Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf Mass \ of \ products \ = \ mass \ of \ reactants}}$

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed.

In a chemical reaction, there are products and reactants. The reactants react and produce the products.

Since mass can't be created or destroyed, the mass of the products must be equal to the mass of the reactants if mass was conserved in a chemical reactions.

Answer: option C.Water will move into the cell

Explanation:

1) Start by analyzing what the statement means in terms of relative concentrations:

------------------------ | inside the cell ------------ | outside the cell |

sugar --------------- | higher ----------------------- | lower ------------- |

water -------------- | lower ------------------------- | higher ------------ |

2) Osmosis is the process where a barrier (the celll membrane) permits the pass of some component and not others.

The component that can pass is that whose particles are smaller. Sugar molecules (the solute) are bigger than water molecules (the solvent), so sugar molecules cannot pass the cell membrane. Only water can.

3) The driviing force for the motion of water molecules is called diffusion. The diffusion occurs from higher concentrations to lower concentrations.

Hence, the water molecules will from outside the outiside the cell, where they have the greater concentration, toward the inside of the cell, where water hasa the lower concentration.

As result, the water will move into the cell, which is the option C.

With what compound will nh3 experience only dispersion intermolecular forces? with what compound will nh3 experience only disper

Burka [1]

Answer is: ammonia experience only dispersion intermolecular forces with BF₃ (boron trifluoride) because BF₃ is only nonpolar molecule (vectors of dipole moments cansel each other, dipole moment is zero).
The London dispersion force (intermolecular force) is a temporary attractive force between molecules.

4. Imagine you have a radioactive sample containing both Virtualium and decayed atoms of Virtualium. After analysis, you find it

Romashka [77]

My sample would be 4000 years old because on my graph, I had about 9 Virtualium left at trial 4 so I am guessing that it would be 4000 years old.
