Neisseria gonorrhoeae 100-200 uniform

Streptococcus pyogenes (fimbriae plus the M-protein) ? uniform

Pseudomonas aeruginosa 10-20 polar

Explanation:

Pili are structures that extend from the surface of some bacterial cells.

These are hollow, non-helical, filamentous appendages.

Which statement correctly compares ice and liquid water?

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

B. Particles of liquid water have more energy than particles of ice.

Explanation:

We can work this out through eliminating the wrong statements.

A. Both liquid water and ice have definite shapes.

This is wrong because, as stated in the question, water is a liquid, and one of the properties of liquids is that they change shape to fit the shape of their container. If it changes shape, it does not have a "definite" shape.

B. Particles of liquid water have more energy than particles of ice.

This is correct, and here is why. There are 3 states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. As you apply heat energy to an object at each state, the particles receive more energy and can move around more (this is kinetic energy). In the case of liquid (water) and solid (ice), particles in solids do not have much energy and stay in rigid formations. They do vibrate slightly, but only on the spot (this is what gives solids "definite" shapes). On the other hand, particles in liquids have more energy than particles in solids, which means that they can move more (more kinetic ENERGY) and do not stay in formations (this is why they do not have "definite" shapes). Therefore, particles in liquids (water) have more energy than particles in solids (ice), and this statement is correct.

C. Liquid water has a lower temperature than ice.

This is wrong because liquids have more energy than solids. As explained earlier, the reason why particles in liquids have more energy is because more HEAT energy has been applied to them. In the same way, solids have less energy because less HEAT energy has been applied to them. Less heat means a lower temperature. (Also you can use common sense for this one, ice feels colder than liquid water, right?)

D. Ice has a definite volume, but liquid water does not.

This is wrong because of the law of conservation of mass. This law states that particles (or matter or volume) cannot be created or destroyed. When ice melts and becomes liquid water, it has not lost volume: the particles have just gained more energy. This question is most likely there to confuse you, because all substances have definite volumes.

I hope this helps!

For the following reactions, predict the products and write the balanced formula equation, complete ionic equation, and net ioni

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Explanation:

To predict the products of these reactions we need to know the kind of reactions. All these reactions are double replacement reaction. In these kinds of reactions, the products will be the result of exchanging ions in the reactants. So, the first step is to identify the ions.

For the reaction, we have Hg2(NO3)2 and CuSO4. We have the ions Hg+1, NO3-1, Cu+2 and SO4-2

The way to make this exchange is putting together positive in one species with the negative of the other species. Following that rule we have

$Hg^{+1} - - - (SO_{4})^{-2}[/text]
the oxidation number will tell you the subscript for each species in the compound. In this case, is Hg2(SO4) [tex]Cu^{+2} - - - (NO_{3})^{-1} - - -> Cu(NO_{3})_{2} [/text] 
So, the products for this reaction will be
 [tex]Hg_{2} (NO_{3})_{2}(aq) + CuSO_{4}(aq) --> Hg_{2}SO_{4} + Cu(NO_{3})_{2}[/text]

After this, we proceed to balance the equation. For this, we check that we have the same number of each element on both sides of the equation. In this case, we can see that we have the same number, so the equation is balanced. Finally, we check the rules of solubility to see if the species are soluble in water or not. In this case sulfates area always soluble except for mercury so Hg2(SO4) precipitates in the solution (pre). Nitrates are always soluble so Cu(NO3)2 is soluble (aq) 
[tex] Hg_{2}(NO_{3})_{2}(aq) + CuSO_{4}(aq) - -> Hg_{2}SO_{4} (pre) + Cu(NO_{3})_{2}(aq)$

The complete ionic equation allows to show which of the reactants or products exist primarily as ions. For this reaction this will be:

$2Hg^{+1}(aq) + 2(NO_{3})^{-1}(aq) + (SO_{4})^{-2}(aq) + Cu^{+2}(aq) --> Hg_{2}SO_{4} (pre)+ Cu^{+2}(aq) + (NO_{3})^{-1}(aq) [/text]

To get net ionic equation we take away the ions that did not participate in the reactions. In other words the ones that are the same on both sides in the equation. In this case we see that [tex] Cu^{+2}(aq) and (NO_{3})^{-1}(aq) [/text] are the same on both sides so those ions are not include in the net ionic equation. This is:
[tex] 2Hg^{+1}(aq) + (SO_{4})^{-2}(aq) --> Hg_{2}SO_{4} (pre) [/text]

B [tex] Ni(NO_{3})_{2}(aq) + CaCl_{2}(aq)$

ions (1) $Ni^{+2} and (NO_{3})^{-1}$

ions (2) $Ca^{+2} and Cl^{-1}$

Exchanging

$Ni^{+2} ---- Cl^{-1} --> NiCl_{2}$

$Ca^{+2} --- (NO_{3})^{-1} --> Ca(NO_{3})_{2}$

Products

$Ni(NO_{3})_{2}(aq) + CaCl_{2}(aq) --> NiCl_{2} + Ca(NO_{3})_{2}$

The equation is already balanced

Chlorides are always soluble except Ag+, TI+, Pb+2 and Hg2+2. NiCl2 is soluble (aq)

Nitrates are always soluble. Ca(NO3)2 is soluble (aq)

Since both compounds are soluble, we can say that there is not reaction.

