Answer:

Liquid cannot expand because it can only take up space based on the quantity of the liquid. For example, half a glass of water cannot expand to completely fill the glass because there's only half a glass of water.

I hope this helps! :)

Answer:

Glucose and oxygen are required for cellular respiration. As the law of conversation states, in a biochemical reaction, mass is conserved. The mass of hydrogen in the glucose is therefore conserved in the water molecules products.

Nataliya [291]
I can tell you there certainly is enough information, so we can eliminate the fourth option right away.
Group two elements tend to form 2+ cations, and nitrogen forms 3- anions. To make a stable substance, we need those to cancel out. Calling the group 2 element X:
N2X3 would cause the charge to be 2(-3) + 3(2) = 0
This would mean 3 ions of X and 2 anions of N would be a stable ionic compound.
