is first persisted with glass wool or a permeable plate in order to sustain the column packing element and keep it from getting out of the tube. Then the adsorbent solid, which is usually a silica, is firmly packed into the glass tube to make the separating column. The packing of the non-moving phase into the glass column must be done with precaution to create an even distribution of material. An even distribution of adsorbent material is very important to lessen the existence of air bubbles and/or channels inside the column. To finish preparing the column, the solvent to be used as the mobile phase is delivered through the dry column. Then the column is said to be "wetted" and the column must stay wet throughout the entire procedure. Once the column is properly prepared, the sample to be separated is placed at the top of the wet column.</span>

1.Using the absorbance of the spinach extract and the equation of the trendline, determine the concentration of the extract solu
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

We are to make use of the spinach absorbance extract which is the corrected absorbance  (y) = 0.306

And also the trendline equation:

y = 1609x + 0.0055

where,

x = absorbance of the spinach extract.

∴

0.306 = 1609x + 0.0055

collecting the like terms

0.306 - 0.0055 = 1609x

0.3005  = 1609x

x = 0.3005/1609

x = 1.8676 × 10⁻⁴

x ≅ 0.0002 M

No. of grams for the chlorophyll can be computed as follows:

recall that:

molar mass of chlorophyll = 893.5 g/mol

the volume = 25ml = (25/1000) L = 0.025 L

∴

In spinach solution, the no. of grams for the chlorophyll:

= (0.0002) mol/L × (893.5 g/mol) × (0.025) L

= 0.0044675 g

≅ 0.0045 g

In the spinach, the concentration of chlorophyll = no of grams of chlorophyll/ mass of the spinach

= 4.5 mg/0.1876 g

= 23.987 mg/g

≅ 24 mg/g
