What is a single celled orginium able to do

vichka [17]

<span>Many life forms consist of a single cell. As well as simple bacteria, there are more complex organisms, known as protoctists. Unlike bacteria, they have complex internal structures, such as nuclei containing organized strands of genetic material called chromosomes. Most are single-celled, but some form colonies, with each cell usually remaining self-sufficient.</span>

Match the following reactions with the reaction type. You may use each type more than once.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

1) Decomposition

2)Double-replacement reaction

3)synthesis

4)Double-replacement reaction

5)single-replacement reaction

6)Double-replacement reaction

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Synthesis: This is a reaction where two or more reactants will combine to form a new, single product. This is occurs when two or more reactants combine to form a single product. This can be shown with the following equation.

A + B → C

A and B are the reactants to form a new product C

Decomposition: This is a reaction where 1 (more complex) compound will be broken down into 2 or more (more simple) products.

This can be shown by the following equation:

AB → A + B

A single replacement: This is a reaction where one element wil be replaced by another element in the same compound. This can be shown by the following equation:

A + BC → B + AC

Here is the elemnt B in the compound BC, replaced by the element A, to form a new compound AC

A double-replacement: This is a reaction where the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds will be exchanged and 2 new compounds willbe formed. This can be shown by the following equation:

AB+CD→AD+BC

A combustion reaction requires oxygen gas (O2) to produce the products CO2 and H2O

Step 2:

1) 2HgO(s) → 2Hg(l) + O2(g)

⇒ Decomposition

2) KCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq)

⇒ Double-replacement reaction

3) 2Na(s) + H2(g) → 2NaH(s)

⇒ synthesis

4) Mg(OH)2(aq) + 2HNO2(aq) → Mg(NO2)2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

⇒ Double-replacement reaction

5) Ca(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) → Ca(NO3)2(aq) + Ag(s)

⇒ Single-replacement reaction

6) Al2O3(s) + H2SO4(aq) → Al2(SO4)3(aq) + H2O(l)

⇒ Double-replacement reaction

If the vinegar buret tip were not filled with solution before its initial reading was taken, would the calculated normality of t

Alexxx [7]

The normality that would be calculated will be to high because the change in volume will be greater than the actual change in volume. if the buret tip is not filled when reading the initial volume, the actual volume should be lesser with that reading. so if you will you the higher reading the change in volume or the volume you use in titration will be higher than the actual

Which interactions and processes contribute to the dissolution of ionic compounds in water?

Tanya [424]

Explanation:

Polarity is defined as the development of partial charges on the atoms of a molecule. In a water molecule, there are hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

Due to the difference in electronegativity of both hydrogen and oxygen atom there is development of partial positive charge on hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge on oxygen atom.

So, when bond between hydrogen and oxygen will break down then it will form hydrogen ions ( $H^{+}$ ) and oxygen ions ( $O^{2-}$ ).

Ion-dipole interactions are defined as the interactions that occur when an ion interacts with the dipole of a molecule.

When an electron is added to a neutral atom to convert it into a negative ion then the amount of change taking place in its energy is known as electron affinity.

So, oxygen atom has an affinity towards cations and hydrogen atom has an affinity for anions.

Thus, we can conclude that following interactions and processes contribute to the dissolution of ionic compounds in water:

1. Affinity of oxygen towards cations

2. Ion–dipole interactions

4. Hydration

6. Affinity of hydrogen towards anions
