Answer:

Plants can split starch into it's simpler glucose units for use as energy when needed. Cellulose is known as a structural carbohydrate because of the fibers formed by it's molecules. It is the major component of plant cell walls and comprises over half of the carbon found on planets.

Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from JJ Thomson's cathode ray experiments?A.) Atoms contain electronsB.) Practic

kari74 [83]

Answer:

A.) Atoms contain electrons

Explanation:

J.J. Thomson conducted an experiment in which he took a gas at low pressure in a discharge tube and applied high voltage current. When he did so, he noticed that there are some particles emitting from cathode going towards the anode. Then he concluded that they are negatively charged particles and coined them electrons.

Hence, out of the options:- A.) Atoms contain electrons is correct.

A solid that forms when two liquids react with one another

victus00 [196]

Combining the two clear colorless liquids is a chemical change because a different solid substance is formed. Tell students that a precipitate is an insoluble solid that forms when two solutions are combined and react chemically.

A 100 W light bulb is placed in a cylinder equipped with a moveable piston. The light bulb is turned on for 2.0×10−2 hour, and t

drek231 [11]

Answer:

(a) ΔU = 7.2x10²

(b) W = -5.1x10²

(c) q = 5.2x10²

Explanation:

From the definition of power (p), we have:

$p = \frac {\Delta W}{\Delta t} = \frac {\Delta U}{\Delta t}$ (1)

where, p: is power (J/s = W (watt)) W: is work = ΔU (J) and t: is time (s)

(a) We can calculate the energy (ΔU) using equation (1):

$\Delta U = p \cdot \Delta t = 100 \frac{J}{s} \cdot 2.0\cdot 10^{-2} h \cdot \frac{3600s}{1h} = 7.2 \cdot 10^{2} J$

(b) The work is related to pressure and volume by:

$\Delta W = -p \Delta V$

where p: pressure and ΔV: change in volume = V final - V initial

$\Delta W = - p \cdot (V_{fin} - V_{ini}) = - 1.0 atm (5.88L - 0.85L) = - 5.03 L \cdot atm \cdot \frac{101.33J}{1 L\cdot atm} = -5.1 \cdot 10^{2} J$

(c) By the definition of Energy, we can calculate q:

$\Delta U = \Delta W + \Delta q$

where Δq: is the heat transfer

$\Delta q = \Delta U - \Delta W = 7.2 J - (-5.1 \cdot 10^{2} J) = 5.2 \cdot 10^{2} J$

I hope it helps you!

Thallium has two stable isotopes, 203tl and 205tl. knowing that the atomic weight of thallium is 204.4, which isotope is the mor

Elza [17]

You have to figure out a way to write the two unknown abundances in terms of one variable.

The total abundance is 1 (or 100%). So if you say the abundance for the first one is X then the abundance for the second one has to be 1-X (where X is the decimal of the percentage so say 0.8 for 80%).

203(X) + 205(1-X) = 204.4

Then you just solve for X to get the percentage for TI-203.
And then solve for 1-X to get the percentage for TI-205.

After that the higher percentage would be the most abundant.

203x + 205 - 205x = 204.4
-2x + 205 = 204.4
-2x = -0.6

x = 0.3
1-x = 0.7

Then the TI-205 would have the highest percentage and would be the most abundant.
