Which equation shows a physical change?

2 answers:

H2O(g) --> H2O(s)

This is the change of phase from gas to solid, which is a physical change.

The other equations correspond to chemical changes given that the origin subtances are forming different substances

Answer: The correct equation is $H_2O(g)\rightarrow H_2O(s)$

Explanation:

A physical change is defined as the change in which there is change in shape and size of the object and no change in the chemical composition of the substance. In this process, no new substance gets formed.

A chemical change is defined as the change in which chemical composition of the substance gets changed and new substance gets formed.

From the given options:

In first three options, new substances are getting formed and hence they are considered as a chemical change.

Only in last option, there is change in the physical state of matter that is change from gaseous state to solid state. No new substance is getting formed.

Hence, the correct equation is $H_2O(g)\rightarrow H_2O(s)$

Which of the following statements is true?

seropon [69]

Answer: option D Chemical reaction rates vary with the conditions of the reaction, but nuclear decay rates do not.

Justification:

1) The rate of chemical reactions are affected by: concentration of the reactants, state of the reactants, temperature, and presence of catalizers. So the first part of the statement is true.

2) Nuclear decay rates are constant. The decay depends on the nature of the element but not the conditions. That is why dating fossils with radiactive isotopes is possible. So, the second part of the statement is true.

For each row in the table below, decide whether the pair of elements will form a molecular or ionic compound. If they will, then

Olin [163]

Answer:

$\begin{array}{cccll}\textbf{Element 1} & \textbf{ Element 2} &\textbf{Compound?} &\textbf{Formula} &\textbf{Type}\\\text{Ar}&\text{Xe} &\text{No} &\text{None}&\text{Neither}\\\text{F}& \text{Cs} &\text{Yes} &\text{CsF} &\text{Ionic}\\\text{N} &\text{Br} &\text{Yes} & \text{NBr}_{3}&\text{molecular} \\\end{array}$

Explanation:

You look at the type of atom and their electronegativity difference.

If ΔEN <1.6, covalent; if ΔEN >1.6, ionic

Ar/Xe: Noble gases; no reaction

F/Cs: Non-metal + metal; ΔEN = |3.98 – 0.79| = 3.19; Ionic

N/Br: Two nonmetals; ΔEN = |3.04 - 2.98| = 0.

Cytoplasm is a mixture of what two things?

alexira [117]

In cell biology, the cytoplasm is the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the cell nucleus. It comprises cytosol (the gel-like substance enclosed within the cell membrane) and the organelles – the cell's internal sub-structures. All of the contents of the cells of prokaryote organisms (such as bacteria, which lack a cell nucleus) are contained within the cytoplasm. Within the cells of eukaryote organisms the contents of the cell nucleus are separated from the cytoplasm, and are then called thenucleoplasm. The cytoplasm is about 80% water and usually colorless.[1]

It is within the cytoplasm that most cellular activities occur, such as many metabolic pathways including glycolysis, and processes such as cell division. The concentrated inner area is called the endoplasm and the outer layer is called the cell cortex or theectoplasm.

Movement of calcium ions in and out of the cytoplasm is a signaling activity for metabolic processes.[2]

In plants, movement of the cytoplasm around vacuoles is known as cytoplasmic streaming.
