Answer:
The characteristic of water that makes this liquid stick to the side of a test tube is called capillarity (Claim).
Explanation:
Water (H₂O) is a polar molecule with the ability to generate van der Waals forces, which is explained by the 4 hydrogen bonds it forms to bind to other substances. The consequence of the forces of the molecular bonds are four properties of H₂O, including surface tension, cohesion, adhesion and capillarity.
- <u>Claim</u>: The characteristic of water that makes this liquid stick to the side of a test tube is called capillarity.
- <u>Evidence</u>: Cohesion and adhesion of water are properties that come from the forces of the molecular bonds of water, and whose effect is the ability of water to wet surfaces and adhere to a tube that contains it, the latter due to capillarity. Capillarity also allows water to rise through the roots and stems of plants, through their thin vascular ducts.
- <u>Reasoning</u>: <u>cohesion</u> in water depends on the force of attraction between H₂O molecules, <u>adhesion</u> is the capacity of H₂O molecules to join other different molecules and —together with <u>surface tension</u>— make H₂O molecules close to the walls of a glass tube adhere to it, which represents capillarity.
The effect of capillarity is more evident when the test tube is of a smaller diameter, although capillarity and adhesion to its walls always exist, and to a greater degree than any other substance.
Answer:
Use cooking methods that minimize/eliminate contact with water.
Explanation:
Vitamins are important nutrients found in fruits and vegetables. Vitamins can be easily leached out and it is therefore recommended that the vegetables should be consumed immediately after purchase or stored in an airtight container.
The use of cooking method that eliminate contact with water such as freezing, keeping in a close container will help retain the vitamins, reduce degradation rate and prevent it form been lost.
Cutting will allow easy definition of vitamins and result in its lost.
Answer:
C. The results of a model event may not be similar enough to the results of the actual event.
Explanation:
The problem with models is that sometimes we trust them too much! Sometimes they are not accurate for long-term actual events. This is answer choice C.
- Models are never more accurate than reality, so rule out A.
- The model is based on our predictions of the actual event, so rule out B.
- The model being "too similar" to the actual event is what we want! So rule out D.
