Answer:

Water will flow from the cucumber to the solution is the answer.

Explanation:

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the term osmosis is defined as the movement of a solvent through a semipermeable membrane (as of a living cell) into a solution of higher solute concentration that tends to equalize the concentrations of solute on the two sides of the membrane. This is what happens when water flows from the cucumber to the solution.

A cucumber is placed in a concentrated salt solution. What will most likely happen?

Answer:

If a cucumber is emerged in a very strong salt solution, the resulting pickles is shivered. It is because the cucumber tends to remove or lose water when placed in that particular environment.

How do three states of matter arise?

Evgen [1.6K]

The status of the state of matter of a material defines the phase. Pellet currently case 16 is defined; three of which solid, liquid and gas are referred to as conventional cases. There are a total of 16 state currently defined, these classic except; liquid crystal, amorphous solid, magnetic regularly, superconducting, superfluid, the Bose-Einstein condensation, Rydberg molecules, plasma (ionized gas), the quark-gluon plasma, degenerate matter, Superkate, the stringy liquid and SuperCam mine. Daily life in general, solid materials, include liquid or gaseous, but outside world, 99% of the material in the universe plasma (ionized gas) is in the form.

The principal component of mothballs is naphthalene, a compound with a molecular mass of about 130 amu, containing only carbon a

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Empirical formula = C5H4

Molecular formula = C10H8

Explanation:

When the 3000 mg of naphthalene are burned they produce 10.3 mg of CO2. Knowing the unbalanced equation of the combustion of naphthalene, we have:

CxHy + O2 = CO2 + H2O

We calculate the molar composition of the sample. We look for the molecular weights in the periodic table:

CO2 = 12,011 + 2 (15,999) = 44,009 g

Mol C = 10.3 mg * (1 mol CO2 / 44.009 g CO2) * (1 mol C / 1 mol CO2) = 0.234 mmol C

Mass C = 0.234 mmol C * (12.011 g C / 1 mol C) = 2.8105 mg C

Mass H = 3 mg - 2.8105 mg = 0.1895 mg H

Mol H = 0.1895 mg H * (1 mol H / 1,008 g H) = 0.188 mmol H

To calculate the empirical formula, we must divide the number of moles of each element by the smallest number of moles, in this case, of hydrogen:

C = 0.2340 mmol C / 0.1895 mol H = 1.25

H = 0.1895 mmol H / 0.1895 mmol H = 1

We multiply the coefficients by 4, and we have the empirical formula:

C1.25 * 4H1 * 4 = C5H4

The molecular formula is equal to (C5H4)m, where m is calculated by the molecular and empirical mass ratio, as follows:

Empirical mass = (5 * 12.011) + (4 * 1.008) = 64.09 g

m = 130 g / 64.09 g = 2.02 = 2

Therefore we have the molecular formula:

(C5H4)2 = C10H8

lassify these bonds as ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent. Ionic Polar covalent Nonpolar covalent

jarptica [38.1K]

The question is incomplete, complete question is:

Classify these bonds as ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent.

Na-F

P-Cl

Cl-Cl

Answer:

Na-F : The bond present is ionic bond.

PCl : The bond present is polar covalent bond.

ClCl : The bond present is non polar covalent bond.

Explanation:

1) Ionic bonds are defined as the bonds which are formed by the complete transfer of electrons from cation (positively charged ions) to anion (negatively charged ions). For Example: NaCl, $BaSO_4$ etc.

Ionic compound :This compound is formed when difference in electronegativity between the atoms is very large.

2) Covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms. For Example: HCl, $CH_4$ etc.

Polar covalent compound: This compound is formed when difference in electronegativity between the atoms is present. When atoms of different elements combine, it results in the formation of polar covalent bond. For Example: $CO_2,NO_2$ etc..

Non-polar covalent compound: This compound is formed when there is no difference in electronegativity between the atoms. When atoms of the same element combine, it results in the formation of non-polar covalent bond. For Example: $N_2,O_2$ etc.

Na-F : Two different atoms with high electronegativity difference

Ionic compound because sodium is metal and fluorine is non metal and the difference between their electronegativity is very large.The bond present is ionic bond.

PCl : Two different atoms with low electronegativity difference

Polar covalent compound because phosphorus and fluorine both are non metal and the difference between their electronegativity is not very large.The bond present is polar covalent bond.

ClCl : Two same atoms with nil electronegativity difference.

Non Polar covalent compound because both are chlorine atom (non metal) and the difference between their electronegativity is zero.The bond present is non polar covalent bond.

A 58.5 g sample of glass is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 250.0 g of water. The glass sample starts

Ket [755]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of glass is 0.70J/g°C

Explanation:

Heat lost by glass = heat gained by water

Heat lost by glass = mass × specific heat capacity (c) × (final temperature - initial temperature) = 58.5×c×(91.2 - 21.7) = 4065.75c

Heat gained by water = mass × specific heat capacity × (final temperature - initial temperature) = 250×4.2×(21.7 - 19) = 2835

4065.75c = 2835

c = 2835/4065.75 = 0.70J/g°C
