Answer:
First, the microwaves transmit kinetic energy to the water molecules of the food, heating the water molecules. Only, those that are not very deep into the food.
Second, the hot water molecules transmit heat by conduction to the other parts of the food.
Explanation:
1) Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. The same as any wave, they carry energy.
2) The wave length of microwaves are in the range of 0.001 mm to 1 m (shorter than radio waves and longer than infrared)
3) The microwaves of an oven, used to heat food, have a wave length aroun 12 cm.
4) The microwaves transmit energy to the water molecules in the food, by increasing the kinetic energy of water molecules. As result, the water molecules get hotter. Microwaves only penetrate about 1 cm inside the food (a potato for example) and from that the heat is transferred by conduction to the inner parts of the food.
<em>What is genetic modification (GM) of crops and how is it done? GM is a technology that involves inserting DNA into the genome of an organism. To produce a GM plant, new DNA is transferred into plant cells. Usually, the cells are then grown in tissue culture where they develop into plants.</em>
First. let's write the reaction formula: HBr +LiOH ----> LiBr + H₂O
let's get the moles of LiOH first
moles= Molarity x Liters
moles= 0.253 M x 0.01673 Liter= 0.00423 moles LiOH
using the balanced equation, you can see that 1 mol LiOH is equal to 1 mol HBr. so:
0.00423 mol LiOH = 0.00423 mol HBr
now let's find the concentration
molarity= mol/ Liters
0.00423 mol/ 0.01000 Liters= 0.423 M