Complete ionic equation

$Ni^{+2}(aq) + 2(NO_{3})^{-1} (aq) + Ca^{+2}(aq) + 2Cl^{-1}(aq) - - > Ni^{+2}(aq) + 2(NO_{3})^{-1} (aq) + Ca^{+2}(aq) + 2Cl^{-1}(aq)$

Net ionic equation:

The ions in both sides of the equation are the same so all of them are cancelled and we cannot get a net ionic equation this explains why there is no reaction in this case.

C $K_{2}CO_{3}(aq) + MgI_{2}(aq)$

Ions(1) $K^{+1} and (CO_{3})^{-2}$

Ions(2) $Mg^{+2} and l^{-1}$

Exchanging

$K^{+1} --- l^{-1} - - > KI$

$Mg^{+2} --- (CO_{3})^{-2} - - > Ca(CO_{3})$

Products

$K_{2}CO_{3}(aq) + MgI_{2}(aq) - -> Kl + MgCO_{3}$

The equation is not balanced

Balance equation is

$K_{2}CO_{3}(aq) + MgI_{2}(aq) - -> 2Kl (aq) + MgCO_{3} (pre)$

iodides are always soluble except Ag+, TI+, Pb+2 and Hg2+2. KI is soluble (aq)

carbonates are always insoluble except group 1 cations. MgCO3 is insoluble (pre)

complete ionic equation

$2K^{+1}(aq) + (CO_{3})^{-2}(aq) + Mg^{+2}(aq) + 2l^{-1}(aq) - - > MgCO_{3} (pre) + 2K^{+1}(aq) + 2l^{-1}(aq)$

Net ionic equation

$(CO_{3})^{-2}(aq) + Mg^{+2}(aq) - - > MgCO_{3} (pre)$

D $Na_{2}CrO_{4}(aq) + AlBr_{3}(aq)$

Ions(1) $Na^{+1} and (CrO_{4})^{-2}$

Ions(2) $Al^{+3} and Br^{-1}$

Exchanging

$Na^{+1} ---- Br^{-1} - -> NaBr$

$Al^{+3} --- (CrO_{4})^{-2} - -> Al_{2}(CrO_{4})_{3}$

Products

$Na_{2}CrO_{4}(aq) + AlBr_{3}(aq) - -> NaBr + Al_{2}(CrO_{4})_{3}$

The equation is not balanced

Balance equation is

$3Na_{2}CrO_{4}(aq) + 2AlBr_{3}(aq) - -> 6NaBr + Al_{2}(CrO_{4})_{3}$

bromides are always soluble except Ag+, TI+, Pb+2 and Hg2+2. NaBr is soluble (aq)

chromates are always insoluble except group 1 cations. Al2(CrO4)3 is insoluble (pre)

$3Na_{2}CrO_{4}(aq) + 2AlBr_{3}(aq) - -> 6NaBr(aq) + Al_{2}(CrO_{4})_{3}(pre)$

Complete ionic equation

$6Na^{+1}(aq) + 3(CrO_{4})^{-2}(aq) + 2Al^{+3}(aq) + 6Br^{-1}(aq) - -> Al_{2}(CrO_{4})_{3}(pre) +6Br^{-1}(aq) + 6Na^{+1}(aq)$

Net ionic equation

$3(CrO_{4})^{-2}(aq) + 2Al^{+3}(aq) - -> Al_{2}(CrO_{4})_{3}(pre)$

A calorimeter contains 100 g of water at 39.8 ºC. A 8.23 g object at 50 ºC is placed inside the calorimeter. When equilibrium ha

Tju [1.3M]

When equilibrium has been reached so, according to this formula we can get the specific heat of the unknown metal and from it, we can define the metal as each metal has its specific heat:

Mw*Cw*ΔTw = Mm*Cm*ΔTm

when
Mw → mass of water
Cw → specific heat of water
ΔTw → difference in temperature for water

Mm→ mass of metal
Cw→ specific heat of the metal
ΔTm → difference in temperature for metal

by substitution:

100g * 4.18 * (40-39.8) = 8.23 g * Cm * (50-40)

∴ Cm = 83.6 / 82.3 = 1.02 J/g.°C

when the Cm of the Magnesium ∴ the unknown metal is Mg

Students conduct an experiment:

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

The balloon becomes inflated

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction between baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar(ethanoic acid) is shown below;

NaHCO3 + HC2CH3O2 ------> NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2

The gas (CO2) evolved in the process leads to the inflation of the balloon dropped on the bottle in which the reaction is taking pace.

This observation provides evidence that a gas was really evolved in the reaction.
