Answer:

Phototropism.

Explanation:

Phototropism is the phenomenon of plants growing in response to light. This is a response to the plants to align or steer towards the source of sunlight, thereby becoming the 'path' to their growth.

The term "photo" means light and "tropism" means "growth" or movement towards". So, we can safely say that phototropism is the scientific and natural phenomenon of plants growing towards or in response to the sunlight.

Thus, the correct answer is phototropism.

If you compare the solubilities of the noble gases in water, you nd that solubility increases from the smallest atomic weight to

maks197457 [2]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we compare the solubilities of the noble gases in water, then solubility increases from the smallest atomic weight to the largest, Ar < Kr < Xe. This is because more is the atomic weigh of the gas more will be the dispersion forces present in it.

As a result, it will have more number of attractive interactions with the water molecules. Therefore, more is the attraction more will be the solubility of the gas.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement heavier the gas, the more dispersion forces it has, and therefore the more attractive Interactions it has with water molecules, is the best explanation.

Wastewater discharged into a stream by a sugar refinery contains 3.40 g of sucrose (C12H22O11) per liter. A government-industry

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: The pressure that must be applied to the apparatus is 0.239 atm

Explanation:

To calculate the osmotic pressure, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=iMRT$

or,

$\pi=i\times \frac{m_{solute}}{M_{solute}\times V_{solution}\text{ (in L)}}}\times RT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

$m_{solute}$ = mass of sucrose = 3.40 g

$M_{solute}$ = molar mass of sucrose = 342.3 g/mol

$V_{solution}$ = Volume of solution = 1 L

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $20^oC=[20+273]K=293K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\pi =1\times \frac{3.40g}{342.3g/mol\times 1}\times 0.0821\text{ L. atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 293K\\\\\pi =0.239atm$

Hence, the pressure that must be applied to the apparatus is 0.239 atm

Snape and Dumbledore both agree that safety must be a priority. Before we get into the more challenging questions they think we

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C) "Handle your thermometer with care. When you remove it from your drawer be sure to hold both ends of the thermometer so that it does not slip out".

Explanation:

Handling a thermometer with care is part of the laboratory safety precautions that should be considered regarding to the reactivity of metals. Old thermometers are based on the element mercury, a shining metal that is the only element that is in liquid state on room temperature conditions. Mercury is very toxic, and is particularly dangerous because it vaporizes at room temperature and it could be inhaled.

If 60.0 ml of a 1.5 m hcl solution is put into a flask and diluted with water to make 2.0 l of solution

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The molarity of the diluted HCl solution: M₂ = 0.045 M

Explanation:

To find- the molarity of the diluted HCl solution (M₂)

Given- For original HCl solution-

Molarity: M₁ = 1.5 M, Volume: V₁ = 60.0 ml = 0.06 L (∵ 1L = 1000 mL)

Then this original solution is diluted to a volume of 2 L

Thus for the diluted HCl solution-

The Volume of the diluted HCl solution: V₂ = 2 L

So the Molarity of the diluted HCl solution (M₂) can be calculated by the dilution equation:

$M_{1}\times V_{1} = M_{2}\times V_{2}$

$\Rightarrow M_{2} = \frac{M_{1}\times V_{1}}{V_{2}}$

$\Rightarrow M_{2} = \frac{1.5 M\times 0.06 L}{2 L} = 0.045 M$

Therefore, the molarity of the diluted HCl solution: M₂ = 0.045 M
