When food is physically changed, mechanical digestion occurs. Food is broken into smaller parts and mixes continually with enzymes and other gastric juices. Mechanical digestion occurs in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine. Food is chemically changed in digestion when new, smaller substances are formed.

Answer:

When the teeth chews the food. Food moves down the esophagus by the process of peristalsis .The stomach churns the food which breaks it into smaller pieces and mixes it with the gastric juices to produce a liquid called chyme. In the small intestine a process called segmentation the chyme sloshes back and forth between the segments of the small intestine.

Pepsi has a density of 1.06 g/mL. It has a mass of 370 g. What is the volume of the can of Pepsi?

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 320.75 mL</h3>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

$volume = \frac{mass}{density} \\$

From the question we have

$volume = \frac{340}{1.06} \\ = 320.7547169...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Sodium borohydride, NaBH4, and boron trifluoride, BF3, are compounds of boron. What are the shapes around boron in the borohydri

STatiana [176]

Compound 1: Sodium borohydride
In sodium borohydride (NaBH4), B is a central metal.
Electronic configuration of B is 1s2 2s2 2p1.
B undergoes sp3 hybridization in NaBH4, to generate 4 hybrid orbitals. These hybrid orbitals, forms sigma bond with 4 'H' atoms. Due to this, the structure of sodium borohydride in tetrahedral.
........................................................................................................................

Compound 2: B<span>oron trifluoride
</span>In boron trifluoride (BF3), B is a central metal.
Electronic configuration of B is 1s2 2s2 2p1.
B undergoes sp2 hybridization in NaBH4, to generate 3 hybrid orbitals. These hybrid orbitals, forms sigma bond with 3 'H' atoms. Due to this, the structure of <span>boron trifluoride</span> is <span>triangular planner</span>.
