Use the conservation of mass to explain why a rusty nail weighs more than the original nail.

Chemistry

<h3><u>Answer and Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Rust is iron oxide, a molecule consisting of iron and oxygen. The mass of the iron in the rust molecules comes from the original nail, but the mass of the oxygen has come from the air.
  • When rust forms on iron, the mass of the iron object is increased by the mass of the oxygen that has combined with some of the iron.
  • Rusty iron weighs more because the iron reacts with oxygen in the air to form oxides which are solids which appear to grow on the iron as more oxygen comes along.

If the concentration of a sugar solution is lower outside the cell than inside the cell which will happen by osmosis?. A.Sugar w
lys-0071 [83]

Answer: option C.Water will move into the cell

Explanation:

1) Start by analyzing what the statement means in terms of relative concentrations:

------------------------ | inside the cell ------------ | outside the cell |

sugar --------------- | higher ----------------------- | lower ------------- |

water -------------- | lower ------------------------- | higher ------------ |

2) Osmosis is the process where a barrier (the celll membrane) permits the pass of some component and not others.

The component that can pass is that whose particles are smaller. Sugar molecules (the solute) are bigger than water molecules (the solvent), so sugar molecules cannot pass the cell membrane. Only water can.

3) The driviing force for the motion of water molecules is called diffusion. The diffusion occurs from higher concentrations to lower concentrations.

Hence, the water molecules will from outside the outiside the cell, where they have the greater concentration, toward the inside of the cell, where water hasa the lower concentration.

As result, the water will move into the cell, which is the option C.

Which sample has particles with the lowest average kinetic energy?
Anastasy [175]
The question asks average kinetic energy. So it is only related with the temperature. The higher temperature is, the higher kinetic energy is. So the answer is (4).

Stells [14]

Answer: The bubbles produced are most likely due to oxygen.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a phenomenon in which green plants containing chlorophyll use sunlight as a source of energy to convert carbon dioxide and water to form glucose and oxygen.

The balanced chemical reaction for photosynthesis is:

6CO_2+6H_2O\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2

Thus the bubbles produced are most likely due to oxygen.
