Answer:

a. polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents.

Explanation:

Polarity is a phenomenon that has to do with the positive and negative electric (ionic) charges of a molecule. A molecule with distinct positive and electric charge is said to be POLAR. However, water is said to be a universal solvent because it dissolves more substances than any other solvent can.

This solvent property of water is a function of its POLARITY. Polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents. Hence, only polar solutes can dissolve in water (a polar solvent). Hence, in this case, CH3OCH3 (ether) will dissolve in water because it is a POLAR molecule/solute.

Which phrase best describes the path of a light wave?

VikaD [51]

Answer: D

Explanation:

Light waves travel in straight paths called rays. Unlike sound, where waves have to travel through matter to be heard, light waves do not have to travel through matter to be seen. Instead, rays travel in a straight path until they hit an object. A ray's straight path is the path of light

Answer:

It will require<u> second round</u> of the cycle to release $14C0_2$

Explanation:

<u>Reason behind the requirement of second round of the cycle to release </u> $CO_2$ -:

The C4 carbon of succinyl CoA is acetyl from acetyl CoA. Succinyl CoA is converted to succinate, which is then converted to fumarate, fumarate, malate, and eventually oxaloacetate. 14C will be found in oxaloacetate at either C1 or C4. During the second round of the loop, each of these carbons will be converted to carbon dioxide.
