Answer:

A carbohydrate is a compound composed of molecules of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) such that its general chemical formula is CH_2OH.

Biochemical functions of carbohydrates: Carbohydrates provide Stored Energy, Carbohydrates help to preserve Muscle and promote digestive health and Carbohydrates build macromolecules

Explanation:

A carbohydrate is a compound composed of molecules of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) such that its general chemical formula is CH_2OH.

Biochemical functions of carbohydrates:

1. Carbohydrates provide Stored Energy.

2. Carbohydrates help to preserve Muscle and promote digestive health.

3. Carbohydrates build macromolecules

How can you determine an object mechanical energy
Dafna1 [17]
Objects have mechanical energyif they are in motion and/or if they are at some position relative to a zero potential energy position (for example, a brick held at a vertical position above the ground or zero height position). A moving car possesses mechanical energydue to its motion (kineticenergy).

Tema [17]

Answer: In order to increase the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and sugar increase the concentration of hydrochloric acid to 2 M because greater concentration results in more collision between the reactants.

Explanation:

More is the concentration of reactant molecules more will be the number of collisions between their molecules. As a result, more readily the products will be formed.

Hence, for the given reaction when concentration of HCl is increased then there will be increase in the number of collisions between reactants.

Thus, we can conclude that in order to increase the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and sugar increase the concentration of hydrochloric acid to 2 M because greater concentration results in more collision between the reactants.

Test tubes are used mostly for _____. A. storing experimental samples B. making precise measurements of liquids C. containing ex
Annette [7]

Answer: A) Storing experimental samples

Explanation:

It is a common piece of laboratory glassware that can be made of glass or plastic and is opened at the top and closed at the bottom.

It cannot be used for measurements because there is no graduation indicating the volume.

Althought it can contain extra chemicals left over from an experiment, it is not the main proposal of the glassware that is to store samples.

It cannot be used in a microscope and the object for that is a microscope slide.

Part A
Roman55 [17]

These are two questions and two answers

Question 1.

Answer:

  • <u>7.33 × 10 ⁻³ c</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Data:</u>

a) m = 9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kg

b) λ =  3.31 × 10⁻¹⁰ m

c) c = 3.00 10⁸ m/s

d) s = ?

<u>2) Formula:</u>

The wavelength (λ), the speed (s), and the mass (m) of the particles are reltated by the Einstein-Planck's equation:

  • λ = h / (m.s)

  • h is Planck's constant: h= 6.626×10⁻³⁴J.s

<u>3) Solution:</u>

Solve for s:

  • s = h / (m.λ)

Substitute:

  • s = 6.626×10⁻³⁴J.s / ( 9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kg ×  3.31 × 10⁻¹⁰ m) = 2.20 × 10 ⁶ m/s

To express the speed relative to the speed of light, divide by c =  3.00 10⁸ m/s

  • s =  2.20 × 10 ⁶ m/s / 3.00 10⁸ m/s = 7.33 × 10 ⁻³

Answer: s = 7.33 × 10 ⁻³ c

Question 2.

Answer:

  • 2.06 × 10 ⁻³⁴ m.

Explanation:

<u>1) Data:</u>

a) m = 45.9 g (0.0459 kg)

b) s = 70.0 m/s

b) λ =  ?

<u>2) Formula:</u>

Macroscopic matter follows the same Einstein-Planck's equation, but the wavelength is so small that cannot be detected:

  • λ = h / (m.s)

  • h is Planck's constant: h= 6.626×10⁻³⁴J.s

<u>3) Solution:</u>

  • λ = h / (m.s)

Substitute:

  • λ =  6.626×10⁻³⁴J.s / ( 0.0459 kg ×  70.0 m/s) = 2.06 × 10 ⁻³⁴ m

As you see, that is tiny number and explains why the wave nature of the golf ball is undetectable.

Answer: 2.06 × 10 ⁻³⁴ m.
