Answer:
C. Water passes into the salt solution, dehydrating bacterial cells and making them harmless.
Explanation:
The salt solution is hypertonic to the bacterial cells and as such, water molecules will move from the bacterial cells into the salt solution, dehydrating the cells and rendering them harmless.
Option A is also true but it is irrelevant to the question asked. Option B and D are wrong.
The correct option is C.
Protons always has a positive charge
Answer:
A - The water cycle
Explanation:
Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. These clouds may produce precipitation, which is the primary route for water to return to the Earth's surface within the water cycle. Condensation is the opposite of evaporation.
Answer: the percent by mass of potassium nitrate is 13.3%
Explanation:
<u>1) Data:</u>
- Mass of solute, m₁ = 45.0 g
- Volume of solvent, V₂ = 295 ml
- density of water, d₂ = 0.997 g/ml
<u>2) Formulae</u>:
- Percent by mass, % = (mass of solute / mass of solution) × 100
- Density, d = mass / volume
<u>3) Solution</u>:
- d = mass / volume ⇒ m₂ = d₂ × V₂ = 0.997 g/ml × 295 ml = 294. g
- mass of solution = m₁ + m₂ = 45.0g + 294. g = 339. g
- % = (45.0 g / 339. g) × 100 = 13.3 %
- The answer has to be reported with 3 significant figures.
